Poppy’s First Day Of School
Posted in penelope on Aug 19th, 2009
Poppy’s really thinned out and sped up. At 18 months, she’s about the same height as she was at 14 months, but seems much more thin. Must be all the running, jumping, and climbing she does. She can happily run in a circle for 15 minutes, or bounce on a bed for [...]
I finally uploaded some of the photos we’ve recently taken… Here are our two trips to various “pick your own” farms, for strawberries and blueberries.

Potty Time
Posted in penelope on Jul 5th, 2009
Poppy is now using her potty.
She’s been sitting on it for a while, but this weekend was the first time she actually used it successfully (twice so far). We, of course, cheered and encouraged her… But I think it just clicked in her brain that was what she was supposed to do. I don’t expect [...]
Poppy At 15 Months
Posted in penelope on May 4th, 2009

Poppy Update – Fast And Furious
Posted in penelope on Apr 2nd, 2009
Little poppy is fast and furious these days (at least when she doesn’t get what she wants, fast enough). Turn your back and she’s gone…. or perhaps she’s up, as in climbing up furniture. She’s eating a lot (sauteed mushrooms and onions and swash and garlic, last night… mmmm) and still has chubby legs and a [...]
Poppy Spinning
Posted in penelope on Mar 16th, 2009
Poppy has long been termed as a “rough neck” and she certainly earns that title, loving to be thrown around and tickled and rough housing with her peers or adults alike.
She has just started spinning around in circles to get herself dizzy.
It’s one of the cutest things I’ve ever witnessed.
The downside is that she [...]
Mom and Sam drove to Louisville for a few days this past weekend+ (Friday – Tuesday).
We all had a wonderful visit and they played with poppy almost nonstop… as expected. We took full advantage of the free babysitting and went out a few nights and on the whole, were less than adequate hosts, but [...]
