Moose: the rocking dog

This post goes out to Kiki! Addie loves her rocking dog; it was a Christmas gift from Kiki and Po. The other day we were sitting in the rocking chair and she suddenly sat upright and reached her arms out in the direction of the big fluffy rocking German Shepherd (strike that-Moose is a Bernese Mountain Dog. Thank you Terry). She would not relent until she was allowed to play with "Moose" (Justin and I named the dog Moose: it just fits). When I plop her down on Moose's back she digs her little fists into the fur and holds on tight while rubbing her face on the back of the dog's head in delight. She starts moving her hips back and forth swinging her legs trying to rock herself. The moment I start rocking the dog she just beams and babbles with excitement. She is so funny. Last night Addie had another enjoyable ride on Moose, it was so darn cute Justin had to run and get the camera. This girls is a dog lover.

Addie's hair looks so pretty!
I just loved your post about your special time rocking with Addie and watching her fall asleep. I've had the exact feeling myself. There is nothing better than being a mama!
