Oh The Places You'll Go - Part II

Baby Girl, 

You've been a champ hanging out in Mama's tummy this trimester! Half the time, I hardly even noticed you were there! ;) Here is a recap of all of the fun things you've been along on the ride for in the last 14 weeks...

Holiday Parties 

You made your big social debute this holiday season and everyone was anxious to see you, feel you, and hear all about you! Your first event of the season was the 7th Annual Dallas Girls Christmas Panty Exchange party, that was followed by an outing to the Ricki Derek, a Frank Sinatra style singer,  Holiday Concert at the historic Lakewood Theatre.

We also attended  a fun holiday party and white elephant gift exchange party at the Faubel's house - where Mommy & Daddy won $55 on some scratch off Lottery tickets! And to round out the festivities we went to Daddy's Comstock Company Christmas party which was held at Reunion Tower. We tried to take our picture with you out on the new observation deck, but Daddy is a wussy and afraid of heights and it was WAY too cold. We'll take you back someday! 

Christmas Road Trippin'

You were technically also along for the ride this Christmas season as we piled our presents and bags into the Acura sleigh and made our annual treks to Tyler and then to Houston to visit family! Daddy even convinced Mama to take a side trip afterward to Lafayette so that he could do a little work and we could visit our good friends, the Schoeffler's. It was a lot of traveling, but luckily you weren't big enough yet to make Mama too uncomfortable. 

The Best Brunch Ever

As an added bonus of our trip to Lafayette we were able to have brunch at the yummiest place ever, the Blue Dog Cafe! Mama often dreams of their oyster dressing, crab chowder, and crawfish enchiladas! Luckily you got to join us to have your very first taste! We're certain it won't be your last either! 

First New Year

You got to ring in your very first New Year with Mommy & Daddy! 2015 will be a BIG one for you... you know with the whole being born thing that you'll be doing! ;) Next year we can't wait to give YOU lots of New Year's kisses! 

First Vacay/international Travel

Because Daddy so kindly arranged to take his girls on a tropical adventure to the island of Antigua, you got to enjoy your first time on an airplane and your first trip to a new country! You tiny jet-setter you! :) We hope, someday, you will love to travel as much as Mommy and Daddy do!

First Charity Event

Not only have you started traveling the world, but you have started attending charity events, our little do-gooder! ;) In February, you attended the Cut For Love Charity event put together by Mommy & Daddy's good friend JJ. We all had a fabulous time, but had to leave a little early, because Mommy's feet were hurting in her 4 inch heels. 

Another Austin Wedding

Mommy & Daddy seem to always have a wedding to go to and this one was in Austin, TX again! We celebrated the marriage of Daddy's hometown friends Cody & Stephanie Johnson! Mommy had quite the struggle trying to find a dress that was both cute, yet roomy enough to fit you, as well. The selection of maternity dresses out there is quite horrendous, but luckily I found something that worked from Nordstrom and in a non-maternity, size small thank you very much! We still got it! ;) 

Daddy's "still got it" too! He had lots of moves out on the dance floor! ;)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well... that's all of your new adventures in the last few months! We can't wait to see what big things are in store for you during this last trimester! Mostly, we will just spend the days finishing your nursery, buying you lots of cute things and counting down to your arrival! Life will be much more entertaining with you around to share in the fun! 

We love you!

Love, Mommy & Daddy XOXO
