Baby Girl Poth

Wren is going through such a fun, joyful stage right now. It seems that she's always happy, and everything we say or do makes her laugh. Oscar is sure to crack her up every time he looks in her direction- it's the cutest thing! We are still giving Wren new foods to explore. Since the last update she's tried pears, pumpkin, green beans, and apples, and she's been a fan of it all. We're taking it easy on the carrots for a while because they seemed to make her a little uncomfortable. Wren attended her first birthday party last week (Happy 1st Birthday, Sloane!), and she recently graduated to the big girl seat in her stroller. She has become a consistent sleeper - down at 7pm, up around 6:15am, and three naps a day. We're getting the hang of life with Wren, and she lights it up for us. <3 First walk in her big girl stroller Hanging with the big girls at daycare!

Wren has made it halfway around the sun! What a month it's been in terms of milestones. In the past few weeks, Wren has started solid foods, can sit up by herself for a short time, and has possibly muttered "dada" a few times. Who has crazier hair in the morning? Wren hasn't tasted a food she doesn't like yet (she takes after her mom in that area). Feeding her solid foods has been so fun the past week. She's getting the hang of the spoon, and I find pleasure in watching her explore new flavors and textures. Our GI has instructed us to wait five days after introducing a new food to make sure she doesn't have any reactions; so far Wren's eaten rice cereal, sweet potatoes and carrots. Sweet potatoes rule. Cameron went to Vegas with his friends last weekend, so Wren and I spent the weekend at Babcia and Dziadziu's house. Wren's "talking" is starting to sound more and more like human...

Wren has brought so much joy the past couple of weeks. At almost six months old, she's starting to show us her personality. She is happy most of the time and gives us the sweetest smiles and giggles. She has started taking an interest in Oscar, and will extend her hand to pet him and giggle when she sees him now. It melts my heart! We've started feeding her rice cereal in the morning and she's tolerating it well. This week we're going to increase the rice cereal to twice a day, and we'll start experimenting with solid food next week. We left her with my parents last weekend while we went to Austin for a wedding. We enjoyed being baby-free and sleeping in for two days, but I was anxious to see her by Sunday afternoon. We're so lucky to have two sets of grandparents who will gladly take care of our little birdie for us. I can't imagine doing this all by ourselves.

Wren turned five months on Monday! We've had a busy couple of weeks. Wren took two road trips to San Antonio within one week -one for Chris and Ashli's wedding, and another to stay with Zsa Zsa and Papa while Cam and I visited our friends in Colorado. She handled it well for the most part, but I think she's had enough of her carseat for a while. Wren has started reaching for our faces and identifying objects more clearly. She now shows an interest in Oscar and will reach out to pet him. I imagine he'll start showing more interest in her this month when we start introducing her to table food! Cam and I really love Wren's new daycare. They have put her on a schedule of eating, playing, then sleeping (long naps - the kind we couldn't get her to do at home by ourselves!). Each  morning when I drop her off she is delighted to see her teachers' faces, and she is usually still smiling when I pick her up in the afternoon. Her teacher...
