We went to the Central Park Zoo for Poppy's Birthday. I think she was a little confused by everything but still had a great time being out with everyone (I think). Well, I checked the weather before we left and it said it was 40 degrees which isn't too bad...so, we didn't put Poppy's snow suit on and it we FREEZING. The wind got us good. The poor little thing froze her buns off and I'm pretty sure got a fever as a result. Yes, still trying to figure this mom thing out. At least she won't remember this birthday. The photos are deceiving.
On February 18th 2009, Poppy Wallace Soffe was born in the New York Downtown Hospital at 2:59AM. She came into this world with long finger nails, a head full of blonde hair, and was ready to party (by party I mean keep us up all hours of the night). It took me a few hours to really soak in that she was actually ours and I had to take care of her, but once I had some time to bond with this little human, I fell in love. She is the sweetest little human I have ever known (I know cheesy...sorry) and makes us crack up constantly. She is the best sleeper ever, loves blue berries and Yo Gabba Gabba, and smells like the best treat ever...like milk chocolate or peanut butter ice cream. Happy Birthday Poppy!
Yesterday morning I was walking to a meeting with Reyn and Poppy and we saw this. Well, this is post the huge explosion that happened right before our eyes. It was super sad for the building and people who own the building...but it was pretty amazing to see something that movie set like in real life. The explosion was so big that the mail man just up and ditched his mail bag and ran away? We had to pick up his mail? We also saw an old man dressed in a woman's sparkly dress and makeup with a pink poodle who was getting dressed in its winter coat checking things out. It was crazy and awesome and the same time.
After the meeting we went back to check things out and this is what happened on the street. Check out this news clip of Reyn and Poppy. Just incase you were wondering, Poppy is now a 7 month old baby boy who likes to dress in little girl pink outfits. Oh, and I have gone missing. We were both buckled over cry laughing when we saw this. Laughing so hard that I now have a pinched nerve and I can barley move my neck and shoulder. Maybe when I disappeared my body was taken over and I now have lost all functionality. Darn.
These photos were taken by our friend and photographer Trevor Owsley. He doesn't normally shoot little kids (as you can see on his site) but he was super nice and took some photos of this little munchkin.
Those of you who live with no back yard, this is for you. I think this is a brilliant design. Would love to have one some day. Designed by Xavier Calluaud.
