Poppy’s 10 Month Update

Baby

Another month has passed and my little crazy haired troll is now even bigger and increasingly independent. The past month has been a blast, despite teething causing some sleepless nights.

Pops has had her 9 month health visitor check where she was weighed and is 8.65 kg or 19lbs. The health visitor was pleased with her progress and said she’s caught up well from being born early.

So what’s new in Poppy’s world?

Feeding

Poppy loves her food which is fabulous. I’ve recently done a huge batch of freezer cooking as one portion of food was no longer enough for her and she’s enjoying food with more flavour. Salmon and broccoli risotto is a favourite and Nanny commented on her garlic breath afterwards! Poppy is also getting a bit better with finger foods so she’s had biscuits, toast and even tried croissant. She definitely has a sweet tooth and gets excited when the pudding comes out!

Playing

Pops has properly got the hang of crawling now and she seems to love having more freedom to get about and find the toys she wants…or just get into mischief. Now she’s crawling she’s quickly progressed to trying to pull herself up on furniture and her walker. She also lifts her bum up and straightens her legs like she’s doing a downward dog, so maybe she’ll be a yoga lover.
Favourite games are peepo, try and pick the knots out of the wooden floor and playing with her walker. Pull the photo frame over, try and get the sky remote are also firm favourites.
Poppy has also learnt to clap and understands “Poppy clap” and will usually respond by clapping.

Playing with Daddy’s flip flops…

Communication

Poppy’s still refusing to say Mamma, but her favourite sound is currently “baba” instead of Dadda. She loves the sound of her own voice and loves to have a good shriek and make different sounds. She’s also learnt how to make noises by rubbing her hand against her mouth.
One of my favourite things is how she raises her arms to be picked up and her comical faces which she knows will always make us laugh!

Sleep

Sleeping at night time has been more disturbed due to a cold and teething but generally Poppy is in bed by 7pm and usually wakes around 6am when she’ll get in our bed and have a bottle whilst we have a cup of tea. I had resorted to giving a bottle in the night to settle her but worried I’ll make a rod for my own back by doing so, so going to only give one as a last resort!

Over the next month I think we’ll see quite a lot of development as Poppy starts nursery in January as I go back to work (sobs) but I’m looking forward to her making some little friends and exploring new things.
