Although Poppy has liked chewing on everything for a while now, today we discovered the first visable sign of teething in the form of a bright red left cheek! It only lasted an hour – but is a sure sign of things to come….

4th of July!
Poppy having fun at her first 4th of July party along with her little American friends – Isabella in the highchair….

…and playing with Affy.

goodbye chris
Saying goodbye to Crazy Uncle Chris at the airport.



fun with chris
We had lots of fun while Crazy Uncle Christopher was in Nelson.

first crawl
At exactly 5 months old, Poppy started commando crawling across the carpet to get to her toys. Although we have not encouraged this early behaviour – we think it’s too late to stop it! She uses her forearms flat on the floor to pull up her bottom and legs like a caterpillar – she will do this several times in a row to reach her intended target – usually her little crab that she likes to chew on and then throw.

neene’s housewarming
Aunty Neene and Rich bought a new house in Nelson and Poppy was invited to their housewarming where she played with Mary and Finn.
