Five Months!



Our girl is five months old! As you can see, she's working on sitting up on her own. We call this her 'tripod'. She is smiling and laughing more than ever and everyone she meets falls in love instantly. Can you blame them?

Another again...

Getting Daly dressed the other day, I realized I had put her in the exact same outfit she wore home from the hospital...



5 months later (with a little personality!)...

Leavin on a jet plane...

I absolutely love to see the nervous looks on peoples' faces when I walk down the middle aisle of a plane with this little girl...diaper bag on my arm, blanket, woobie, and rattle in my hands, her binkie around my finger. I can read their minds...'please don't sit here, please don't sit here, maybe if I don't make eye contact, she won't sit next to me."



When we do eventually sit down, our girl changes their minds instantly. If she's awake on the plane, which is rare, she has everyone smiling, soaking up what a joyful baby she is.



Daly is a great traveler, and enjoys it even more now that she can sit up and see what's going on outside the window.

Downtown Aquarium

Daly had her first trip to the aquarium here in Houston. We had a great time seeing all wildlife! Not only underwater creatures, but snakes, crocodiles, spiders, birds, iguanas, and even two white tigers!





Daly and her lion fish...she was fascinated by all the movement...



Ryan and Daly crawled under the sting ray tank to get a different perspective...



Our little deep sea diver...



Training to take her place with Siegfried and Roy...



We ended the day with a train ride through the shark tunnel...



...and then got caught in a huge thunderstorm...Daly's favorite part of the day...

Dave Matthews!

My mother's day gift from Ryan and Daly was a babysitter (thanks mom!) and tickets to the Dave Matthews concert in Houston. Absolutely incredible. The venue was really cool and Dave was fantastic as usual. And even though they aren't Ryan's favorite, we both had an awesome time.



Love that eyebrow...



I have an amazingly thoughtful husband. Thanks for an unforgettable first mother's day dude!
