It is always a little surreal when the baby turns one. It has a been such a fast year and it is hard to even remember when Wren wasn't a part of our family. And then at the same time it is still a little strange we have another baby. Another person in our family. The other day at the dinner table I was excited looking toward the future, wondering what it will be like with Wren sitting and talking and eating with us, just like everyone else. I wonder what dynamic she will bring. She sure brings a pretty strong one now.
We had a pretty low key birthday for her. We went to the library for story time and then Wren took a nap while we blew up a couple of balloons. She loves balloons. Court came home and made a doggy cake. Wren loves all animals, especially dogs. She makes a little woofing, panting sound whenever she sees one. We then let Wren eat her cake and that was her birthday. I didn't really even buy her any presents. Pretty bad, but she doesn't need anything and doesn't really care, right? Hopefully she won't remember her boring 1st birthday. She is a sweet baby and we love her. She does scream a lot and it is really loud and ear piercing, but we love her in our family. She is so fun to be with and is always so expressive and full of life.
We also had a nice labor day weekend. We explored Lolo Creek and had a nice picnic dinner surrounded by trees.
On Monday, we went up to Seely Lake with some friends from the Ward. Along the shore is a nice beach area and the kids loved the sand and cold water. We also had fun exploring the lily pads. We ate dinner at a dock side burger joint. A nice Montana weekend.
