cope's paws


my best buddy cope has recently discovered his hands and feet. well.. more like his arms and legs because the fine motor control isn't quite there yet, but needless to say we find it entertaining. for those of you who haven't spent a lot of time admiring cope in person, he has paws in place of hands. if you have ever seen a puppy version of something that is going to turn into a giant bodied dog like a rotweiler or a bulldog, you know what i'm talking about. their paws seem disproportionate to the rest of their body. if you have ever seen steve's hands or his dad's or grandaddy's hands, you also know what i'm talking about. they are wider than they are long. when we first brought him home i really wasn't sure that there wound't be a time when i would count them and there would be 6 fingers there and that i must have just missed the 6th one all the other times i counted.
to this day every time i focus in on his hands i count his fingers because they are so wide i would swear that there are 6 fingers poking off of them instead of 5. after counting them at least a thousand times you would think i'd be convinced, but for some reason i still count them. don't worry.. still 5.

Love your new videos! Those little sounds you're making are just precious! I would love just one little bite of those sweet paws. Looks like you are getting used to your bunny slippers. They are so cute on you. You are always such a busy little guy! Can't believe how fast you are growing. Nana has watched your videos dozens of times today. I've even been kissing the screen again, but I always look around and make sure that no one is looking so they won't have your poor Nana committed.
