Poppy and the Pacifier

A new day in Poppy's life:

Poppy got up at 5:30am ate, we went for a walk and she fell asleep in the sling. When we got home she woke up. She was up for two more hours ate again and hung out on the blanket.


She went to sleep with some coaxing from Papa. She woke up when he put her down. She was up for two more hours ate again and went to sleep. Only to wake up when I put her in bed.
Drastic measures were called for, I tried the pacifier. I gave it to her and she did not hesistate to latch on. I put her in bed and she was asleep in 5 minutes. It fell out of her mouth when she went to sleep. She has been asleep for 3 hours. I am changing my ways, pacifiers are not that bad. :>

Happy Birthday 1 Month Old

Poppy is one month old today and we celebrated our 12th anniversary today as well.

Poppy went to the beach twice yesterday, Church this morning and the beach this afternoon. Of course we forgot the camera. We took fun family pictures today.

Grandma Leaves - how sad

Grandma left today. Poppy got some extra Grandma time this morning.
Little Poppy is wearing her new dress from Aunt JoAnn & Uncle Dan Edwards.
Grandma had to get her picture taken with her favorite dog. We got one last picture with mom.

Poppy loves the sling

We have been on 4 walks in the sling. She is calm when she gets laid in the sling and then wails for a few blocks. I am amazed at how she calms down and goes to sleep. I can put her right in bed when we get home. She is wonderful.

3 Weeks

Poppy loves being with Grandma. We are trying to avoid the pacifier, she really liked my thumb.

Sailing

Carter took Andrea sailing. The tide was a bit low so they did more pushing than sailing.
Poppy rode in her stroller and Grandpa and Grandma drove down to watch.

Family Continued

We hung out all weekend just looking at Poppy, waiting for her to wake up, go to sleep, burp, need her diaper changed ...

Family

Grandpa and Grandma are here all the time, yeah. Auntie Kim and Cousin Andrea are down for their first visit. They are fighting over who gets to hold Poppy, the criteria is when she cries she gets handed off. :>

The Bancrofts come for a visit

April, her mom Marcie, Kadin, Jordan and Seth were Poppy's first out of town visitors. Poppy was crying when they arrived and April worked her motherly magic on her. Jordan Bancroft enjoyed her visit with Poppy. She also shared some love with Noodle. Kadin took his turn holding Poppy, and then he and Carter went outside and did boy stuff. Marcie, April's mom, made Poppy's hat. She is ready for the Los Osos weather.

1st Bath

Poppy had her first bath. Carter did the bathing, Grandma kept her safe and I took pictures. It took all three of us.

She was so content after her bath, I held her for about an hour and then she went to sleep.

So far we know she likes to be take a bath and ride in the car.

4 Days Old

We went to the lactation consultant and had Poppy weighed before she ate, in the middle and after she ate. She lost @ 10 ounces from Sunday (7.1) to Tuesday (6.8). She weighed 6.14 on Thursday, so she is back to gaining weight. She ate 2 ounces and pooped for the lady. What a good girl.

3 days old

We are keeping a low profile. Poppy went to the Dr. yesterday to check on her jaundice. She is going really well and has not turned yellow yet.
