Poppy's first overnight stay!

Lolli and Poppy spent the night at Gma and Gpa Great's house last night. It was the first time Lolli had done that since Poppy was a tiny baby, and it was Poppy's first time EVER! Both girls had tons of fun and must've worn themselves out because they took 2.5 hour naps this afternoon! Gma said Poppy slept pretty well and only woke up 3 times. Glad that milestone is out of the way!

A tooth!!!

Poppy's got her first tooth poking through :) Lauren noticed it tonight at Will's birthday party. She said to Poppy, "You better not have any teeth in there when I pick you up in the morning!", then leaned Poppy back to inspect her gums. Sure enough, there was a tiny slit in her bottom left middle gum! Lauren can feel the tooth but can't see it in the slit quite yet. Yay, Poppy!

Ba Ba Ba Babbling

Poppy's becoming interactive! LOL Zach was talking to her tonight, saying, "Ba ba ba ba" and Poppy would respond, "ba ba ba ba" :)

What a good little mommy!

Lolli has a new favorite game involving 2 make believe babies. She likes to feed them, wrap them up and put them in their imaginary swings, push them around in invisible strollers, and put them in pretend jumperoos. But when it's time for their diaper changes, she uses real diapers and wipes. She's such a good little mommy!

Poppy rolled over!

The family was visiting Zach's parents today. Poppy was laying on the floor and Zach was trying to get her to roll over. After all hope seemed to be lost, Lauren got up to go to the bathroom. As soon as she closed the door she heard yells and gasps. Poppy had rolled over for the first time! She went from her tummy to her back, on accident, according to Zach. Finally!!! They knew she could do it :)

Happy New Year!

Zach, Lauren, Lolli and Poppy went to the Family New Year's Eve party at the Indiana State Museum this evening. The party was from 6-9, with a countdown and balloon drop at 8pm. They all got to wear Happy New Year hats and Lauren, Lolli and Poppy rode the LS Ayres train (one that Lauren had ridden when she was a child!). It was a tight squeeze but the girls loved it. Then they all went to see the Peewinkle Puppet show. Zach and Lauren thought it was cheesy but Lolli and Poppy were very entertained. After the balloons dropped, Lolli wasn't able to catch one. Thankfully some kind woman had an extra and gave it to her. Then they all went home to bed.

Night owl

Poppy had a coupe times as a little baby when she would sleep for 4-5 hours at a time during the night, and then wake every 2 hours after that. Then she went to taking every 2-3 hours all night long. Now she's waking up ALL.THE.TIME. Lauren's exhausted. Last night she let Poppy sleep on her tummy for a while. It seemed to help Poppy (she slept for an hour straight) but it made Lauren very nervous, especially since Poppy hasn't ever rolled over yet. Hoping for better sleep once she really gets started on solids.
