Poppy Montgomery Dishes on Her Boundary-Pushing Boy

Time moves fast, and Poppy Montgomery wants to make the most of hers with son Jackson Phillip Deveraux, 20 months. “I have been working since he was born,” she told Celebrity Baby Blog at the Pink Party to benefit the Cedars-Sinai Women’s Cancer Research Institute in Los Angeles on Saturday, “so I am going to take the rest of this year just to be with him.”

Although she will “re-evaluate” the situation in January when Jackson begins preschool, for now the twosome have been passing the time much like any other mother and son. “We’re just hanging out,” Poppy shares. “We have a toddler group and we go to the park…I’m just ‘Mom,’ which has been really fun for me.”

Most of the time! Jackson is “testing every boundary under the sun,” Poppy concedes before adding:

“Everything he is not supposed to do, he wants to do. I’m like, ‘Good for you, buck the system, rebel!’”

When it comes to reclaiming her pre-baby body, Poppy says there is no magic answer — just “really hard work.” Staying in shape is “not easy” for the 37-year-old former Without A Trace star, and life with a newborn wasn’t conducive to her weight-loss regimen.

“It’s harder because it’s easier to eat fast food with the baby because you never have your hands free, you’re always sort of grabbing,” she notes. “You have to force yourself to sit down and eat well.”

As for her advice to other new moms, Poppy says to remember that you’re not alone.

“It’s really hard, and everyone goes through it, I don’t think it’s easy for any woman. So if you feel like it’s impossible, we all felt that way.”

Jackson is Poppy’s son with partner Adam Kaufman.

Dancing Dad Tony Dovolani Heads Back to the Ballroom

For Tony Dovolani, this month not only marked the start of a new season of Dancing With the Stars, it meant celebrating two milestones. His twins Adrian and Ariana turned one on September 8th, and that same day, he took his older daughter, Luana, to her first day of preschool.

How did the hunky Dancing With the Stars pro handle the big events?

“I cried my eyes out. I’m a weeper,” Tony, 36, confesses to Celebrity Baby Blog. “I may look like I’m hard, but I’m not.”

The twins’ first birthday was a small fête with his wife, Lina, and their family in attendance. The fun part of the day was lighting candles on a Diego and Dora the Explorer themed cake for the kids. The not-so-fun part? The twins’ first-year checkup.

“All they got for their birthday was two vaccines each,” he says, laughing. “They cried and I cried along with them. But they were good afterwards.”

The twins’ personalities have started to emerge, the dance champ says. “My son, Adrian, is incredibly cool and calm. And Ariana is feisty, as I want her to be, taking after her big sister a bit. They are starting to walk with help. They take a step or two and we go ‘yay!’”

And when Daddy sent 4-year-old Luana off to preschool the first day, he was impressed with how un-traumatic the event was for her.

“It’s six hours each day, two days a week and I’m thinking, ‘Man, that’s a long day.’ But my wife reminded me she’s used to going on planes, traveling to see me in L.A., so she’s kind of worldly,” Tony says. “I went in there and the other kids were crying and she was like, ‘Okay, see you later.’ She was so cool about it. I love that my girl has such a strong personality and she can be so firm on her feet even at four years old.”

As for Tony, he was a mess. “I went to the car and cried and cried. My wife was going, ‘Will you get a hold of yourself?’”

Dancing With the Stars premieres tonight at 8 p.m. EST on ABC. Tony is partnered with Kathy Ireland.
