Obsession #2

My Baby Boy!

Before I go any further... I should probably clarify... :P These are healthy obsessions and by obsessions I more mean people/things I love or love doing. Hence, I love my baby boy - Milo. :)

Technically you could say that I was his midwife. :P I helped his Mummy give birth to him and persuaded my parents to let me keep him. About a week ago, he had his 5th birthday, and we spoilt him rotten!! :D In the last 5 years, Milo has been my best friend. That's mostly due to the fact that there's no one my age (apart from my siblings - my sister is one of my best friends :P ) who lives up here... Milo and I have gotten up to some of the most exciting, outrageous, fun and enjoyable things!

We go for random bush walks out the back of our place, often down to the creek. Generally I wear shorts, tank tops and bare feet, with my hair in a mess and we kinda go slightly crazy just running around here, there and everywhere through the snake and spider infested grass.. :P Ok so maybe the bush isn't quite that infested with creatures.... ;)

Sometimes we go swimming... And him being the sook he is, often refuses to get in unless I carry him around... :P On that sooky note...... :O He's such a softie, that generally even people who dislike dogs can't help but like Milo... Especially when they're trying to ignore him, but he walks up and offers his paw, or lays his head on their lap and stares up at them with his gorgeous brown eyes! :D

He absolutely LOVES squashing me whenever he possibly can, so we'll often fall asleep in the randomest places or just spend some quality time together. :P I guess it's cute, but it's slightly annoying, cause I can't get some peace without being half-squashed and if I tell him 'no' he makes me feel sooo guilty.... :O :P

 He's got such a personality and HATES getting out of bed on cold/wet/windy mornings! Just like us... :)

Just being honest.. :P He adores me.. And I love him to bits. Apart from the fact that he has a tendency to try to lick my nose......

He's generally such a good boy - always putting up with my random photoshoots of him and me... Secretly I think he loves it, but you know... He tries to be totally casual about it... ;)

Basically... Milo has given me a physical glimpse of God's unconditional love for me. Normally when I mess up or get mad at Milo (not really mad, but you know.. a little) or something else, Milo still comes back to me with a smiling face (he really does smile!) and disgusting sloppy licks... :P So maybe it's not the best example, but like... It's shown me that no matter how much I mess up, God will always welcome me back with open arms... Cause he loves me. :)

Well I'll leave y'all in peace for now... ;) Keep smiling! :D
