Hyper Poppy!

Poppy has been both snotty and hyper today!

Hopefully it is not the start of yet another cold or virus, with any luck it means that the horrible rubbish in her lungs and tubes is making its way out of her body and that she can have some respite from it. Please God it will not mean another visit to hospital. I know she has sneezed all day, with unpleasant results, but at least her body is ridding itself of the horrible effects the colds and virus have had on her!

She has also been hyper all day, she cannot quite walk as yet but boy can she climb! She is constantly climbing on the chairs, sofa, toy basket, Grandma! At least she has now learnt how to get safely back down from the chairs and sofas, rather than launching herself off head first as she used to! She turns herself carefully around and gets down feet first now, much more preferable than the leap into the unknown she used to attempt!

Walking is obviously not as fast as crawling for Poppy so, although we encourage her to give it a go and walk, if she wants to get anywhere fast she just gets down on to her hands and knees and heads off! She was standing just in front of me today so Grandad got down on bended knee and tried to encourage her to walk to him, instead she bent forwards as far as she could until she managed to grab his hands! She will do it when she is ready, you don`t see many adults crawling around do you?!

So I am a worn out Grandma today, having been climbed on, sneezed on, jumped all over and generally lead a merry dance! She never stops, except for when she is asleep, a little miracle. Thats what the doctors called her when she was born ten weeks early, thats what she is!
