London's Vocabulary

Little London is now cooing like crazy! She started yesterday and we decided we better catch it on video today. She is kind of a little mad in this video because she's getting tired, but you'll still get the idea. She does this cute little pucker thing with her lips when she makes all of her funny sounds. Matt and I die laughing watching her do it!

Gingerbread House


This is our Gingerbread house! We made it for Family night last week. I made the gingerbread from scratch, which taught me that buying a kit is definitely the way to go. It took me forever to make it and cut all the pieces out. On the other hand, our home smelled delicious afterward. It was a lot of fun to decorate and I was quite impressed with Matt's creativity=) He would deny it if you asked him though.

Nashville


We took our first family trip last weekend to the beautiful Music City. My favorite part was the Country Music Hall of Fame Museum. We got to see a lot of cool things like Elvis' gold piano and Carrie Underwoods red dress. I also learned that I really like Brenda Lee. They had an exhibit just for her.
We also went to the Grand Ol' Opry Hotel. Oh man was it crowded! London did fabulous the whole trip. We couldn't do as much as we normally would since London is still so little, but it was so nice to get out! We had so many people stop us to see London. Oh and I forgot to mention the best part! Our hotel was free! Matt has been building up Hilton points with his job, so we were able to stay 2 nights for free.

Daddy's Little Girl



London is smitten by Matt. When he gets home from work he'll immediately say hi to her and she will give him the biggest, most happy smile. I've only seen her smile like this for her papa. It is so cute! And to top it off... this morning Matt had her laughing. She was actually laughing! Oh we love her...
Christmas is right around the corner! We are so excited. We got all the decorations out on Thanksgiving evening and found that we don't have the stand to our Christmas tree. So now we have to buy a new tree or go without. Sad huh?
I also have a very disgusting story to tell. Today I decided to make some delicious blueberry muffins from my grandmother's recipe. I was holding London in my arms as I was walking by the counter and she spit up a couple of inches across the counter into the batter! I truly believe she did this on purpose because she didn't get a single drop anywhere else. Gross! So I only got one batch of blueberry muffins =(
