Happy Father's Day

Today, was Darcy's first Father's Day.  I don't tell him often enough what a great Dad he is. I always suspected he'd be good with children but I never imagined I'd find him singing lullabies, picking out hair bows, and sleeping on the floor beside London's crib, just to make sure she doesn't stop breathing.  Yes, London is on lucky little lady! I don't think there is anything he wouldn't do for her.
Darcy, is also such a FUN Dad. He's very creative and resourceful. For example, one day while watching London he decided to be a sweetheart and do the dishes too.  London was a little cranky, so sat her on the counter and let her dip her feet in the dish water.  One thing lead to another and somehow London, ended up taking a bath with the dishes.  I know it's a little gross to think she was in our kitchen sink, but I did come home to a happy baby and the dishes were done!
I am so grateful for a wonderful husband and an amazing father of my own.

Life

Life has been pretty great lately.  The weather has been sunny, Darcy, is working and getting quite a nice tan, London, is growing and oh so fun, and I am enjoying all of my days at home before I go back to work next month. I'm not really going back to work, not full time anyway, okay, not even part time, but I will be picking up a few days here and there this summer.  I'm actually looking forward to it, I am however, a little stressed about leaving London for the day, but my awesome mom will be watching her, so I know she'll be in good hands.
London is 9 1/2 months now, and like I said she is growing like crazy!! She wears 12-18 month clothes and weighs about 21 lbs. Her feet are growing too, today I tried on 3 different pairs of shoes before I found some that fit.  Darcy, has insisted that I stop buying shoes for London, so we will see how long we can get by...
London is super busy, she is crawling all over the place, pulling herself up, and climbing. She walks along the furniture and walls really well and can even take a few steps on her own.  Her favorite words are BABA and DADA.  She loves reading books, and can turn the pages all by herself.  She can open cupboards and likes to pull everything out! She loves the bathroom for some strange reason, if we ever leave the door open she makes a b-line for the toilet paper roll.  She has GREAT oral hygiene, and loves having her teeth brushed and flossed.  Speaking of teeth, she cut her 6-1 a few days before she turned 9 months old, her 5-1 at about 9 1/4 months, and her 5-2 and 6-2 a few days ago! She is such a good teether, she hardly ever gets fussy during the day, and her cheeks don't really get red or anything.  She loves talking on the phone, or rather having people talk to her in the phone. Whenever she sees a phone (or remote control) now she holds it up to her ear.  We think she's so smart!
