Sandy at 8 Months Old

Sandy is about the same weight as he was last month, but he just get smarter and smarter. Smarter than us, we're afraid. Every day when we go walking, he has to run upstairs to get David's socks & shoes. At first he was carrying down the socks, but now he's decided it's more fun to carry one of the shoes. Then he traipses downstairs with it--you don't want to be in front of him---he'll run over you. He takes it over to David. Then you can tell him to get the other shoe and he'll retrieve it from wherever you have it and take it to David to put on. We walk a mile almost every night. We took him to a "forest" park here in Rowlett to walk last over the weekend. He got to be lose and he was in hog heaven with all the new smells and trees.
