Baby Talk

Can you believe it? In just a couple days, our little one will be 1 month old! It's hard to believe that much time has gone by, but the calendar isn't lying. Waverly is almost a month old.

Sleepyhead...

Not long after coming home from the hospital, Waverly started rolling to her side to go to sleep. It just amazed us all that she already could roll that way. Even now, everytime we place her on her back for a nap, she will wiggle and scrunch until she can roll to one side or the other. She is very aware of her surroundings and knows when mommy and daddy aren't napping with her. Just a few days ago, she began reaching for us and grabbing hold to make sure that we don't go anywhere during her rest. Some may say spoiled, but I just say she's well-loved.

Waverly already has so much personality. She prefers this brand of pacifier over any other, though she occassionally will use the ones from the hospital still.

Hanging out with Mamaw

Yesterday, Waverly and I stayed with Mamaw Jean for awhile. We had a really nice visit, making cupcakes and chatting it up. Waverly was in a really cheeerful mood, just wiggling and
smiling. We even found some baby pictures of daddy during our visit, so those will be posted soon.

Lovin' my car seat!

Waverly does great in her car seat and in the car. She is usually content with some gentle rocking and then drifts off to dreamland. Its great because she is so portable right now - mommy can get some things done or take a little break.

Last night, Daddy gave Waverly her first bottle. As a breast baby, she hasn't had this exposure before. We are trying to get her to take a bottle for days that mommy can't be right with her all the time, such as when she begins day care. Waverly was NOT happy with this new food venue, but we put forth good effort. For now, she wants what is familiar to her. We'll just keep trying until we find what works for us, all in time.

Otherwise, Waverly can now hold her head up breifly while laying on her tummy and can put her hands together. She can focus on faces now, which is really heartwarming. She hates socks and having her feet covered up, but loves to cuddle with mommy and daddy. I just love to watch her smile. Our little family is doing great!
