Winnie Ann

Winnie girl is 16 months old and in full-swing toddler mode. Winnie's joy for life and big imagination at such a young age continues to amaze us. We love watching her learn and process so many new things we teach her. This is such a fun age!!

She loves to smell flowers :)

Fun facts about Winnie: 

• Winnie loves apple juice. She would drink it all day long if I let her. 
• We are currently transitioning her from bottles to sippy cups for milk. She's not a huge fan, which makes drinking milk during the day pretty much nonexistent. We are still doing her bottle at night for now.  
• Mommy & Daddy's favorite words she is currently saying are "Uh-Oh" and "Thank You". It's the best!! She has a little bit of a southern twang when she says uh oh, it's hilarious. 
• Winnie hugs and kisses my belly when we talk about her baby brother Darren :)
• I'm gonna go ahead and say her favorite season is Fall since we are spending more time outside because of this amazing weather. 
• Winnie loves the park, running around our driveway picking up sticks, taking our neighbor boys basketball, and playing with her friends.
• Winnie truly dislikes having dirty hands or anything on her hands for that matter. 
• She loves books, we read through them all the live long day. I have almost all of them memorized. haha
• She also loves puzzles and has recently started taking them apart and putting them back in the right places!
• Winnie plays picnic multiple times a day on our bay window bench. It's so adorable!!
• Winnie's all time favorite show is hands down, Barney. Her excitement is amazing even if you just say his name. 
• She had her first weekend away at her grandparents house this month. She did amazing! 
• Winnie is also our wanna-be-chef. She loves being held while we cook or standing on a chair watching/helping with whatever I'm making. 
• Over the past 2 weeks Winnie has cut 4 new teeth, grew in inches [30 something inches now], and is just about out of her size 5 shoes.
