So I didn't have the willpower to take her on a drive far enough to get into thick blue bonnets this year. Just as they were starting to bloom, Brooke started getting fussy in the car. Where she once used to sleep, even if it was only a 5 minute ride, she know fusses if she is strapped in and confined to the backseat longer than 15 minutes. So to go to Bellville for a picture in some pretty flowers seemed like a big fat no!
My mom's friend suggested visiting Bridgeland, a neighborhood southeast of Grand Parkway and 290. I had my doubts, but was pleasantly surprised to see how thick the flowers were surrounding the neighborhood lake. It was beautiful! It was after lunch with some friends and the sun was beaming, so we had to be quick. I managed to get some great shots before getting my blue-eyed, fair skin, baby girl out of the heat. Perhaps next year, we will be able to see the bluebonnets when we have a "big girl" on our hands...
It was close to nap time, so we had a hard time getting a smile. She is a very observant and content baby; she loves to take it all in, just like her parents. You'll really see her personality coming out in some of these pictures. And her beautiful, blue eyes really pop with her blue dress (from Grammy) and the colorful wildflowers.
