Let's review the wonders of Louzie:
1. super-cuddly
2. super-warm
3. smells like Fritos when she's been sleeping (sounds weird, but there's something lovely and comforting about it. No doggie smell here, just Fritos.)
4. thinks she's a human
5. likes to spoon (not kidding. Last week, we were laying in bed, getting ready to fall asleep with just a Louzie-sized gap between us. She took advantage and flopped down on her side, with her little hips curved around mine, her face against the top of my back, and one arm thrown over my side. Tell me that's not the cutest thing you've ever heard. She only moved when Caleb got tired of being the outside spoon and rolled over.)
6. spontaneously runs laps around the yard (which is terribly amusing to watch)
7. thinks she's a lapdog, and will sit on you despite weighing nearly 40 lbs.
8. gives you a high-five when you say "Go, Cubs!"
9. lets me use her as a pillow
10. sighs dramatically exactly like I do, and oftentimes immediately after I do
There are so many other wonderful things about Louzie—too many to count in fact. I only hope TK can live up to his/her big sister. Of course there are some inevitable downsides to TK. I mean, I won't be able to leave TK home all day alone—at least not without being arrested. TK won't head out through the doggie door to use the bathroom. I will instead be expected to change diapers. TK won't jump with joy when I open a fresh bag of kibble and be happy to eat the same dry food out of a bowl on the floor everyday. Boy, I had something good going with Louzie ...
In honor of TK, here's a baby photo of Louzie to enjoy. (Thanks, Mom and Dad for that ridiculous shirt Caleb is wearing.)
Um, Abba, I hate to tell you this but if TK IS a boy, he's almost CERTAIN to go out the doggy door to pee outside. Or escape. My brother used to do both when he was little.
See? More stuff you didn't know, right?! lol
Abba, I'm so glad you wrote this entry! Sometimes I feel silly for how much Andy and I love Chloe. But you DO understand! Louzie is such a cutie pie and I'm sure she'll be even cuter when she becomes a big sister. ;)
Awwwww! That's some pretty big shoes to fill!
Abba! I just found your blog, and will be an avid follower now!
Funny because I just started my own two days ago, and my post today was about having babies:

I was so excited to see Louzie, and the line about her smelling like Fritos at night made me lol because I remember that it was so true!
