Our first baby

I wanted to give our cat, Oreo, some blog time because I figure once Charlotte makes her arrival it is all over for him! We got Oreo in January 2004. He was about 9 weeks old at the time and weighed 3 lbs. He was just the cutest thing we had ever seen! I always thought that people who referred to their pets as their children were a bit on the crazy side, but as soon as we got him, that is what happened. We started to refer to each other as "mommy and daddy" when we were talking in reference to Oreo. We have had hours of entertainment proved by this cute kitty. On a daily basis he makes us laugh and we are constantly fascinated by the adorable things he does. The fact that I can still think it is cute when he bathes himself is beyond me! And, I hate leaving him alone for more than a day or two because I worry he will get lonely. Clearly, I love our little Oreo very much. So, with as much as I love our cat, I cannot even begin to comprehend how much I am going to love our daughter! Here's to you Oreo! Thanks for being such a great cat!

The night we got Oreo He is so tiny!
Oreo is about 5 months old here. There is no way he can lay on me like this anymore!
This has always been one of our favorite pictures of Oreo. In fact, it has been our wallpaper on our computer for years!
He is 1-year-old here.
Here he is when he was 2-years-old and crawling around getting into trouble!
He loves laying on top of things. Here he is on Mark's school bag.
Here he is this past October. He is 3-years-old.Here he is just a week ago in March 2010. He is laying on my purse because he loves laying on things!
In this picture, Oreo was only a few months old. Sleeping in his daddy's lap is still one of his favorite things to do. He used to love my lap too, but as he got bigger my lap became too small for him!

I hope Oreo takes having a new baby in the house better than our dogs did! They pouted and moped around for a bit, but they quickly got over it and are now very protective of little Jameston. I'm sure he'll love Charlotte, even if that means a little less attention for him :) Fun pictures...the one of him in the pantry is great!
