On September 9, 2005, when I was a mere 6 weeks of age, I got to go and live with my new family. They were great. There was my Mommy, my Daddy, and my older brother Spencer who for some reason was the only one in the family who had just as much hair as I did. He was just like me, we were going to be best buds, I could just tell!

On my first night in my new home, Spencer let me sleep in his bear bed. It was so comfy and furry. I was tired from our long trek home, so I just snuggled right in and had a nap. Soon enough, when Mommy and Daddy were getting tired, they let me sleep in their bed with them too. This was the life! I was becoming a princess!

The weeks quickly passed, and Spencer taught me how to do a lot of great things. He taught me that, when I ring the bell hanging from the door, I could go out into the back yard and play in the grass. I like grass, it's yummy! There were a lot of yummy things in my new house. I would eat anything from toilet paper to my Mommy's new lilac tree in the back yard to the kitchen blinds. Mommy and Daddy never seemed as excited as I did though. I don't know why.

Before long, it was time for me to start school. That was scary! I got to meet a lot of friends though and get a lot of treats. I was a good girl! That's when it started though, the car sickness. It didn't take long for me to realize that when I had to go in the car, my tummy would feel upset. I still don't like the car. It's yucky!!

I sometimes wonder though, if Mommy and Daddy are trying to change my name. They now call me Snuggle Butt because I am the first one to snuggle into bed when the bedroom door is opened. Just tuck me in under the blankets so I can cuddle and I am good until morning. That is when the kissing game starts. I kiss Daddy all over his face until he gets out of bed to play with me. Sometimes I get him right in the ear. He likes it when I do that. He usually says ewwww, but I know that he's just joking.

My first birthday is coming up on July 28th. I wonder what they are going to get for me. I hope I get a cake like Spencer had, that was good! Maybe I can have my friends over for a Birthday Party, I am going to have to ask Mommy about that. I hope she says Yes.

All in all, life is pretty good in our house. Spencer is the King and I am the little Princess. I couldn't really ask for anything more, except maybe a sister...
