I finally caught some smiles on camera! As you can tell from the footage, Wren loves to be on her changing table. We have had some great playtime there!

Got Milk?
Wren's newest accomplishment is holding her bottle. I don't think she did it on purpose, but it was so cute! I hope you enjoy the video and picture!
Wren's First 4th of July
We celebrated the 4th of July on Thursday by going to Lone Star Park with our young adult ministry. We set up our blankets, watched a couple of horse races (no, we did not bet on anything :), and visited with friends. Wren kind of napped and ate. She really enjoyed being outside and around lots of new things and people. Finallly, it was time for the fireworks. We settled down onto our blanket and Wren watched the 20 minute display intently! She seemed to love it!
One of my dear friends, Lauryn got married on the 4th of July. She had a beautiful outdoor wedding in Azle. We took Wren and thankfully, she was a perfect angel! She was wide awake the whole ceremony but didn't make a peep (well, she tried to make a peep and we gave her a bottle :). During the dinner and dance, she slept for a little while and then allowed a friend to hold her while Brance and I danced to a couple of songs. We had a lot of fun and were so proud of Wren!
Dads are the Best!
Victory for Dad! I had been having trouble getting Wren down for her morning nap. By the time she was fed and changed, she seemed hungry again. She was fussy and I knew she was tired but just couldn't figure out why she kept acting hungry. We had had some feeding issues in the past, so I just figured she wasn't getting enough. I would feed her again, change her again, and the awful cycle would go on until 2 pm- no morning nap achieved... Enter Dad! Saturday morning, we were beginning the cycle again. She was fussy and I was making breakfast, so I asked Brance to pick her up and see if he could get her to sleep or see if she needed a bottle. A few minutes later, fussiness stopped and I went to check on them. She was fast asleep in her swing! I asked Brance the secret to his success. He said that he put her in her swing, held a pacifier in her mouth for a few minutes and she fell asleep. Glory be!!! He got our baby to sleep in about 2 minutes and it had taken me hours!!! I use the "Brance method" now after morning feedings and she is out for about 2 or 2 and a half hours. God knew what He was doing when He gave kids a mom and a dad!
