I thought we'd try to break our habit of waiting a whole month to update the blog again! So here we are, getting excited for Poppy to experience her first Christmas. Admittedly, Poppy has no idea what's happening, and we're way more excited about it than she is, but no matter! Paul hung my old childhood stocking up in Poppy's bedroom, and it's her favorite thing to look at. She waves at it every morning when she gets out of bed!
We'll be posting lots of pictures of Poppy opening presents, visiting the lights at temple square, and maybe even opening a cracker at new year's so that Paul can start teaching her to keep to her British traditions. I can already picture her in my head, in elementary school, trying to explain to the other children about boxing day, and Christmas pudding & mince pies, pantomimes, etc...
Here's a brief explanation of what Poppy's been doing: her favorite toys these days are her toothbrush and hair brush. A few times we've made the mistake of taking them away, which we immediately regretted!
She got some fun toys recently from Nannie Sue, which she loves. And the most exciting news of all - drumroll - she crawls! She still doesn't seem to care much for it; she kind of just does it randomly. I thought once she figured it out, she wouldn't be able to get enough of it. Now I'm thinking that she kind of knew how to do it before, but couldn't be bothered. Paul says that sounds like me. See what I have to put up with! (He's right, though.) Also, she pulls herself up to stuff now, mostly her leapfrog activity table, which she also loves. One day Paul and I looked over and she was just standing there, staring down at the table. It was pretty funny.
And last but not least - another poo story! The last couple of pictures features one of Poppy's worst blowouts ever. Paul and I were heading out the door to go to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir Christmas concert, and were delayed 15 minutes because Poopy Poppy had to go in the bath. Warning: these pictures are not for the faint of heart!
Anyway, have a great Christmas, boxing day, and new year!!
Paul's favorite photo - she loves her Mummy! (and still cries when I leave the room. It gets old, but I have to say, I love that she loves me so much!)
Note the annoying RC Willey ad on the TV behind us!
How in the world does this even happen!?!?!
Cheeky Monkey!

That is an impressive blow-out. I don't think Benji has ever had one that bad!
Gross. Like you said, how does that happen?
Sabrina also loves her hairbrush and toothbrush. She cries when I take the toothbrush away.
Should have bought that other brand of diaper!
lol! What is even more amazing is the diaper was probably not that bad. I remember those days all too well. GOOD TIMES ;)
LOL! I love the stories! And I love the picture where she is just staring at you!
That is a lot of poop. I was going to say you look reminiscent of that Paige Davis lady on the RC Willey commercial in the background. When she was hot...not since she chopped her hair off.
P.S. in that first picture it looks like she has two top teeth!
I am SO glad that she had that blowout right before we got there to babysit! haha! She is adorable and I'll agree with Paul, she probably could care less to crawl and will start walking soon!
