lola :)

 Lola got a haircut... and of course this is big news!

Since it's getting warmer out and she was a ball of fur, I figured we should give her a 'summer cut'. It's funny how much she changes as she grows! Sunday (May 22) is her 1st birthday.... and yes, we will be having a celebration! (birthday cake & ice cream included) She even got a pretty new birthday outfit. (I will take pictures).

I was going through my phone looking at the pictures of her over the last year and it definitely makes me want to do it all over again.  I didn't grow up with animals and was hesitant with taking on the responsibility of a pup, but I am beyond thrilled that I made the decision. She has been the best decision and I can't even explain how much I adore her! 

So, in honor of Lola's big 1st birthday I thought I'd share some of my favorite pictures! :) 

1st picture... bringing Lola home!

soo tiny! she's the same size as the console table leg.

Yes.

I did post 30+ pictures of Lola.

I may be sliiiightly obsessed with her ;) But I had a difficult time narrowing it down to just these pictures. hah! (and it's completely okay to upload this many pictures of my adorable pup! and I'm pretty sure I had to edit the captions, I find myself giving lola a voice. {you know, having a conversation with her} Please tell me other people do this too????) :) 

I seriously love her more than you can imagine. (she is what holds over my baby fever, lol)

My poor future children. :)
