Poppy made a friend at the zoo








Playing with the toy giraffe from the zoo
Poppy's stats at her one-year doctor's appointment were right in line with what they've always been: average height and weight, and above-average head size, hee hee! She is healthy as ever, and cuter by the day, although she seems to be losing her baby cheeks & baby fat already. We were comparing her teeth now to her teeth in the previous post, and boy what a difference a month makes! She has 6 full teeth now, and yesterday we noticed another one has popped through on the bottom (explains a lot...)! She chatters incessantly, claps and points at everything, and can even say certain things, like "Jaja" (Georgie), "Mama", "Dada", and can bark like a dog if you point to one in a book (doesn't sound much like a dog, but it's really cute)!
She loves the the baby dolls and books she got for her birthday, as well as some new shoes, sunglasses, toothbrush and ladybug suitcase she got from grandma & grandpa, aunts & uncles and cousins. Cousin Maia helped her open most of her gifts (let's be honest, does Poppy really care at this point?), and Edison and Cullen just enjoyed playing with each other! She also got a little car/bike thing that Paul's dad & stepmom gave her on her birthday that she LOVES, which is both good and bad. Good because it is our new anti-crying tool, bad because if we leave it in the living room she is constantly trying to climb onto the thing. So far her favorite thing to do is chase Georgie in it. Surprisingly, even Georgie seems to enjoy this game.
All in all, a fun birthday month!!
