Poppy can stand up!

Well, obviously, since she's been standing for 7 months and pulling herself to standing for a month or so. But today she learned how to do it all by herself, without anything to pull or push up on. She did it over and over and is so proud of herself. Her mom and dad are super proud, too :)

Poppy's First Step (and a pony ride)

Lauren, Lolli and Poppy were hanging out at the Ft, Wayne mall playground today when Poppy decided to take her first unassisted step! She walked from Lauren towards a hollowed out log thing. It was awesome! She only took one step before she got herself freaked out and decided to scoot the rest of the way.

In that same playground, Lolli made friends with a random 3.5 year old girl. They were playing near each other when Lolli said, "That's my sister Poppy. She has brown hair like my Daddy." To which the girl replied, "I have blonde hair." So Lolli said, "I have blonde hair, too, and so does my Mommy." And the girl said, "My mom has blonde hair, too." LOL Lauren was cracking up.

After Zach got done working, they all went to the Ft. Wayne Children's Zoo. It's a very nice zoo but they only had 3 hours before it closed so they kind of had to hurry. All 4 of them piled into a log and floated around an exhibit of dingoes and kangaroos. Then Poppy rode a tony pony twice around the track. She loved petting Sadie's mane. Lauren was a bit uncomfortable because the pony was sooooo short but it was worth it! Then Zach went on a ski-lift type ride that took him up and over the zoo. At first Lolli insisted she was too scared but in the end she rode it with Lauren and loved it. She also loved feeding the fish in the pond. Lolli was too scared to pet the goats, but Poppy enjoyed it. What a fun day!
