We had a lovely few days back in Dorking for Christmas/Boxing Day. Poppy loved playing with her cousins Evie and Finley, and spending some quality time with Nanny, Grandad and her uncles and aunts.
Poppy understood Christmas a bit more this year, which was really cute to watch. She helped decorate the tree, wrap presents (even her own - she was still surprised when she opened them!), and fill the stockings. She loved opening her presents on Christmas morning and opened most of mummy's presents as well 😉
Christmas Eve presents from grandma and grandpa - surprise it was pajamas!
Christmas morning!
The Peppa Pig air bed was a big hit! Thanks Auntie Katie and Uncle Andrew!
After a few weeks of horrendous sleep for Poppy (and consequently horrendous sleep for Mat and I!), she has finally decided to give us a break. She's going down to sleep without a battle and is only waking up once or twice - and then going back to sleep in ber crib. I know what you're thinking "Allie, she's almost 2. She should be sleeping through the night!".. well she doesn't! And she never really has.. but I read somewhere once that babies/toddlers who wake up frequently in the night are extra intelligent so I'm clutching onto that. Plus when baby number 2 comes none of us will be sleeping anyway!
Speaking of baby number 2, all's well in the womb. We're 30 weeks this weekend. Baby is growing, kicking, and giving me lots of heartburn! I've been craving salt - olives, soy sauce, crisps. Only one month of work left and then we're in the homestretch! I have some holiday to take so I'll take that in Feb and then start maternity leave in March.. and hopefully Baby will be here sooner rather than later!
One more photo of little Pops..
She is so cute :)
Hope everyone has a happy new year!
