Baby's first Christmas

Wren celebrated multiple family Christmases this year. Her first celebration was Ranch Christmas at Cameron's family's ranch in McCoy, TX. She got to meet and play with all of Cam's cousins' kids around her age and get her first taste of ranch life.

Wren's next Christmas was at Babcia and Dziadziu's house in Cedar Hill. She had a semi-traditional Polish Wigilia with barszcz with ushka, pierogi, and kutia for dessert. Babcia bought her an airplane for Christmas and she enjoyed dancing with me, Babcia and Oscar around the tree to Christmas music.

Mmm, pierogi

We celebrated with Melissa's family in Falls City on Christmas Eve. Wren got to spend time with her Great Grandpa Balser who visited from the nursing home, and tried her luck with her first lottery ticket (she didn't win, but both Mama and Dad did!). She ate one of her favorite foods - tamales!

Finally, she spent Christmas Day at Zsa Zsa and Papa's house in Floresville where Santa was very good to her. She got lots of toys from Zsa Zsa and cute clothes and pajamas from Aunt Poppy. I loved seeing her interact with her cousins Cash and Walker. Cash shows SO much interest in Wren, it's so adorable.

After Christmas, we left Wren with Zsa Zsa and Papa and visited Chile for six nights. It was a little hard for me to be away from Wren for so long, but we had a great time visiting wineries in two different wine regions and ringing in the new year in Santiago. We were able to spend one full weekend in Dallas with Wren before returning to work today after a long two-week break. It's officially back to the real world. Happy 2020, friends and family!

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...
