The Jolly Jumper

London, has a new favorite activity....the Jolly Jumper!  She is getting quite good at it, too.  It took a few attempts before she really got the hang of it, but now there is bouncing and laughing in every doorway.  The best part is the Jolly Jumper keeps London totally entertained and I get some time to myself.  What a great invention!  I just love watching my baby grow and discover new things!

Smile for the camera

After months of tickling, laughing, and making funny faces we have finally captured a picture of London smiling.  She is usually a very happy baby and smiles and laughs all the time, but as soon as she spots a camera her face goes blank.  Darcy, snapped picture with his iPhone, so it's not the best quality, but it's a smile none the less.

A New Year

I've been wanting to start a blog for quite some time, but seeing as I am a great procrastinator and lack basic computer skills, I just never got around to it.  So as one of my new year's resolutions I am blogging!! 
2011 has some big shoes to fill!  Last year was the most fantastic year yet, all because of our little baby girl.
On August 27, 2010 at 2:57am we welcomed London Rae Shurtz.  She is our greatest blessing and we absolutely adore her!  London is already 4 months old and growing way too fast.  We are so grateful we get to be her parents, and are enjoying every minute of her!
Here are some fun facts and pictures of our little princess so far:

*London is super cuddly and loves being carried around all day
*London is a "healthy" girl and has been in the 95th percentile for her height and weight since she was 2 months old
*London started out as a Momma's girl, but recently decided she LOVES her Daddy.  Darcy is the best at making her laugh and smile
*London has always been very alert, and is almost always awake during the day. She usually takes just a few cat naps
*London is a GREAT shopper and is always happy on outings to the mall
*London has the cutest, smoochiest, chubbiest cheeks ever....and we love them!
