All About Guinn Baby #4

I've been meaning to do this again (write a post about each baby like I did last summer) but I keep getting side tracked. However, now that London is SIX months old, I figure his 1/2 birthday post will be a perfect place to start. So starting in reverse order :)

All About Guinn Baby #4

Baby London turned six months old today...I have no idea how that happened!

London aka "my lovie" (mommy), "sweet baby" (Lauren), "baby london" (triplets), "mr fuzz" (daddy), "boo boo chicken" (from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse)
(The triplets can all say his name so I don't guess he'll get a random nickname like Nay Nay or Nonnie!)

London is pretty much happy all the time. Now that he's getting a little older he knows what he wants and can fuss until he gets it but since 99.9% of the time, all he wants is his momma, he's very easy to please. (He's also easy to distract right now so if I need a minute or two all I have to do is send a triplet his way!)

London is a cuddle bug and sleeps right next to me...I LOVE it!!! He ALWAYS wakes up smiling - the very best way to start the day!

He sleeps straight from about 8:30pm until around 8:45am. I usually nurse and rock him to sleep and then put him in his swing (this way the triplets can get their bath and get ready for bed without disturbing him). Plus I get a little alone time with him and we have a calm ending to a sometimes crazy day!

When I go to bed, I take him with me and all I have to do is lay him down and rub his little back...most of the time he never wakes up. When he wakes up in the morning, I feed him and we cuddle as the triplets start waking up. We all watch a little Disney channel and then I put London back down right before I take the trio downstairs for breakfast. He takes about 2 or 3 more naps throughout the day(some cat naps and then one big nap with the trio). Basically he's an awesome sleeper...woohoo I'm lucky!!!


I usually nurse him to sleep so he sleeps on his side with his arm up over his head. He naps alot in his swing and is usually swaddled, but if he happens to get his arm out, he'll raise it up, just like he does while laying on the bed.

His favorite toys include the Baby Einstein Exersaucer and his Jumperoo (plus any toy that he can put in his mouth!)

He reaches for me which melts my heart!

If you ask him to say Momma, he does a cute thing with his lips/mouth (like he's blotting lipstick!). He's made the sound a time or two though usually he does it silent. I thought I had it on video but I can't find it at the moment...I'll keep looking!

He's a big boy now and sits at the table with the big kids. I try and give him a sippy with water or something to play with so he feels like he's "one of them"!

He got to try puffs for the 1st time this weekend and I think they'll be a staple for him just like they were for the triplets!

So far his favorite foods to go with his rice cereal are bananas, pears and applesauce. We tried sweet potatoes (which the trio LOVED) last week and he gaged and acted like we were poisoning him. We'll have to try again later! He's an excellent eater whether its solids, formula or breastmilk. As long as its food - he's happy!


The little guy rolls all over the place...

and can sit unassisted (for about a minute or two). He's VERY proud of himself and I must say that I'm pretty impressed that all of these milestones are just happenening, and not stuff that we have to work on like we did in the past. Whew!

I've been taking pictures of London in his bouncy seat every month though this month, he wouldn't lay back...he wanted to sit up! Oh well, guess it still shows how much he's grown!


London One Week

London Six Months

He wears clothes and shoes that the triplets wore when they were 18 months old!

London LOVES LOVES LOVES his siblings and watches their every move. He can spot them from across the room and laughs at pretty much everything they do (even when they take his toys and just plain annoy him!).

I'm sure there's stuff I'm missing, but its super late so if I think of something I'll just update it later. Bottom line is we think London is absolutely ADORABLE and the PERFECT addition to our family. WE LOVE YOU LONDON!!!
