Milo Milestones


Milo is 8 months old! He weighs a whopping 2 pounds now (he has only gained .5 pounds since we got him 5 months ago) so I guess he won't be getting much bigger. In fact, he is so small he can fit in the pocket of Justin's cargo shorts!
We bought Milo a collar made for a cat and still had to make it smaller. It came with a jingle bell on it so we know where he is at all times (thankfully we haven't tripped over him yet.) Milo can now race up and down the stairs with ease and jump off the couch. He is getting more brave everyday. To wear him out I will throw a ball from the top of the stairs down to the bottom for him to chase and bring back over and over again. There are soccer fields across the street from us where we run around for him to chase us. Justin can run full speed and Milo will be right at his heels!

This dog come with a big personality and is very rambunctious. He doesn't know a stranger. He will run up to anyone (including very large dogs) and try to give kisses on their face. His best friend is Eva, Justin's parent's dog, whom he loves to chase all over the house and lick him all over. Eva graciously puts up with him. We visited our friends Josh & Christi a few weeks back who recently got a wiener dog named Hank. This was the first dog Milo had been around who was more hyper than himself.
For Easter weekend, we took Milo to Round Rock to meet his Crockett grandparents for the first time. They absolutely loved him! Milo loved to be carried and spoiled by my mom. We took him to Old Settler's Park where he got to chase little kids around and bark at the ducks in the pond. How awesome is that sunset?
Well, we still have issues with house-training, but its so hard to get upset at him when he looks so cute. We love our baby!
