subscribePoppy is 4 Months!
May 18th, 2011
This little bug is four (and a half) months old!
“I can’t believe it” has been repeated several times around here but, I just, can’t, believe it. Time goes by too fast.
PoppyLouGrace (as her big sister calls her) is a squishy little ball of joy. She brightens my days over and over. I say it every day when Ant comes through the door, she’s just the happiest little baby.
Right now diaper changes are her very favorite times. She’s a little ball of happiness when we let her free from her diaper and tickle her. Because of this, nakey time is also her favorite time. We lay a thick blanket on the floor and let her roll around and play and pee wherever she feels. I’ve gotten pretty good about predicting when she’s about to let it loose. The other day she let a little toot out and I swiftly diapered that tiny bum. That was a fair warning, and very appreciated.
Poppy began rolling from her belly to her back at 14 weeks. Since that exciting discovery, just about every time we lay her on her back, she flips herself straight to her belly.
She is teething like crazy. Her little bottom gums get puffy and white from time to time and she loves to chew on hands. Anyone’s hands. I think her favorite hands belong to her daddy. She also likes to try to chew his face. She’s like a dinosaur when she does it.
Lucky for her teething battle, she has figured out how to bring things to her mouth. It’s so fun to watch her realize when something is within reach, then go for it and taste success (literally). These days she always has two fingers in her mouth.
The Easter Bunny brought her two chewie toys; Sophie the Giraffe and a cute little…thing. I don’t know what it’s called but I’m in love with it.
And she is finally starting to play with my handmade donut rattles a bit. She inspired that toy and it makes me so happy to see her enjoy something that I made!
Miss Pops absolutely loves to play peek-a-boo. It has kind of replaced her fascination with the raspberries. Say “boo!” to her and you’re sure to get chuckles.
She also loves to see us dance. I pull out my rusty tap dance moves and as long as I end the jig with jazz hands, she finds it hilarious. Again, completely willing to act the fool for this baby.
As much as she likes to laugh with Mommy and Daddy, I am certain that Ella gets her best laughs. Ella Faye can just walk past her and Pops lets out a chuckle. She’s always got a smile for her big sister. She already thinks she’s the best thing ever.
This little one has become a total chatterbox lately. She and Ella combined, we’re going to have our ears talked off. I can’t imagine the teenage years! My favorite times are after a feeding, when she lays in my lap and just looks up at me and we chat.
Our Poppy Lucille has the brightest eyes, puffy little pillow cheeks, and the sweetest disposition. And the strongest hold on our hearts.
