Wren is walking!

Cameron and I left baby Wren with Zsa Zsa and Papa over the weekend to go skiing in Colorado, and we came back home to a little toddler! She has gotten so good at walking the past few days! Here are a couple videos from the weekend. Who needs flying lessons? Look, Papa, no hands! Sharing her dinner with Oscar :/ Helping Mama pick out her outfit in the morning Wren's outgrown her infant bathtub! She LOVES baths in the tub I don't know how Oscar tolerates it

11 months, first swim lesson

Wren turned 11 months last week! She is turning out to be a pretty good eater. We've slowly started reintroducing her to dairy and she seems to be tolerating it well, so fingers crossed her dairy allergy is behind her. Some of her new favorite foods are bread (who doesn't love bread, girlfriend?), turkey & dressing, tamales, grilled chicken, and her go-to favorites are still green beans, avocados and tomatoes. She even tried salmon and tilapia at lunch yesterday and enjoyed both. The only thing she's refused so far is beets. Can't really blame ya, Wren - beets are an acquired taste for most! Wren understands the concept of sharing - especially with her big brother Oscar. Sometimes she'll alternate between taking a bite of food and handing a piece to Oscar. Oscar all of a sudden is learning to tolerate Wren's hair pulling and attention hogging much better lately... Wren took her first swim lesson yesterday and really enjoyed it. Our litt...

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. Flying on Papa's plane The whole Poth clan 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...

10 months, Santa is scary

Wren turned 10 months this month! She is fully recovered from the flu, although the past month she's still kept us on her toes. She's been really fussy the past few weeks and has been waking up in the 5:00s vs her normal 6:30. She's in a leap according to the Wonder Weeks app, but now I'm doubting the science behind it since the pediatrician couldn't confirm there's any real proof for leaps. All of Wren's sleep regressions have been temporary thus far, so hopefully this too will pass and we'll all be rested again soon. Just doing some daily "reading" We continue to introduce Wren to solid foods, although it appears she's still allergic to milk. She's successfully been eating table foods like black beans, vegetables, eggs and even a pork tamale, but she threw up after I gave her a few pieces of pizza over the weekend. I'll wait a few weeks and try dairy again, next time with something less aggressive than pizza! ...
