9 months old!

Our beautiful wee girl is growing so fast! Nine months old and recently she has learned to wave, clap hands and stand balanced by herself. She loves her two afternoons a week playing at Tiny Tots and will do a full-body shudder of excitement when she sees Yogi has come to her house to play. She bops to any music played or sung and will gravitate to the newest item in a familiar room. She happily laughs and babbles most of the time and still has long and peaceful nights. She is continuing her morning breastfeed with lots of fresh fruit and veges during the day. Her favourite foods are pumpkin and banana.

Her 9 month check-up and weigh-in at Plunket went very well today. Her development is on track and our Plunket nurse Carol gave everything the thumbs up.

Poppy’s first Halloween party was with her friends from the Nelson USA Club at MacMillans on a rainy Sunday afternoon. She wore her red Japanese Kimono with her Daddy’s SpongeBob SquarePants candy bucket. Although she didn’t have any candy, she enjoyed playing with her dressed-up friends – particularly Zac in his Eyeore outfit!
