Happy 3rd Birthday Londy Lou!

Our little London turned 3 last week. Every day she asked if it was her birthday and she wanted to turn 4 like her sister Tayler but we convinced her being 3 was really fun. Aunt Lala came for a visit for Aunt Punkin's baby shower and Londy Lou was lucky enough to have her here for her bday. I went in to wake her up and whispered Happy Birthday in her ear and her eyes popped right open. We had a fun bday surprise for her, a cute little baby rabbit. She first named her rabbi and later changed it to bunny bunny and it's stuck so far. The kids love feeding her carrots and letting her get lost in the garage.

We waited for Brandon to get out of school and then we went to Joe Banditos for lunch. Then we headed to the mall to see The Lorax and then the girls got pedicures while Brandon waited patiently. We offered to get him a pedicure but he refused. :)

Jason took the kids home after he got off work and Angela and I went to Jenny's baby shower. Afterwards I raced home so that we could sing Happy Birthday and eat London's Dora the Explorer cake. I had planned to make her a cake this year but she saw this one at the store and really wanted it. Easy for me!

London is growing up way too fast! I always said she was born a Toddler. She's super tall for her age, she's talked clearly in full sentences since she was 2 and she's always trying to catch up with whatever Brandon and Tayler are doing. She loves teasing and is always hiding the other kids clothes before they can put them on. Her current favorite is Dora. London is my little buddy. While the other kids are at activities or school, she is always running errands with me and helping with whatever we need to get done. I'm so glad I'll have another year with her before she goes to preschool. She is my best helper around the house, especially in the kitchen. Every day she asks to help cook or empty the dishwasher (I think she just likes putting the soap in the dishwasher). London is the best snuggler. She is always asking if I want to snuggle with her and watch a show. It drives London nuts when she asks me a question and I nod the answer or mumble a yes response. Every day I hear, "talk to me mom!"

Some of her favorite foods are chicken and fries, pizza, noodles, scrambled eggs and captain crunch. London is my best eater by far. She'll try almost anything, she likes celery and broccoli and recently hamburgers. I sure love this cute little ball of fire. She adds so much to our family and I can't wait to see what this next year brings for her. I love you Londy Lou!
