Lots of laughs

London has begun laughing so much. This video was in Utah over Thanksgiving. My dad had her laughing so good.



This video was at our home and Dave had her going. It is rare she will keep laughing once she sees the camera but she did these two times!

Updates

Lots of new updates....yummy food for us and London, and a Christmas party.

Also....snack time and London meets Santa.

Coming soon...lots of laughs!

So make sure you keep reading and comment and stay tuned!

Bass Pro Shop, Santa, and Aquarium

Last night we took London to see Santa at the Bass Pro Shop.

They do FREE Santa pictures, you can't beat that!

London actually cried when we handed her over to Santa, (which I would have never thought she would do, she is so mild), but she quickly calmed down and we snapped a cute picture. The Elves also take a picture and give it took you in a little paper frame!

We were with some of our friends, Riley and Diana and their two boys-Blake and Chase. We went to see the aquarium afterwards right next to the Bass Pro shop in the Silverton. It was really cool! London liked it, but you couldn't tear Blake or Chase away from, they loved it!

All in all we had a very fun night!

Snacks anyone?

So do you ever feel like you don't have any snacks in the house? Well I have felt like that many times. However, we recently organized all of our snack food into a shoe rack that hangs on our pantry door (thanks to Diana) and now Daves says I can no longer complain about not being able to find a snack!

Apartment Complex Christmas Party

Only captured one picture...however we did win a $25 Visa giftcard. I wanted to take London down and see what she thought of Santa...however there were too many kids to even get close. We did enjoy some hot chocolate and everyone there was attacking London because they thought she was so cute. Stay tuned though because we did take London to see Santa elsewhere.

Rice Cereal

I have recently started feeding London rice cereal. She absolutely loves it! She thinks she is miss independent and wants to feed herself, but she seems to make more of a mess! LOL.

The pictures say it all.

Pot Roast

A few weeks ago Dave and I finally made our first Sunday Roast. Can you believe that? After 5 years of being married we had never done a roast. It turned out amazing though...(thanks for the tips Mike!)

Halloween

We were in Utah for Halloween this year. Dave's little brother got married. So we took London to the trunk or treat at my parent's church and then we took London around to a bunch of family members house so they could see how cute she looked. We didn't do much but spending time with family is what matters most to me so we had a good time. Check out our cute little lamb!

So Big and New thing

London is getting so big!! And she has such a personality, had to share some of her fun faces! We caught London on video doing her "new thing"! It is so much fun to watch her learn new things, she is so smart!

3 months old

I cannot believe it! Where does the time go? It apparently goes way too fast because I missed a two month old post. We love you so much London and you are so much fun!! Here are some of the fun things we love!
-You are such a big smiler!! You have just recently started to giggle at 12 wks!
-You love the fan
-You like watching the elliptical, you get mad when it stops
-You are an awesome sleeper!! You sleep 12 hours each night (8-8), you started this when you were 9 wks old!
-You are a good little eater and still nurse. Daddy feeds you pumped milk when Mommy is at work.
-You love to suck on your hands.
-You are a good little coo talker
-You love having visitors (hint hint)
-You like to go on walks in your stroller
-You are a very content baby and like to play on your blanket on the floor
-You are very much a TV baby (maybe not the best thing, but at least I know that can keep you entertained if I need to do something)
-You went to Disneyland when you were 8-1/2 wks and did really well!
-You still have lots of hair and it has only lightened a little
-You have rolled from your back to your stomach 2 times
We love you so much London!! Enjoy this slide show of pictures of our pride and joy!

Disneyland Sept 2010

We went to Disneyland with Dave's family at the end of September. London was only 8-1/2 wks....am I crazy or what? It was really fun though and London did really well. We are going again in a few weeks with my family. Here are some of the pics.(And yes I made us matching mickey/minnie T-shirts as a family...we are lame but it was fun!)

How cute is she?

Absolutely ADORABLE!!!

Projects

Dave got me a sewing machine for Christmas and I have just barely begun using it. I have been wanting to make London some cute appliqued onesies and some baby legs. I finally succeeded. I made five different onesies: Mickey Mouse, Pear, Flower, Bird, and the letter L. We are going to Disneyland in a week with Dave's family and then in November with my fam so I really wanted to make her a Mickey Mouse shirt. I really love how it turned out. Also I wanted some baby legs to wear with the onesies to kind of make the outfit cuter and keep her legs warm since she doesn't really fit into pants...shes just too little! Lots of people think she looks like a little jazzerciser in them but I like it. I will post some pics of her in the outfits soon but until then, here are the projects laid out.

London's baby blessing

We traveled to Utah over Labor Day weekend to see family and friends and to bless London. It was such a special day. Dave gave a beautiful blessing and London looked absolutely beautiful. We got a few pictures with London but I wish I would have gotten some with just her. London happened to poop all over her blessing dress right after sacrament meeting (she had a blow out stage of life) so we snapped a few pictures and then changed her.

We had so many people that came to support London on her big day and we are grateful to everyone that came. Once again I wish I would have taken more pictures of everyone and the luncheon...what was I thinking? Oh well. After the blessing we headed across the street to a pavillion for a luncheon.

Also Labor day weekend is pretty big in my home town, so we were able to spend time with family, go to the parade, have a yummy boil, and enjoy our time. Here are the pictures we did happen to get of the blessing.

One Month....Time flies!!

I cannot believe London is a month old already!! She is so much fun. We have been trying to adjust to the lack of sleep but wouldn't ask for anything else! Just wanted to share a few facts and things about Miss London that I love at one month old.
