2-year-old Summer

We have had an eventful summer with our silly, spirited 2-year-old. Wren's transition to her new daycare went very smoothly. She loves her new school, friends and teachers, and didn't go through a rough time switching schools as we had anticipated. The new center is closer to our home and less expensive, so all-around it was a positive change for all of us.

Last day at Medical City

First week at Dealey with a new friend

Wren has experienced lots of fun new places this summer. We've been to the Dallas Aquarium, Six Flags, the Fort Worth Zoo again, a Rangers game, and Wren's first pool party. Wren discovered hot dogs at the Rangers game and they might be her new favorite food. She loved cheering with the crowd for the Rangers!

First time at the Dallas World Aquarium

First time at Six Flags. We're Season Pass holders now!

NOT a fan of the Ferris Wheel

Definitely a fan of "The Boot". We rode this 6 or 7 times.

Fort Worth Zoo. She loves reptiles.

Deep talks with Dad

We visited the 30A area in Florida this year with Mark and Jordan's families. Wren loved the pool and being IN the ocean, but was afraid of the sand this year. We'll have to work on that. ;) She was old enough this year to communicate and play with all of the other kids in the house, and she enjoyed staying up late and "watching movies" with the girls. It was cute.

Plane ride to Florida. Wren did great!

A box and a pair of adult flip flops. What more does a toddler need to play with?

Hop in, we goin to da beach!

Movie night

Bye bye, Florida!

We recently went to Lake Travis to celebrate Wes' 40th birthday. Wren had the time of her life at the lake house. She loved swimming in the lake, splashing around in her pool, and playing in the yard with the other kids. Cam and I have our eyes set on a lake house now so that we can recreate this experience for her as she grows up. 

Developmentally, Wren blows my mind right now. Her speech is developing so rapidly, and she seems like more and more of a young lady each day. She is going through a bit of a separation anxiety phase. She cries fiercely and dramatically for Mama when we put her down at night, and she's really grumpy when she wakes up in the morning. She's really into The Big Bad Wolf right now; she's partially terrified and partially intrigued by him. She also loves singing, baby dolls, and reading books. She's a good eater when she wants to be, but she's kind of fickle lately. She'll try everything at least once, but even when she's decided she likes something, she may not like it the next day. I am really proud that she eats her veggies and flabbergasted that she doesn't like chocolate like her mama. We are so proud of this funny little human and lucky to call her ours.
