Bird about town

Things are slowly starting to turn a corner with our little bird. She started daycare last week, and her night sleep has immediately improved. They must wear her out all day long, because the past week she slept a 7.5 hour stretch (8:30 pm - 4:00 am) and an 8 hour stretch (9:00 p.m. - 5 a.m.)!

While she still has fussy days, she is getting manageable enough to take out in public. I took Wren to lunch with my old boss in Richardson Friday afternoon and we sat on the patio with little fuss. We took her to Truck Yard on Friday night and she loved being out in the fresh air and soaking up all the attention. It used to be Oscar who was the star of the show at Truck Yard - now he has to share it with his sister! :D Saturday morning we took her to brunch at The Rustic with a couple friends, and we felt more like ourselves pre-Wren. It was refreshing!

The one challenge we're facing with daycare is it's a really long commute for me to/from Carrollton with Wren crying in her car seat. We're looking for alternative daycares closer to our home, or perhaps a nanny to stay with us this summer while we wait to get in somewhere closer. Child care is so competitive in Dallas; it's impossible to get into a decent daycare without being waitlisted.

4 month photo dump

I have neglected updating Wren’s blog for several moths, so here is a huge photo dump featuring Christmas, her 3rd birthday, and first time skiing in Crested Butte. Our little one has such a funny little personality. Right now she’s really into cooking and food toys, and she’s turning out to be kind of a girly girl. She insists that everything is “pink”, and the books she picks at bedtimes are typically princess books and fairy tales. She continues to be obsessed with the big bad wolf and witches. Her favorite food is French fries, but she fortunately does a good job cleaning up her fruits and veggies too. When she turned 3, she told us she would now like to have coffee, beer and wine. 😂  She skied for the first time in Crested Butte in February with Cam’s family and loved it. She kept telling her ski instructors that she wanted to “go fast!” She loves her cousins Cash and Walker dearly and thinks they are super cool.  First date  Arboretum Christmas village  Taking...

Summer into Fall

We've had some pretty big developments since my last update. A few days after my last post, Wren began crawling out of her crib and transitioned into a big girl bed! It's been an exhausting 2 1/2 months. She fights like crazy at night to get into bed, and for several weeks she was waking up in the middle of the night and running into our room. Things have improved, but she's still adjusting! We went to Miami with Baba and Yaya in July. They were such great help with Wren, so Cam and I had a little time to relax. Wren loved staying in her "house" with Baba and Yaya and swimming in the hotel pool. She's still not a huge fan of the beach! Wren has been doing great with her potty training! She only wears Pull-Ups at night and has few accidents these days. I was bribing her with toys every time she peed or pooped in the potty, but lately I've had to up it to chocolate or cookies. She's developing a sweet tooth like her mama after all. ;) Wren spent a lot of...
