Quick update on Winnie. . .

Blogging will probably be slower for the next little bit because I am currently learning how to be Mama to 2, but here's a quick update on our Winnie. :)

Winnie is doing surprisingly well and let me tell you, the child has gone through more changes in the past month than any adult could cheerfully handle. She has been cheerful, with moments of weakness. Normal. I am so impressed and so thankful because I was very worried she would not like Darren and that she would hate me for changing things up. Man how I love being wrong about that!

She loves Darren. She wakes up and says "baby" until she sees him. They have very little interactions because she doesn't know her boundaries or her own strength, but the few times she has held him or kissed him or hugged him, she was tender and sweet. She also picks up her baby doll and bottle and carries her around and feeds her when I feed Darren. It's so adorable!!

On the flip side of those affections, she had one moment where she smacked Darren across the face... yep. And then another moment where she tripped over my feet and fell right on his face. Thankfully Darren is okay!! She was also struggling falling asleep since we've come home from the hospital and had started hitting us. The Dr. said it's probably just her way of "acting out" with all the changes and new baby. It has gotten a little better in the past few days though!
