9 months

9 months?!?!? This has been such a fun/stressful month. She has now learned to get into everything and crawls super fast, you never know where she will be. She now likes to explore our entire apartment and goes in room to room. Mainly whichever room I'm in. She is like my little shadow. Her favorite place to be is under the kitchen table or watching the clothes goes round and round in the washing machine. She stands up on her own all the time, but hasn't quite figured out what to do with her feet. She loves picking up everything with her pointer finger. I think she's going to be a lefty. She does everything with her left hand/pointer finger. I try to have her use her right hand, and when she does she always switches whatever is in her hand to her left to eat/chew/naw on. She has two teefers on the bottom and it doesn't look like any others are trying to cut through yet. She loves taking her little pointer finger and touching my mole. She thinks its facinating. I however do not. She tried to eat it the other night. So, if I ever get it removed I won't have to go to a doctor, Londyn will just naw it off for me. Aren't children wonderful?

She loves when Jon and I toss her back and forth to each other. She thinks its so funny. One night, Jon and I were seeing if we could jump up and touch our heads to the ceiling (we live in a basement apartment so our ceilings are low). It was my turn to try, so I handed Londyn to Jon. As soon as I jumped up and tried with all my might, she started dying laughing. Seriously, she was giggling up a storm. I was slightly offended. I just got laughed at by a 9 month old. In her defense, I probably did look half retarded.

9 month stats:

Weight: 20 lbs (84%)
Height: 28.5 in (84%)
Head: can't remember (91%)

Happy 9 months to the prettiest girl I have ever laid eyes on! I love you so much Londy Pundy!!

Resolutions

I have never been good at keeping resolutions and usually mine are always the same...

1) lose weight
2) pray and read scripts everyday

But this year, I only have one resolution. It is to actually try and look like a decent human being. Seriously, I rarely wear my hair down anymore and it's always up in a bun. And I understand that buns are totally in right now, which rocks, but Jon LOATHES them. He said I remind him of his elementary school lunch lady. When he introduces me to people, he tells them I serve lunch to small children for a living (jj-->just joshin..how rude/funny would that be though?)So my goal is to wake up a little earlier, wash my hair, blow dry it, straighten it and actually look like I put somewhat of an effort in my appearence. Oh, and not do my make up in the car and pick out my outfit the night before. This is going to be rough.

It's freaking hard to be a girl. Don't even get me started on all our bodily functions that girls go through. It ain't even right.

So here's to not looking like the lady that hands your child their school lunch!

Cheers!

P.S. I'll post pics of my transformation soon! JJ...i would neverrr

Ok where in the h-e-double hockey sticks has the time gone? My baby is 8 months this month! That is crazzzzaaayyyy!!! Thanksgiving is already over and Christmas is here in no time. I have not done an ounce of shopping, and don't really care because all I'm getting Jon this year is coal (just joshin <---remember when that was so cool to say instead of just kidding? and I used to always say it to this kid named Josh and I thought I was so funny) Anyways, Londy is seriously a goof ball and she makes me laugh all the time. She stands up on EVERYTHING now!! When we go get her from her nap, she is standing in her crib. She thinks she's a toddler. Her chubby cheeks are out of control and I bite them constantly. She loves her mama and reaches for me to hold her. It drives Jon nuts. And she even says MAMA!! She has no clue what she's saying but she repeats it all the time!! I LOVE IT. JON HATES IT. He always says, "no DaDa!"

She smacks her lips, gives kisses, crawls all over the place, giggles up a storm, is very ticklish, loves food more than life itself, is very tall, almost fits into 12 month clothing, loves baths, loves her binki, hates snuggling, has dark brown hair, HATES getting dressed and her diaper changed (it's my least favorite part of the day as well), gets so excited when she hears a bottle being made, LOVES little kids, people watcher, and loves playing with Jon.

Here is a little bit of what has gone on in our lives...

On our way to Vegas for Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving at the Cromptons

For Christmas my parents gave us this tree and all the ornaments on it. It's actually a 7ft tree, but the spot where we could only put it in our apartment wouldn't fit, so we only used the first two parts of the tree!

Londyn all ready for Christmas

Our little family at Gardner Village

Standing up all on her own

Halloween

This year was kinda lame. Jon and I didn't dress up, which we always do, and we didn't have any fun Halloween parties to go to (mainly because we have no friends and we don't hang out with friends)! I told Jon that we have to start making friends so we will be invited to Halloween and Christmas parties! (haha, but seriously) I missed being with my fam over this holiday because my parents always throw their annual Halloween party! Oh well, Londyn did look freakin cute in her fish costume and we got to show her off to Jon's family and her babysitter. Jon wanted to take her around the neighborhood to "trick or treat" and I firmly gave that a big N-O. Obviously people would realize two grown adults would be taking their candy to eat it for themselves because a 6 month old cannot. Jon's response, "exactly, an easy way get free candy." I went ahead and just purchased a $2 bag of candy for my cheap husband.

Here she is in all her glory!

Jon's twin?

What do you think??

Also, this is Jon's mom when she was 3 years old. I think Londyn looks a lot like her too!
