I can't believe she is 8!

London turned 8 this month.  I had a birthday as well and I didn't feel any older until this happened...

London got baptized!  When did my baby turn into a big accountable 8 year old?  How can I have a child this old?  She is turning into a young lady.  Everyday I look at her, she seems older and older.  She is such a huge help around here.  Here are a few things I love about London.

1.  She really loves her siblings and helps them every day.  They always know they can go to her if they need help with something and she will lend them a hand.  Asher would rather have her tuck him in at night then me (she always gives in to just one more story) and Pyper idolizes her.

2.  She is a great artist.  She loves art and she got the perfect teacher this year to push her in the right direction.  Right now they are working on a Van Gogh unit and her pictures are amazing. 

3.  She loves to read and she loves learning.  She is really interested in history and in science.  I love watching her get excited about a subject and really immersing herself in it.  She was recently learning about the Titanic and she loves watching Mysteries in Museums on the history channel.  She loves to create things and is always thinking of her next project.

4.  London is turning into quite the little chef.  She loves to make treats.  This week she baked a cake entirely by herself.  (I only helped put it in and take it out of the oven.) She did amazing job.  I am looking forward to when she can help with dinner :)

I don't know what I would do without my sweet girl.  I loved spending time with her over Christmas break.  It was so nice having her home the whole time and being able to talk with her.  I feel like time is rushing away and I will only have her for such a short time.  Hopefully we can make the most of every moment!

We love you London!  Happy Birthday!
