19 months! already???

whoa is all i have to say. it's been a rather long time since i posted last. it's unbeleiveable how much sadie changes even from week to week. just when i think she's got one thing mastered she picks up a new one, like the dog poop outside today when i was putting laundry on the clothesline. i certainly never thought i would have to tell her to put down poop, but then again i'm not always thinking like a 19 month old eh? i did some counting yesterday and sadie knows over 55 words! that doesn't include commands she understands and noises she makes. just this morning i was "attempting" to make a breakfast from a very sparse kitchen. i got out some cheese slices and she exclaimed "cheese!" i had never heard her say that before. yesterday it was icky. sadie spent a long time putting on and taking off a pair of my mom's sandals. i had no idea that would keep her as busy as it did but she loved every minute of it. she still loves to push things around like a broom, her little vacuum, carts, the stroller.

one really funny thing that happened on saturday at mass was when poeple were coming back from communion she was yelling hi at everyone as they walked by her. you could see some people were amused and smiling while others were trying to keep a praying. oh the joys of bringing a 19 month old to church. sadie loves to say hi and bye to EVERYONE, including cars and peoople she has just met. at the fireworks on saturday night she was trying to get this woman's attention down the hill from us yelling hi and waving at her until the woman looked up and waved back. only then is she satisfied.

we also think that sadie will be a very good big sister. she loves to point out babies to us (and buses, and cars but that's beside the point right now). in fact on thursday night we saw a 3 month old baby while we were watching daddy's softball game. sadie could not give the baby enough kissies. and when the baby started crying sadie got VERY concerned and had a worried look on her face. i think she even recognized the bottle and surprisingingly didn't say "mine" as she normally does. if you are sitting in a chair she wants, playing with a toy she's interested in, or even holding something she thinks should be hers she will whine and let you know that she's the boss (for now, once that baby comes everything will change :)
