I can’t believe it’s been almost a year that Indio has been in our lives! We adopted Indio from Forevergreen Farm Labradoodles when he was 2 months old. He was my dream puppy and has made me the happiest dog mom (besides a little naughtiness ;P). I wanted to celebrate his first birthday by sharing some photos of him throughout the year. It’s crazy to see how much hew grew every month!

Two Months Old

During Indio’s first month with us, we stayed home quite a bit! We spent this time potty training, getting shots at the vet, cuddling, and getting to know his new home. Indio learned how to go potty outside super quickly!

Three Months Old

At 3 months old, Indio went on his first trip to the beach! Indio was scared of the wind and waves. We also started basic training this month! Indio is very smart and learned how to do lots of tricks quickly.

Four Months Old

Indio started growing really quickly at 4 months old! He started eating a ton more and sleeping lots too. This was a sad time for mom because she didn’t want her puppy to grow up quite yet ;P Indio’s favorite thing in the world is treats! He will do anything for a treat. We also learned that his favorite toy’s are squeaky toys.

Five Months Old

At 5 months old, Indio’s personality really started to develop! He went from being very mellow to very sassy like mom. We upgraded to a harness to make walks easier! Indio loved going on walks in pretty Portland neighborhoods. Indio also got his first hair cut at 5 months!

Six Months Old

Seven Months Old

Another trip to the beach! He loved running around and digging holes in the sand. Mommy went to work in Europe this month so Indio stayed with his uncle for a few weeks.

Eight Months Old

Indio kept growing like a weed! He really started looking like a teenage puppy at 8 months old. It was also Indio’s first time experiencing fall and leaves! He liked the leaves except for when they were wet from Portland rain. Indio doesn’t like the rain one bit!

Nine Months Old

At 9 months old, Indio’s was experiencing his first Christmas season! Mom decided to take a break from work and spend lots of time with her pup for the holidays.

Indio’s first New Year’s Eve! This is the longest Indio’s hair has ever been. Mom likes it this way best 😉

Eleven Months Old

At 10 months old, we moved to Nashville, TN. Mommy and Daddy were really busy packing and unpacking for during the move. We all braved the 45 hour drive across the country! Indio loves his bigger apartment, especially the French doors where he likes to people watch! He got a much shorter hair cut this month.
