'Reaching' New Milestones

This weekend was fairly busy for our little family. On Friday, we had Waverly's 3 month old pictures taken. She was our little drama queen, posing and being her adorable self. I think she likes being the center of attention!


Friday night, we got to try out her new toy! Waverly loves her play mat, with dangling rattles and toys that detach for tummy time. She is partial to the mirror, which is to be expected since she loves all shiny things.

On Saturday, Waverly and I had dinner with some family for Aunt Amy's birthday. It was so great to see every one and to have the babies get together. Tanner is getting to be a big boy, sitting in his high chair and eating some of his mommy's vegetables. He really likes to give kisses, and even sneaked one to Waverly before we left! So precious!

After dinner, Waverly and I were off to my cousin's baby shower. She is expecting a little girl, Helena Rose, to be born at the end of this month. Helena has big sister Delilah and big brother James to play with her. Delilah just loved Waverly! She kept giving her big hugs!

Visiting with Mamaw Gail


On Saturday night, Waverly surprised Mamaw Jean and I with her first real laugh! I think she even surprised herself a little. Mamaw was playing with her with a stuffed animal and she just loved that puppy dog! After some big smiles, we heard the most wonderful tinkling laughter! I stopped what I was doing and looked at Mamaw and we both were just tickled! Waverly makes the most wonderful sounds; we are thrilled to add laughter to her repertoire.

Playing with my toy again!


All smiles


Later on Saturday night, Waverly got to meet her great-papaw for the first time. Blan had been around to visit and was excited to see his great-granddaughter. After a little family visit, he had to be on his way.
Waverly also had another big milestone this past weekend. On Saturday, Papaw was holding her and she saw me and reached out for me to hold her. It was the sweetest thing!!! She can just melt my heart. She has since reached out for Mamaw and Papaw and Daddy. Even last night, daddy put her to bed and she was trying to give him a hug. She is wonderful!
