byrdie is gorgeous, clearly. and thankfully our good friend libby pettit has captured her perfectly here. aunt lib came to houston after a trip to egypt and managed to take some pretty glorious shots of me and the byrd. i thought byrdie should remain the star, though. apologies for not posting sooner, but i have had a bit of trouble uploading pics to the site-and without a picture, there is just no story.we just returned from NYC late late sunday night where byrdie was introduced to many of my good friends. the most important part of the trip was meeting her dad. it was pretty emotional for both jr and myself. at least in the beginning. i was pleasantly surprised by him, and his want to be near byrdie. of course i am biased and do not want to be away from her, but i guess i was surprised by his sincerity. it made me for a moment want to be around him on a very regular basis. but i do not think that is the right choice for byrdie as he is still such a kid. i just hope that he will want to remain in her life always and forever.
we were heading to CC this weekend for a little sip n see for the byrd but because of hurricane ike, we had to change our plans. i am sad because there are so many people in corpus that i would like her to meet, but i certainly understand. i am hopeful that corpus and the ones we love down there will be safe.
byrdie just turned 3 months on friday, september 5th. oh she is such a big girl to me now-i know, just wait right? i am just so overly proud of her-she is so good. and when she smiles, which she does so often now, i feel so so proud and in love with her.
