Craziness!!

The past two days have been extremely crazy around the Lovins house.  Troy left for Qatar for 6 days, so my fantastic mom is staying with me to help with Sadie and the puppy.  There is no way I could watch both by myself.  Friday my dad was admitted to the ER because he was sick and dizzy.  His blood pressure was extremely low.  They kept him overnight and discovered that he has an ulcer.  Luckily they can think they can treat it with medicine.  Hopefully he can come home soon too!
Saturday we got Sadie's 18 month pictures taken.  She did "okay."  She didn't really want to stand still and pose or smile.  Finally, the fabulous Wendy got out the bubbles and we got lots of smiles.  I can't wait to see the pictures. 

Later Louie, Sadie, Mom and I spent some time outside playing since the weather wasn't too shabby.  Here are a few pictures!

 Later that night I tried to manage both Sadie and Louie on my lap at once. Talk about two squirmy animals!

After realizing two on my lap wasn't going to happen, I finally decided to give Louie a tiny bit of a dog bone to entertain him. Sadie kept saying "bone"...it was cute. Then she got up, pointed to her high chair and said "eat." She hadn't eaten much for dinner, so I figured she was hungry. I got her up in her chair and said "what do you want to eat" and she said "bone!"  I was like, uh, honey, those are only for Louie.... how about strawberries, those are good too :) Love that kid! 

Sunday Sadie turns 18 months old! I can't believe how big she is getting.  And her vocabulary is exploding. I can't even keep track of how many words she has. She pretty much just repeats everything you say.  A few of my favorites are "Hey Ya'll," "Cheerio," and "Louie" (which sounds like ooo-ee).  I was telling Louie the other night to "get down" (he was trying to jump into the dishwasher). He kept persisting and so I said "Louie, what did I say?" and Sadie says "Down!"  Hey, at least someone was listening to me!
