Poppy is 5 months old already!! She had her 4 month appt and everything went well. She got her shots, I cried, she cried, she pooped, etc… She weighed 12lbs 11 oz and was 23 1/2 inches long. I just weighed her recently and now she weighs 13 lbs. She is still wearing 3-6 month clothing and still has a couple newborn or 0-3 months she can still squeeze into!
Poppy rolls over, creeps around on her belly (a pre-cursor to crawling according to parents.com), she yells, laughs, and “talks”. She has been doing most of those things except pre-crawling since month 3 but now she has them all mastered down! It is so funny because I will put her in her crib or on the floor and she will flip around like a little monkey and she will manuever around so she is at the opposite end of her crib facing the other direction!
Poppy’s hair is getting lighter and has a reddish tint to it. It is almost exactly my same hair color it is so funny!! She also needs her bangs trimmed but Jake likes her to look like she has a wig on I guess!
We love her “talking” and yelling and cooing. She will mimic our sounds and it is so neat. I kept saying hi to her over and over one day and she repeated hi back to me. Obviously she has no idea she is saying hi and she didn’t mean to but I was still like oh my gosh she said hi. She said hi! ha ha
We have given poppy cereal twice and she seemed to like it. I have just been breastfeeding though because it is so much easier! I will start giving her cereal more often once she seems like she is not full on just milk. I think she will be a good eater. I hope anyways!!

I will never forget when you were a tiny baby you were in your crib and I went in and said hi and you said hi back– I was sooo excited because I thought that I had taught you your first word! That is so awesome how little Poppy is moving around already but don’t get all excited about her crawling or walking yet because oh, my, goodness, then you have to watch her every second!!
