Can you believe she is big enough to be doing this...

Wow. I can't. Time sure is passing quickly.

Bip and her Babe.

My mom is launching and etsy shop called Bips Babes. She came over this past friday to try on some of her creations on London. Here are a couple of pictures from our "photo shoot"

SMILE Dylan!

As much as he hates it, Dylan is so sweet and lets his crazy, picture taking Momma snap pictures of him *just because*.

The is what happens when you keep telling him to smile for too long.


Haha! My boy is such a good sport. And handsome too, huh!?

Escaped!

London thought she would try to escape

She did not get very far. :)

Sword Fights and Soccer with Memom and Daddy

Memom and Umpa stopped by our house on the way home from Uncle Lee's this past Thursday. We really enjoyed them being here, as always. Memom, Daniel, and Dylan had some big fun in the back yard!

Memom and Dylan had a sword fight that ended like this:

Then, Daddy joined in for soccer:

They even paused for me to snap a picture (or two or five)

London and I enjoyed some fresh fruit while watching from sidelines

She said "Gim'me!"

Now she is happy.

REALLY happy

Easy Like Sunday Mornin'!

We took it easy this past weekend and mainly just hung out around the house. But we did make it to the donut shop and the park! One of our favorite things to do on nice weather days is to go grab breakfast (Dylan LOVES when we get donuts) and head to the park. Recently, London is really enjoying the park as well. She loves, loves, loves the swings. She is always reaching down to get out of my arms. No way, Little Missy! Not yet. Mr. Dylan just loves running around like a crazy kid and climbing on everything like a monkey. :) I love that kid!

Yummy Watermellon

Whats summer without a juicy watermelon!
Thanks to our sweet Grammy, we had HUGE Smith County watermelon to dive into yesterday.
If you are from Mississippi, you know that watermelons don't come any better.

Bedtime Whoas

Miss London enjoys pulling herself up on everything she can these days. Everything, including her crib. Sadly, her crib is currently set on the highest notch because until now, that was what was best. Just bump it down a notch you say? SURE! As soon as Daniel gets to home depot to get whatever tool it was that he said he doesn't have to lower the bed. (Hopefully tomorrow)

Until the, here are her new digs (aka place to sleep)

Daddy did made it extra cushy though and she doesn't seem to mind.

*Sigh* They grow up so fast...

London is 9 months old!

Honestly, I can not BELIEVE that my little baby is already 9 months old. It doesn't seem quite fair to me that the nine months that she was in my belly crept by slower than a snail, and the nine months since my sweet girl was born have flown by at the speed of lightning. Ugh. Its bitter sweet.

Here are some of the new things London did this past month:

*SHE IS CRAWLING!!!!

*She is eating mostly small table foods.

*She has mastered the straw cup

* She has started improving on the sippy cup (she still isn't a huge fan)

*She crawls to you when you say "Come see me"

*She walks while holding your hands.

*LOVES to stand and does it really well as long as she has something to hold on to.

*Gives kisses

*She is blowing lots of "raspberries" these days (she has done this in the past, its just a new favorite this past month)

*She grabs objects and moves them from hand to hand or hand to mouth very swiftly.

*She has started recognizing patterns of events. For example, if you tickle her, stop, and then start to tickle again, she will laugh BEFORE you tickle her the second time because she knows its coming.

*"MaMa" is being used more often this past month

*If you :hide" an object while she is looking, she will uncover it. This is a fun game for us.

Our little princess is growing up quickly. She brings so much joy to our family!
