Tough Girl Teddy

Tiny Turnip Player Spotlight
Inspiration for our Tiny Turnip Characters comes from YOU!

Introducing a new Tiny Turnip Character in our Spring 2013 line up, Tough Girl Teddy. Not only strong and brave, but fun loving and sweet. Ready to tackle whatever comes her way, head on! Inspired by little Theodora (Teddy) Bailey, the daughter of Boston Red Sox pitcher, Andrew Bailey and his wife Amanda. 

The most amazing gift to her parents, Teddy came into the world 6 weeks premature.  Knowing she would need to stay in the hospital for precautionary reasons, they still were not expecting what came next. Within 24 hours of her new life, Teddy had to undergo surgery and endure many other challenges. As new parents Amanda and Andrew were consumed with emotion. They turned to each other, their families and God.  Knowing that God had a plan for Teddy and trusting He would watch over her. 

Today, Teddy is a beautiful, happy and healthy 6 month old baby girl. She loves to sing songs and of course, eat toys. She is one of the toughest little cookies that her parents know, and like all cookies, she is oozing with sweetness!  Her mother Amanda, says," Teddy reminds me each and every day to be thankful to God, And that with faith anything is possible."
