Spring 2021 Update

We are well over a year into the pandemic, and there are signs of hope in DFW. Both Cameron and I have received both doses of Pfizer, so now we and both sets of grandparents are fully vaccinated. Most of our friends have received at least their first vaccine, too. 


Elliot was visiting and her mama put her on a blanket, so Wren brought her a baby and joined her. ;)

Reading with Baba


We received some sad news from Wren's daycare last week. They are closing permanently at the end of May, but we were lucky enough to receive a spot at a nearby sister campus. Wren starts at her new campus next Monday, May 3. We anticipate it will be a difficult adjustment for her, so we're trying to warm her up to it by talking about her "new school" and showing her the campus and playground ahead of time. Wren LOVES her teachers and her classmates, so we hope the transition won't be too hard on her.

    




We've spent many beautiful Spring days of Dallas outdoors at the Arboretum, Klyde Warren Park, the neighborhood parks and the Fort Worth Zoo. We also tagged along on Cam's family vacation to Crested Butte in March when Wren's classroom was closed due to a positive COVID-19 case.

We're going up the quad and to the gymnasium!

Wren is flirting with potty training. Some of her older classmates are potty trained, so she's determined to "go potty" like they do. She pulls down her pants and pretends to go into the bathroom and potty, but so far she hasn't connected the biology to it. ;) Hopefully we'll get there soon.




Wren's speech has exploded the past couple of months. I feel like I'm talking to an ordinary little human when we're having a conversation sometimes. She speaks in full sentences and seems to pick up multiple new words every day. She loves playing "doctor", baby dolls, singing songs (ABCs and Rock a Bye Baby are a couple faves), going on walks, reading books, and dogs. Oh my goodness, she loves all of the neighborhood dogs.

Daddy sick.

Daddy all better now.








Wren lights our lives up every day, and we're so lucky she's ours. :)

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...

Fall 2021 Photos

 Wren stole the show for our family photos this year. Look at this little doll. <3

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...
