Week of firsts!

Today marks our 2 week anniversary of having Poppy home and the changes we have seen in the past couple of days are soooo exciting! Our week has been full of "firsts" for Poppy. Her first visit to the zoo, first walk in her stroller, first time letting daddy carry her in the baby carrier, first time in the pool, the list goes on and on. She is going to Marc a lot more often and he was even able to give her a bottle this morning. We've had quite a few visitors these past couple of days, and at first she is still extremely shy, but lately she's been warming up to a few of our family and friends. Each day is filled with exciting surprises around here!

These 2 do this all day long, and then Poppy usually opens her mouth and bends down to give Lola a big kiss on the lips. Lovely.

I just had to get a picture of this dress - it's one of my favorites, but it was a little snug, so I doubt she'll wear it again.

Playing peek-a-boo from behind a cushion.

Our first attempt at pig-tails.

Making pizza with daddy!

First time in the carrier on dad's back. She fell asleep by the time we got home from our walk.

Playing with dirt. (and as soon as I snapped this picture, that hand full of dirt went into her mouth. Mmmm.)

Our little bathing beauty.

Poppy's first trip to the zoo! The only animal she really cared about was this goat.

Poppy's first ice-cream cone!

Needless to say, the girl loves ice-cream.

First visit from Aunt Courtney!

Party on the porch!

Poppy leaning to almost give Claire a kiss!

My sweet girl.

Daddy's girl!

Nursery pics and more...

Poppy is just amazing us more and more each day. Every morning starts with a bottle in our rocking chair, and as soon as it's done, she starts giggling. It's the cutest thing. She's the cutest thing. And we just can't get enough of that giggle.

Licking her yogurt lips.

This is the "Mama, come pick me up!" look. (I get it about 100 times a day)

She's just starting to look at some of her toys, but she's still not sure about her stroller :(

Even though she's walking around and exploring, this is still her favorite spot to be :)

Here she is checking to make sure her belly button is still there.

If there's food around, this is the smile we get.

Look who made me breakfast together yesterday!

And I'm finally getting around to posting pictures of the nursery...

This is what the room looked like the day before she came home. Daddy worked hard all night long to get it finished.

This is what our co-sleeper looks like (one of the best purchases we've made). Speaking of which, our nights are still pretty rough, so this bed is calling my name right now.
