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 son,” 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 35-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.
