At 12 weeks

You have:

shredded paper towel all over the kitchen floor,

chewed a hole in a sock,

swallowed my biscuit - whole,

gobbled down a sausage when no one was looking,

taken a bite from my sandwich,

pulled the stuffing out from your bedding,

gnawed at the bottom of trousers,

nibbled cables and nipped at ankles.

You have:

brought out a smile when you

ran through the autumn leaves,

made us laugh as you tripped over 
your oversized feet,
let us dress you in a
cute Christmas jumper,

and stole our hearts

when you fell asleep on our laps.

We couldn't love you more.
