The Height of Vacuum Cleaner Hairstyles...Or Daddy Strikes Again

This is what your hair looked like when I came home after work today.  Daddy was vacuuming the couches...and your hair.  You didn't seem too upset and it was too darn cute to pass up a photo!

 

Just Plain Worn Out

I had a meeting this evening at a local coffee shop so you stayed home with your Dad.  This is what I came home to.  The two of you played hard and you collapsed on the floor, completely worn out!  Too cute of a pose to pass up on the photo op.

Just Add Clothing Model to the List!

A few weeks ago we went to dinner at our friends Don and Steph's house.  Steph has a granddaughter that lives back east that is a little older than you but probably around your size.  Steph doesn't know for sure because her daughter won't send the granddaughter's measurements.  

Anyway, Steph made an adorable little dress for her granddaughter and asked to use you as a model so she would know how long to hem it.  

All the guys in the room were a bit embarrassed for you.  You, on the other hand, didn't really seem to mind.  In fact, I think you were just fine with all of the attention.  

It's not like we made you wear it all night.  But, I'm sorry, I had to have pictures for history.  Love you little guy!  Steph sent me the pictures this week; that's why it has taken me a bit to get them up.

Your Dad's Birth Day!

Great-grandma Lougee shared her thoughts on your Dad's birth day in her family email on Sunday.  Lucky for us, your birth day was not nearly that exciting! 

This week is Andy’s birthday – how well I remember when he was born. I had my first commercial air plane ride; my first experience driving in Wyoming winter; it was scary waiting for his birth because of the condition that Bonnie was in. She had placenta privy and we had to wait for her to start bleeding again. We were told that she could bleed to death within 20 minutes. It would take that long or longer to get to the hospital in Rock Springs. And then when she started bleeding, Loren picked her up in his arms and started running out to the car; the steps were ice covered and so was the roads. I was so afraid that he would slip and fall with her but the Lord was with them and he got her to the hospital. They had to take the baby by caesarian birth but because she was hemorrhaging they wanted to wait until they could get some of her type of blood for a transfusion. She is O negative and they didn’t have any of that in the state. I don’t know where they got some from. But the Lord blessed us again and she and baby Andy came through it okay. So when Andy’s birthday comes around, I always feel gratitude for his life and the blessings we received at his birth. Happy Birthday, Andy!

Eighteen Month Check-up

Today was your eighteen month check-up.  I can't believe you are already a year and a half old!  Kim said you are just about perfect.  Your father and I already knew that though.  Your stats are as follows: 26.4 lbs (75 percentile) and 33.5" long (85 percentile).
