A big weekend for our big girl

Wren experienced two "firsts" this weekend - she got her first big girl bed, and she saw her first Broadway show!

She is thrilled about sleeping in her new bed, and fingers crossed our bedtime battles will be less dramatic from here on.

Wren also saw her first Broadway musical yesterday. Baba bought us tickets to see Frozen at Music Hall at Fair Park. She loved it! I was emotional watching Wren take in the characters, music and dancing. I was so proud that she behaved during the performance and lasted the whole play. It was a late show, and she pushed through her tiredness.

Lake and Beach

We are certain of one thing about Wren lately - she is a water baby! The past few weeks we've taken trips to Lake Travis and to the Panama City Beach area of Florida with Wren. To say she loves the water is an understatement. We visited Lake Travis with Cam's family, where Wren took her first boat ride and swam in the lake. She was a little apprehensive at first, but then she had a blast "jumping" into the water from the boat. Lake life suited Oscar as well. Who needs a boating license? Lake life is exhausting Larry was kind enough to fly us to Florida so we didn't have to make the brutal choice of braving the COVID-19 crowds at the airport or a 14-hour car ride with a toddler. This allowed us to bring Oscar to the beach with us too! This was our third annual trip "crashing" Mark and Jordan's combined family vacation. It's a special trip for us because we love watching Mark's four niece

9 months, first haircut

Our little birdie turned 9 months last week! She is riding all around the house in her walker, climbing stairs, pushing her sit-to-stand walker around the house, and most recently, eating three meals a day. We saw her GI specialist last week and made plans to slowly reintroduce her to dairy and soy next month. If that goes well, she might soon be able to start eating off the big kids' menu at daycare. One of my favorite new parts of the day with Wren is meal time. We went to Dream Cafe on Saturday and sat on the patio with Oscar. Wren got to order "off the menu" for the first time; she ordered a side of avocado and black beans. ;) She LOVES tomatoes - I cut cherry tomatoes into little bite-sized pieces for her, and she picks them up with her fingers and shoves them into her mouth. I'm looking forward to her being more like a little girl and less of a baby. Wren also got her first haircut last weekend! She sat on Cam's lap and laughed at herse

Milestones on Milestones

...and we're mobile. I've been trying to challenge Wren to crawl the past couple months by placing toys in front of her, and until recently, she had been hesitant and frustrated. Last Friday, she just went for it! She's officially mobile, which Cameron is not too thrilled about. :) Wren has reached several fun new milestones this month! Aside from crawling, she's standing up supported and feeding herself her bottle. I picked her up from daycare last week and she was just chillin' on a Boppy feeding herself a bottle. I looked at the teacher wide-eyed and asked, "she's feeding herself?", and she nonchalantly replied, "Oh yeah, she's been doing that for two weeks now..." I guess we've just been spoiling her too much at home. <3 Wren appears to have a boyfriend at daycare. She always appears in pictures with the same boy, Augustus, and when I joked with the teachers about it, they confirmed that she loves hanging
