Londyn is growing! She had her 4 month check-up and is doing great! Here are her stats compared to when she was born.

Weight: 13lbs 9oz (41%) compared to 6 lbs 13 oz

Height: 25 1/2 in (86%) compared to 19 in

We know she won't be this tall for long. But hey, her short mom can dream, right? :o) I've decided that Londyn is quite the serious baby. She babbles & giggles, but mostly she just sits all content and observes. What is she plotting? I'm not sure. She is getting to be a mama's girl. She doesn't cry for me necessarily, but she watches me like a hawk when someone, even Tagg, is holding her. She is still my little cuddle bug and loves to nap with me. Oh, it was my birthday on Jan 18th and Tagg invited a friend and his girlfriend to go to Iggy's with us. We only had to wait for 20 min for a table, but once we sat down and ordered, we waited over an hour for our food. Needless to say, we were all ready to leave. We got back to our house and Ashley (Matt's girlfriend) had made me a cake that Tagg had told her was my favorite, so I was so excited! Thanks Ashley, that was super nice of you! Anyway, I had a really great birthday. January officially goes down as my clumsy month! This past weekend, Londyn and I went to Utah and I was going down my sister's stairs, with Londyn, and I totally missed or slipped on a step and fell right on my bum! OUCH! I had twisted to my right side to try and save Londyn from hitting her head on the wall and hit my shoulder and back on the stair. And her knees jabbed me in the ribs. I have some pretty fun bruises and could barely walk without something hurting. :o) It knocked the wind outta me too. Sheesh. I fell at church about 3 weeks ago, too - talk about not knowing how to walk! This is a funny story though. Jamie, my sister, gave me some cute church shoes that are the same height all the way around the shoe. Heels are killing me with a baby. Anyway, I tried them on and they seemed to fit great. They don't have a back on them, just a thick strap that slips around your arch and top of your foot. So, I wore them to church. Well, it wasn't long and I started slipping all over the place. After the third time, I looked to see what size they were cuz they weren't staying on too well. Yeah...size 8!! I wear a 6 - 6 1/2. I tried to drag my feet the rest of the time and go slow, but as I was walking into Relief Society, 10 minutes late cuz I was feeding Londyn, I totally slipped right outta the right shoe and Londyn and I tumbled to the ground. Luckily, I hit my elbow and saved Londy's head. I had a huge floor burn on my knee, that bled, and a nice one on my elbow. Gosh, I'm so graceful - just wanted to make a grand entrance I guess. I sure hope I stay upright in February.

Londyn's Laughing!

Londyn started laughing on Jan. 5th and wow - talk about melting your heart! Tagg is probably going to kill me for putting these on here...but who cares, right?

I'm not sure what is cuter, hearing Londy Lou laughing or watching what Tagg does to make her laugh. Ahh, the things parents will do. :o)

Catching up

Yes, I know...I've been M.I.A. for awhile. :o) We had a great Christmas and New Year's. We did a Chistmas Play at Jan & Jerry's. It was so cute - GREAT JOB, LATAUN!!
We celebrated Christmas with the Williams on Dec 22nd, a little earlier than usual, but still fun, fun, fun! It's a tradition that the adults do a white elephant gift every year before we open gifts. This year for my white elephant, we had my niece Haddi be our gift. When we told her what she had to do, she was all in! We told her she may be in there for awhile, but we'd try and get her picked quickly. So, with little convincing, Jerry was first up and chose our "gift". We did have a real present so it wasn't just Haddi. I think the best is watching Haddi's mom, Lataun's reaction! She is sitting in the left corner by the tree. Pretty funny!



We decided to go to Driggs for Christmas Eve. Penny & Eric were supposed to be there, but Pen got the flu, and then they got snowed in at Jan's in Hamer. We felt so bad that they drove down from Portland and ended up spending Christmas by themselves. Anyway, we had tons of fun playing Rock Band, eating Beer Battered Shrimp, Chicken, and Veggies, and just hanging out.


Take it away, Tagg!

Merry Christmas!

Isn't that the cutest picture of Londyn? We love it! And just so you know - it really is a real tea cup. It was NOT photoshopped. :o) The cup is more the size of a mixing bowl - so cute! We hope everyone has a safe and happy holidays!

Growing, growing, growing

This was Londyn's first time in her bumbo. Don't let this picture fool you though, she totally loves it! She was so content just sitting there watching me as I was making dinner. It's probably nice being able to see the world from sitting up rather than laying down. Plus, she likes to be where she can see me, so this worked out great!

Londyn has found a new comfort thing. Her right hand goes to her mouth and she sucks on the knuckle of her pointer finger. Then her left hand goes directly to her hair! It's so cute. I wonder if she'd suck on her thumb if she didn't always tuck it under her fingers. Anyway, Tagg and I were getting ready to go to his ball game and he went to put her in the car seat and this is what he found. Londyn wasn't even screaming, she was just kinda grunting like she does when her binky falls out. :o) We thought it was pretty funny that she had pulled her bow over her mouth. The next day she pulled it down again, but it was just covering her eyes. I sensed her bows wouldn't be staying in her hair when she was grabbing her hair at a couple of weeks! Dang kid...leave the bows alone. :o)

I have totally loved Londy Lou's smile, coos, and grunts. She cracks us up all of the time and she is only 2 1/2 months old!! Londyn had her two month check-up today - yep...shots! She was supposed to get it done the week of Thanksgiving, but I just couldn't do it to her then! And this last week we were babysitting my cousin Troy's girls. So I didn't want to do it then cuz I knew I wouldn't be able to snuggle her all day. So...today was the day. She has been doing pretty good. She definately is hurting, but I've been trying to stay on top of it with the Tylenol. Luckily my friend April suggested to start giving her the Tylenol about 30 minutes before going to the doctor. I totally think that was our saving grace. After her appt. we had to go get my blood drawn to test my thyroid levels and Londyn was smiling and talking to the nurses and that was an hour after her shots. She was still smiling till about 3:30 and then she started crying. It was killing me to see her in pain and that she had to wait another hour before I could give her more Tylenol. Poor babygirl!

Londyn's stats at birth:

Weight: 6 lbs 13 oz (14% for her age)

Height: 19 in (24%)

Here are Londyn's stats at 2 months and 2 weeks old.

Weight: 11 lbs 6 oz (49%)

Height: 23 1/4 in (64%) Wow this will probably be the only time she's above avg for her height :o)

Happy Birthday Tagg!

It was Tagg's birthday last Sunday. He got a dirt bike, it's a 2002 Yamaha YZF 250. He went riding the day before Thanksgiving with his family and they froze! So, I think he is really looking forward to this spring when it's warmer. I'm excited too so I can take Londyn on the four-wheeler and we can all go. I'll have to take some pic's of his bike, he's pretty excited about it. He had gone riding with his brother Lex just around Hamer in the creek beds. Well, they weren't having too much fun so they decided to ride out of it and head back to their parent's house. Tagg ended up having to bail off the bike and broke off the rear fender. So, he got new fenders for his birthday and the bike looks as good as new. :o) Now just for a little mushy part...I just want Tagg to know how much I love him and appreciate all that he does. I'm so grateful that he works hard so that I can stay at home with our sweet baby! He is such a great husband and father, I am truly blessed!! I absolutely love seeing him with Londyn. There is such a special bond between a daddy and his daughter. Doesn't this picture just melt your heart? I couldn't love them more!!

Oh, and people have been telling me that I should include my side of what happened at Londyn's blessing. I finally did so just go to her blessing post and it's under the second picture. :o) Good times.
