Here's the Update

London had her 4 month check up last week and here are the results:
Weight: 14.4 lbs  60 %
Height:  24 inch  50%

London has learned a lot of new things this past month. She is not as cuddly now as she is becoming more active. She is getting stronger and can now roll over from her back to stomach. She can't seem to figure out how to roll over to her back again so she gets frustrated easily. She can scoot backwards She loves to babble and does so very loudly. Seriously she squeals like an eagle. We can't seem to sit through church or anything for that matter without taking her out multiple times. She is very smiley especially in the mornings when you take her out of bed. She loves to smile at herself in the mirror. She laughed for the first time for us while we were shopping for toys and has done it a couple times since. She is getting better coordination with grabbing her toys. She is glued to the TV when it is on. London used to sleep through the night for us but for the last month or so she wakes up multiple times a night. She went a week without going #2 and now does so daily if not twice a day. (Sorry, I want to remember this stuff). She doesn't like to work for her food. She will get upset at you if you try to face her toward you, she loves to look around and know what's going on. She has found her feet and loves to put anything and everything in her mouth. Besides attempting to put both fists in all the time she loves to suck on both thumbs at the same time. I can't believe how fast she is growing up and how much she has learned so far. 

On another note, here are a few things that we have done over the last month. We hiked Timp, ran the Little Grand Canyon 10k/half marathon, and took a little trip to the lake.

Stefenee and I ran the 10k together while Brent and Tyler conquered the half marathon. None of us did any training before. (Yea, not too smart). Note: I don't post this because I am awesome or anything at exercising, on the contrary, if you know me you know I haven't done much exercise for a long long time. In fact, running the 10k was probably the hardest thing I've done in a long time. Yes, to some of you 6 miles is not a big deal at all but I struggled the whole way. My goal was to just run the whole time and so I did - with 60 year olds running past me. Ha, it was really fun and pretty though. Tyler came in 28th out of 161. Here are some pictures of our adventure:
We woke up at 3:30 to drive down to Huntington and it was freezing!

We decided we needed a little get away before school started so we headed to Vegas. We spent one of the days playing at Lake Mead, did some shopping, ate yummy food, saw the strip, the famous pawn shop and saw the Las Vegas temple. Sadly these are the only pictures I have of the trip

4 Months

London is 4 months old! She has a doctors apt on Tuesday so we'll update you then. I figured I better get some smiles out of this girl before she gets her shots. Happy Birthday!
