A YEAR and a HALF! I really can’t believe how fast time is flying and how big my ‘baby’ is!

She really has grown so much in just the last few weeks. She amazes me daily with what she says and does! And in 6 months she will be 2!!!!(& it’ll be thanksgiving. 😉 Yum). Even the girls at her gym daycare were saying how much she has grown in the last few weeks. My baby is a toddler now. Time needs to slow down!

Londyn is saying so many words and putting several words together. She will repeat anything, which is scary so we definitely have to watch what we say;). She’s very good with repeating names and remembering them. We went to visit family this last week and she remembered so many names and who they were. I was very impressed. She copies basically everything we do. She will grab a makeup brush and pretend to put on her makeup, she will stretch after we stretch, she copies words that mitch will say.

She is still obsessed with Duke and ALL things puppy. She loves all dogs and always has to wave hi to them when we see them. I hope her love of dogs continues because it’s really so sweet how much she loves them.

She also loves her Papa. Both of them. She calls both grandpas “Papa”. At first I thought maybe she was confused but she definitely knows the difference between them and adores them both so much.

We left Londyn for the first time for a long weekend last month and it went great! She stayed with my parents while Mitch and I went to visit our friends Katie, Matt & Sutton in Texas. It was such a fun trip and I think long overdue to leave her with my parents for a weekend away. She did great and didn’t even really notice we were gone! And we got to meet her future boyfriend, Sutton! Who is such a good, happy baby! I can’t wait for Londyn and Sutton to meet someday soon! We have a few plans this summer/fall to leave her again with our parents for more weekends away. She loves spending time with all her grandparents we need to take more advantage of it.

Londyn knows so many of her animals and animal noises. We went to the zoo in St Louis and she would see the animal and say it’s name and the noise it makes. It was the cutest thing. I love watching her learn new things and sometimes she does things and I really have no idea how she learned how to say or do it! Within the last two weeks or so she has discovered the TV and movies… she is OBSESSED with Shrek. We legit will watch it 5 times a day. She wakes up and asks for shrek or donkey! I don’t know what her obsession is but she loves it. And she is now asking for Moana too. Which I think is such a cute movie and has great music so I need to keep expanding her movie choices.

Londyn, my mom and I went on a trip this past week to visit family in St. Louis and it was such a blast getting to see my family and having them all meet Londyn! She fit right in and became attached to one of my cousins’ little girls. Wish she lived here to be our babysitter someday 😉 We went to the St Louis Zoo, hung out with family, went to the pool, went to my cousins graduation, shopping and we were exhausted by the end of the week and ready to get home to see daddy and duke. Londyn actually did great for being off her schedule and out of her element. We took a late night flight home which was a mistake. I assumed she would easily sleep on the flight home but poor baby girl couldn’t get comfy and it was pretty miserable flight home. But we survived! Ha;)

Now that the weather is finally nice to be outside and play all Londyn wants to do is play outside. Mitch Re did a little are in our backyard for A play area for her to play. She has a water table, slide, baby pool, and mitch made her a little picnic table. So we have been spending a lot of time playing outside, eating breakfast and lunch out there!

Another fun thing that happened this past month or so was Londyn was asked to be a Flower Girl!! I am so beyond excited to see my baby girl as a flower girl. It’s always been a dream to have a little girl and someday have her be in our best friends wedding and now she is! We were very honored for her to be asked and I can’t wait!

Here are some pictures from our past couple months!
