Merry Christmas!

Two weeks ago, Taylor, Winnie, and I headed North for a vacation with my family. I love spending time with my family. It's always an event, it's always loud, it's always fun. We had such a great time with them!! Thank you guys for everything!

Christmas Day was spent at home, simple and relaxing. We took our time making breakfast, making traditions, playing with Winnie and resting together as a family. We headed to B&G's that afternoon for our [fourth] huge dinner of the season. No more turkey and ham and potatoes for a little while!

As for Winnie, this has been the month of firsts. She started crawling on all 4s while in Delaware, she started playing in the tub splashing water and having so much fun, she learned how to sit up on her own, and she crawled to me while I was in the kitchen while fussing because she needed me for the first time. [It was adorable!] She is 17 lbs, eating all kinds of foods, and we're expecting a tooth any day now [she's showing more signs of teething- fever, drool, fussy, and chewing on everything].

Here are lots of pictures that captured our Christmas :)

1/2 Birthday

Little lady Winnie is 6 months old!!!

6 months old!
my baby <3
Winnie had her check up today. She weighs 16 lbs 11 ounces and is 26.25 inches long. She is healthy and growing strong! The only thing Winnie is starting to struggle with is stranger and separation anxiety. Bless her.

In my last post I shared how Winnie is doing. Nothing much has changed in the week... she is crawling and eager to move all over the place, eating solids, babbling a lot, laughing a lot, and showing so much personality.  :)

We had Christmas with the Browns this past weekend. The following are pictures from our fun time together.
