Christmas weekend

Top 10 things that happened over the weekend.

1. Staying in NYC and enjoying the non traveling during all the snow storms

3. Seeing Poppy being passed around the restaurant to different tables. She was a hit.

4. Drinking Egg Nog

5. Making crepes on Christmas for brunch. New Soffe tradition

7. Completing day 25 and 26 of my 30 day challenge...I'm almost done!

8. Having friends over to celebrate

9. Walking in the rain to get our favorite tacos in the city at La Esquina.

10. Eating at the BEST sushi hole in the wall and going to the movies for our anniversary. Seriously, the sushi was like candy.

Reyn and Poppy wrestling. She loves to get tortured. Laughs her guts out. The freezing rain on the way to get tacosGiving her new doll a big wet opened mouth kiss.

Santa hats

Both of Poppy's grandparents sent her a Santa hat to wear on Christmas. We tried to get a perfect shot with her sporting these hats but she would not have it. Here are some examples plus some extras.

Pancake went and stayed at a dog walkers house for the weekend and came back with this. The dog walker told me that Pancake and the other dog at her house just made out the entire time. She came back wiped. New sexy jammies

Sorry, more Santa

Reyn got his film developed and I had to post some of the Santa photos. That first photo KILLS me. She is such a muffin.

We had to take the photo twice because the original that the photographer took didn't come out. By the second round she was totally over Santa.

Poppy, meet Santa

Poppy about ready to back hand Santa. She was super funny because she just sat on his lap looking him up and down, checking out his hairy face. She's used to it now with all our bearded friends.

December so far

I can't believe it's December. Where has time gone? Poppy is almost 10 months old! She will have her first birthday before we know it. INSANE.

Not much has happened the past couple weeks but here are a few pictures of the little miss. She is climbing up on everything and anything she can get her hands on that will hold her 20.5 pound weight. She had her check up last week and had only gained a pound in 3 months but has grown over 2 inches. She's in the 95% for height so we could have an amazon on our hands.

I've also been taking her to some music classes and play groups that she absolutely adores. She was in the middle of the circle at music class jumping up and down in lotus position dancing to the music. Wanted nothing to do with me. Every once in a while she would look over to make sure I was still around. Thank you for the independence! Don't worry, she still gives me snuggles when she's tired and I love those moments.

She discovered sliding on the hardwoods. This is her sliding with her new fancy pants. Did I mention that it's freezing in this city? Hence the huge oversized snow suite that Poppy is wearing. Gotta do what you gotta do when your fingers are numb.
