Puppies!!

AKA What I did over the weekend.

We drove down to see my folks for the weekend ("weekend" meaning we left here at 1:00 Saturday afternoon, and got home 11:30 Sunday night - nasty scheduling). Took my dad out for Father's Day. Also returned some sleepers to the Carter's & Children's Place outlet - they're size 12 months, but El Burrito, at 12.5 months, is too long in the leg for them (and this is a boy who's only about 60th percentile on height). The zip-front sleepers are also a pain for diaper changing, so we're going with the 2-piece jammies, which were 70% off at Carter's. Score!! We traded 2 sleepers and $13 for 5 pajama sets; 2 are shirt/pants sets, the other 3 are shirt/pants/shorts and we'll probably not use the shorts, but oh well.

And El Burrito got to play with puppies! My brother's dog had 6 puppies just after our last visit, and we got to meet them. (And if we had a house already, we would have had another passenger in the car on the way home.) Cute little things, 3/4 beagle, 1/4 basset courtesy of Mom, who doesn't lookBasset-y at all.


El Burrito with a lap full of puppies. They slept a lot, and would wake up at random times to play-fight with each other. I've got video of it, and they were trying so hard to sound ferocious. It was hilarious.


El Burrito hugging a puppy. He was ticklish about standing on grass at first, but then he got down and rambled around. I'm glad he's not scared of dogs (at least for now).


Tired puppies. Color-wise, they take after their Daddy, who was mostly black and white, and didn't have as much tan/brown as most beagles do.

I think El Burrito has added "puppy" to his repertoire now. Grandma swears he said it, but I've missed it every time so far. He also tries to say "Cookie Monster" since he got a Sesame Street balloon for his birthday. It sounds more like "CCkkkkhh" right now, but that's okay.
