Before and after-Rocking chair

We are almost done with the nursery.

I can't believe I am about to have my 4th baby and just now getting a rocking chair. We had a hand-me-down glider, but I gave that away to try to force myself to find the perfect rocking chair. I think we did. It was exactly what I was looking for.

Every night before bed I would search craigslist for rocking chairs. I would always see something I wanted, but never in my price range. I wanted a really good solid chair for $25 or less(kind of unrealistic but I like a challenge). A couple weeks ago I spotted this beauty and was able to talk them down to $30. I didn't meet my goal of $25, but this chair is worth so much more then we paid for it. I love how it turned out.

I am getting so excited to rock our sweet baby into dream land soon.

BEFORE

AFTER

52 BP,Nursery, 18 months

Could our baby be 18 months old already?!? London turned 18 months on April 2,2008

This week I am thankful/grateful that London is 18 months old so she can finally attend nursery! YEAH FOR NURSERY!

Today was actually her 3rd week in nursery and I am pretty sure she loves it (although today she was just sooooo tired!) I am so thankful for GREAT NURSERY leaders who are just fantastic!(Thank you Sara and Marie) It was so nice to able to sit and enjoy Sunday school and RS... at least until Sept :)

Here are a few things about London...

*She is obsessed with Elmo and I mean obsessed!

*She talks like crazy, sometimes 3 words at a time. I get blown away that I am having full on conversations with her.

*She loves books and will bring me about 12 a day to read to her

*She is very independent and doesn't want much help from Mom

*She LOVES Popsicles, frozen gogurts and ice cubes (pretty much anything frozen and cold just like her Mom) Our house Motto is, "Every thing's better frozen" such as chocolate,laffty taffy,grapes you name it we freeze it -YUMMY!

*She loves her showers and will stand right under the running water for as long as I will let her.

*She loves to brush her teeth sometimes 5x a day

*She is one tough cookie-she sheds no tears for bee stings,cuts on glass,shots,falls etc... but if she doesn't get what she wants or she is overly tired, bring on the water works! She is a total tom boy but still has the crazy emotions of a girl that's for sure!

*She is finally attached to something...her blanket! For so long nothing would comfort her, now she is very much attached to her blanket,but it doesn't leave the house and she knows that.

*She loves to pick out her own shoes and really doesn't like to be barefoot, even in the house.

*She does not like Mom doing hair and has been known to push my clients and say "bye bye!"

*Her new nickname is "The Wedge" because she has to wedge herself in between everything like, Dad touching Mom, Mom working, Mom/Dad on the computer,phone or watching TV etc... she sure likes to be front and center when it comes to attention.

*She senses somethings about to change with the new addition and tries with all her might to push in Mommy's tummy-This is actually really funny to watch!

*She loves to sing and picks up lyrics really fast. We love to hear her sing its so cute!

We took her for her 18month check up and the Dr said she is doing awesome!

She is 95% for height

60% for weight

45% for her head

We just love our Londee girl and are so grateful we have a happy healthy child!
