Gymboree!

Gymboree has been such a fun adventure for both Daly and me. Not only is Daly learning about her body, her movements, and the world around her, she's already becoming very social with the other babies. She loves just being close to her new friends! I'm really enjoying our mom and daughter time together and meeting other parents in the area with kids close to Daly's age. My mom took me to Gymboree when I was just a little older than Daly is now, so I knew it was something I wanted to experience with my little girl...



Tummy time in front of a big mirror strengthens neck, back, and core muscles, along with giving the babies a chance for socialization...



Daly LOVES her bubbles! She is very attentive and alert as Ms. Ellen blows tons of little bubbles at her...



Then we get to "pop, pop, pop those bubbles" on the parachute...



At the end of every class, Gymbo the Clown sings goodbye and blows kisses to each baby. See you next week, Gymbo!

San Antonio

Last weekend, while Ryan was traveling with the team, Grandma Trish, Daly and I drove up to San Antonio. We had a beautiful view of the River Walk.



On our second morning, we took a tour on a river boat. It was a beautiful (and very hot!) day. Daly really enjoyed the first ten minutes...then fell sound asleep!





Before we left San Antonio, we made sure to "Remember the Alamo". It was an amazing tour through a major event in our nation's history. My mom and I learned a lot, and Daly....no surprise....had a nice, relaxing nap.



I had already packed Daly's cute little white hat (see river pictures), so Grandma had an excuse to buy her another cute little hat...of the Texas armadillo variety.



Great girls' weekend!! Thanks, Mom!

Kemah Boardwalk



Grandma Trish has come to visit us in Houston! The four of us drove to the Gulf to spend time at the Kemah Boardwalk. They have great restaurants and lots of fun carnival rides.





Daly had her first ride on a train!

First Comets Game!

Daly got to see her first Comets game! She was more interested in the lights above the court and watching the people sitting around us, but I'm sure she'll get into the basketball soon enough. It was a tough overtime loss.



Daly and I made her onesie! She was very excited to show off her creative side!

Two Months Old!



Our girl is two months old! Daly is smiling often, staying awake more during the day, getting much much stronger, and continuing to build her little personality!
