The Allen's: The London Lowdown: 15 Months

Since it's bloody cold outside...
I decided it would be fun to do a stylized photoshoot based around one of my
all time favorite TV series...
Once Upon a Time.
If you haven't watched it. do so. please. It will improve your health.
I saw a photo shoot similar to this on pinterest that I got my inspiration from.
I took that idea, & put my own fun twist to it.
Enjoy London at 15 months.

Each picture is edited to depict each fairytale.
So, the story begins.

Cinderella.

Little Red Riding Hood.
Dot played the Big Bad Wolf.

Sleeping Beauty.
I never would have gotten her to sleep..
So, here is awake/wild/crazy sleeping beauty.

Alice in Wonderland.
Alice herself hasn't actually made an appearance in the show...
But, the Mad Hatter & the Queen of Hearts has.
I'm hoping Alice makes an appearance soon.

Snow White.

Pinocchio.
I tried to tie strings around her feet & hands like a puppet...
But, it didn't go over too well with a 15 month old.
So, here is cute string-less Pinocchio.

And, of course Harry Potter isn't in Once Upon A Time..
But one can wish... Right?
I couldn't possibly leave out Harry Potters fairy tales...
Tales of Beetle the Bard.

The End.

Crazy, wild, loveable, independent, beautiful, miss personality...

the list could go on & on.

Needless to say, at 15 months... London is FUN.

P.S. I'll be taking over the London Lowdown for this point forward.. We will give L Rose a break.

Crazy how time flies huh?

I can't believe my BABY is 15 months.

She's a toddler now... Not only in personality..

But, when did my BABY start looking like a toddler?

Ok, enough of my sob story.

Here are a few (it may be more than a few) updates/stats/achievements on my little L Rose.

She weighs 20.8 lbs.
London has 12 teeth.
Little Miss went through a serious tongue sticking out phase... At all times..
She can climb off my bed... still makes me nervous. Speaking of climbing, she can climb on/off couches, chairs, pretty much any elevated surface.
Crazy, perfect, wobbly walker. She started walking around the first of December. She walks the very best when she's holding some type of toy, dishware, etc. Pretty much if she's holding anything.
London can say dad, dot, mom, meeska mooska (mickey mouse), ut oh, & what's that (wu-tha). Her words came in that order as well.
She LOVES to feed mom, dad, & dot. I'm pretty sure Dot LOVES it as well.
She does this silly thing called 'lazy sunday'... Dad named it that. We just say, "Lazy Sunday," and she will lay on her back & think it's the funniest thing ever. Silly girl. She especially loves doing 'lazy sunday' in the bathtub.
Miss London is a HUGE showoff.
London gives kisses for those who ask.
She loves her baby doll. She gives kisses & loves to her baby doll all day long. Sweet little thing.
One of Londons most frustrating things (for mommy) that she's doing at the moment is throwing everything off her highchair & everything out of the bathtub. Annoying & frustrating for me. Funny & fun for her. I guess we have to disagree somewhere. We are working on it.
London has recently learned how to scrub her feet.

She is OBSESSED with her blanket. Like literatly. I'm trying to think of a stronger word than obsessed even. She HAS to have her blanket in her hand at ALL times. Eating, sleeping, playing, relaxing...needless to say, we go through lots of blankies in the wash.
London loves to drape things around her neck... I promise, I watch her carefully. Cords, blankets, necklaces, strings, clothes, swimsuits, etc.
She's also quite into putting everything on her head. Shoes, toys, anything that resembles a hat, clothes, blankets, etc.
London is a great shopping buddy. Rarely, does she get grumpy when we are out on the town.
She is MUCH better in her car seat. I still have not switched it foreword yet, but I'm sure once i do, she'll even like her car seat better.
Some of her favorite toys right now are her shape sorter, stuffed giraffe , her mickey train, & her mickey mouse people.
Speaking of Mickey Mouse....She is obsessed with Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. She walks around with the remote & says Meeska Mooska. Little stinker.

London is still my little reader. She adores books. I adore that she adores books. Everytime we open a book, she says, "ooooooooooow."
She is my little tidy soul. She likes things to be orderly. If a lid is off, she has to put it on. If her toys are not together, she puts them together.
L Rose knows where her eyes are. She knows where Dots & mommy's eyes are. Loves to poke all our eyes out.
London's favorite foods are pomegranates, cheese, pineapple, ham, & raspberries.
She is known as Mogley around my family. My daddio has officially nicknamed her Mogley. She used to crawl by using her hands and feet...not knees... hence Mogley.
London has been a little cuddle bug lately. Likes to cuddle before naptime & bedtime.
We have had some serious bad luck with sickness. First it was a bad..BAD butt rash, then a bad cold, then vomiting, then fevers, now cough & sore throat. We can't seem to get the sickness out of our house. Please get out of town sickness, so I can get my little girl back.

London has to do everything herself. Eating & drinking among the common. Let's just say we are both frustrated. Throws a fit if I try. We are working on it.
Recently, she got to go to her first Jazz game. Dad had to buy her Jazz jammies & everything.

A lot of fun activities have been going on around here. I put together a bunch of texture, art, experiment, & coordination packets together for her. Needless to say, she has loved our activity time each day. You can stop teaching.... but, never stop being a teacher.
