Can you believe it's been a year since Poppy entered the world? Actually, it's hard to remember life without her! So here's a brief update on 12-month old Penelope Lynn.
Poppy weighs 22lbs 13oz and is 29.75 inches long. Both fall in the 75th percentile. Her head is 18.25in around, which is closer to the 90th percentile. She's gotta keep all those smart somewhere! ;) She has golden BLONDE hair that curls in the back. Still has cradle cap, especially up front on top. She has 8 teeth all in front, 4 on top and 4 on bottom. No molars yet but they're starting to lump up. She still has rolly thighs and huge brown eyes. To sum it up... she's gorgeous!
Milestones... Poppy can do it all! She started walking hard-core the day before her 1st birthday and now she's so fast is surprises everyone! She hardly crawls anymore. She loves climbing up stairs so Lauren and Zach have to be really careful to lock the gate at the bottom. Poppy can even climb up the slide to Lolli's top bunk - NOT a good thing, safety-wise! She has a few words. She says "mama", "Daaaa (Dad)", "Lalalala (Lolli)", "baby", "TaDaaa!", "ball", and "num num num" (when she's eating LOL). Speaking of eating, Poppy is a FANTASTIC eater. She likes pretty much everything and has a rather hearty appetite. She insists on feeding herself, even using utensils, which can get messy! She loves cola when she can sweet talk someone into giving her some. She loves popsicles and grapes and blueberries and of course cake!
Poppy is not a fan of whole milk, although sometimes she'll drink it if there's chocolate in it. She breastfeeds 4-5 times in a 24 hour period. She's getting great at going to sleep if Lauren puts her down in the pack n play awake. But she still sleeps in the big bed with L and Z, which makes for easy night nursing. She's inconsistent with her napping. Some days it's 3 hours, some days it's 40 minutes. Poppy loves to sit on the potty, but hasn't managed to pee or poop in it yet. She wants to be just like Lolli in pretty much every aspect. They are best friends who love doing everything together. They play and tickle and love on each other. It's awesome!
Poppy loves dancing, which she does by sticking her arms out and twisting at the waist. She's very good at getting her point across about what she does or does not want. She's pretty sweaty for a kid, probably because her metabolism is working so hard to digest all that food she eats ha ha She's perfect in every way! Lauren and Zach are so fortunate to have 2 wonderful daughters that they couldn't love more <3
