London | 7 Months

FAVORITE THINGS

She adores her puppy - and he adores her! He lays on my lap every morning when I feed her, he is always laying next to her on the floor and when she steals his toys from the basket he waits patiently for her to drop it, steals it and runs! Too fun! She loves to roll around and chase her toys, scoot all the way across the living room, steal Luke's toys from him and try to eat everything she can wrap her little fingers around.

She's gaining weight - hooray! Her little cheeks are getting chunkier and her diapers are getting snug around that tiny belly. She LOVES to eat! I make homemade puree's and don't skimp on any delicious, nutritious foods. She's had it all and loves it all! Her favorite is quinoa, cherry, apple blend, avocados and sweet potato! She also loves puff's -what baby doesn't? She loves swimming at GiGi's, playing with her Aunt Maci and Uncle Byron and GiGi, and shopping! She's the best shopping companion because she LOVES that Tula! She is seriously a happy, happy, joyful and loving baby girl and we are so blessed!

LEAST FAVORITE THINGS

Being wiped up after eating all her delicious food.

When she's over-tired or over-hungry.

When Lennon takes a toy from her! 

Happy 4th Birthday Lennon!

Happy Birthday, gorgeous girl!

4 years ago... 4. I can't believe that 4 years ago my life changed forever. I was lying in a hospital bed at 4:19am 4 years ago holding the baby girl that would soon change my life forever, become my very best friend, my heart - soul & world. Everyone told me that becoming a mother would change me, that becoming a mom would make me feel a love like I had never felt before, cry happier tears than I have ever cried, laugh at poop, cry at the thought of leaving her alone over night, and make me love like never before. It did.  

I am the happiest mother in the world,

all because of this little girl. 

Lennon's Princess Party was an amazing success filled with lots of her favorite toys, her favorite bounce house, and all of her favorite people. She got everything she could have ever wanted (except for a trampoline - maybe next year! haha) and she enjoyed all of the fun, laughs and playing in the rain with her cousins. The look on her face when she opened her favorite gifts was pure joy and excitement. 

Thank you to everyone that came and made her birthday awesome!

This morning we woke up to a house filled with pink balloons she could barely walk through the hallway, we made pancakes topped with pink frosting and sprinkles and she's now dancing around in a tutu, singing "Happy Birthdayyyy to meee... I am 4...." She is the happiest girl alive and we are so blessed to call her ours.

Happy Birthday, Lennon Danielle!
