Update on the kiddos -

I can't believe it's been 4 months since I held my tiny boy for the first time. I know I say this all the time, but time is flying right by. Darren is such a big little boy now.


Age: 4 months old
Weight & Height: 12.12 lbs [10th percentile for weight] & 24.5 inches [25-50th percentile for height] 
Sleep: 6-7 hours at night, then up every 2-3 hours. During the day he has one good nap then 10 minute naps throughout the day. Mostly because he likes to be held and I can't always hold him and so he stays awake. Bless him. 
Clothes: Wearing mostly 0-3 month clothes, every once in a while I squeeze him into a newborn onesie. :) 

Lately Darren has been playing with his hanging toys on his play mat. He loves his little Zebra and often smiles and laughs at himself in the mirror. He smiles and coos a lot. He is currently holding his head up very high, cooing, and trying to roll over. He is acting like he wants to, but can't get past his side. Ha. Darren also loves to sleep on his belly, which he gets to do during nap time. He also loves sucking his fist and typically can't keep them out of his mouth or away from his face. He is such a happy baby!! "Smiling's my favorite"

St. Patty's Day 

Winnie loves Darren more and more every day. It's beautiful to watch. She hugs him, tickles his toes, tries to flip him over we don't like that part ;) , and plays pretend baby with her dolls. Often you see her doll's laying next to Darren on his play mat. It's adorable! I hope they grow up to be best buds!! 



Winnie is doing really well. She is our busy girl, always energetic, always on the go, very busy with her imagination, which we love, talking a ton, saying 2-3 word sentences. It's so fun talking with her and asking her questions. Also, she's almost TWO! Nuts. 


Age: 21 months old
Weight: 24 lbs ... she loves stepping on our scale. haha. 
[Current] Favorite Book: Little Blue Truck ["beep beep"], Goodnight Moon, and .... really all books. Winnie loves to read!!
Favorite Animal[s]: Elephants, Dogs, & Birds
Favorites / loves: Dance parties, story time at the Library, buses, the park, slides, the movie Frozen, "me baby" [Darren] and her baby dolls, play dates with friends, playing outside, bubbles, bath time.... so much more! 
New words: bus, slide, purple, down low, up high, boo boo, doctor, elephant, heart, star, bubble, dinner, buckle, please... just to name a few. ;)
Foods: Turkey lunch meat, craisins, bananas, avocados, hot dogs, .. she's been a little pickier these last few weeks, hopefully it's just a season. :)

4 whole months!!!

Winnie girl is FOUR months old! Wowza. Time is flying by. Since my last update on Winnie we went through week 16... it was hard hard hard. On a small side of the spectrum she had a cold/ high temperature... We visited the Doctor 4 times this past month [only 1 visit being her 4 month check up today]. Having a sick baby is the saddest thing in the world! Thankfully she is feeling almost all better! Thankfully, God is so faithful and compassionate and He is Comfort and Peace and everything Good!!!

big girl 
Can I just say, I cherish her life so so much!!! She is a gift and a blessing and a miracle and the biggest JOY! Praise the Lord!!

thanks Grandma Sandy & Bumpa

doesn't get much better than this <3 <3
dream come true for me: dressing my little girl up
tutus, ruffles & bows !!

Winnie is 14 lbs, 10 oz (75th percentile) and 25.75 inches (95th percentile).  She is on track with development and meeting all of her milestone. She is starting to do tons of ab crunches which tells us she wants to sit up. Almost there baby. She started rolling from tummy to back this week (already rolling from back to tummy for a while now), continually sucking her fingers and hands and drooling everywhere, talking talking talking, and belly laughing for us. I am also pushing her little knees up so she is on all 4s so she can figure out crawling soon. ;) I can't believe how big she's getting!

Oh and this past month Taylor and I went to my friend Megan's wedding. We got dressed up!! It was fun!! [!!!!!!] :-D

my boyfriend

We're apple and pumpkin picking this weekend. Can't wait to share pictures with you!!
