The Wonderful World of Waverly


Waverly's little tooth is just barely showing. To see it, we have to make her laugh (an easy task!) and peek quickly! I can feel it on my finger though, and we can all hear it clink on her water cup and feel it scrape on her spoon.
My First 'Cookie'

Just a couple days after that first baby tooth came through, Waverly resumed eating her jar food. Her favorite veggies are squash and carrots, but she is coming around on green beans and sweet potatoes! She also loves fruit! She eats her bananas, apples and pears with ease now.


Waverly loves shopping with Mommy! She is all girl, wanting to reach out and pull things into the cart. She may be just a tad spoiled, almost always getting a small treat from the store. This time, Mamaw Gail bought her some new toys!

We have a good routine established at home. Waverly sleeps in while Mommy gets up and ready for the day, and then its her turn! I always sing to her, usually "Good Morning Beautiful", and rub her hair to wake her up. Then its hurry, hurry and scoot out the door! When we arrive at daycare, Waverly greets all the teachers with her best smile. She is very sweet in the mornings, welcoming love and attention! She has her breakfast and then a full day of fun.


Mommy just can't wait to pick her up in the afternoons!!! It seems like so long since I have last seen her! Really, 8.5 hours is just too long to go without a Waverly fix. I rush right over to daycare and scoop her up, smothering her in hugs and kisses. Ms. Sandra and the other teachers note what Waverly does throughout the day and Mommy gets to read about it. Last week, Waverly learned about sounds. She learned that a cow says "Mooo" and a cat says "Meow".

Waverly takes a little nap on the way home almost every day. Then its our special time playing and visiting until Daddy comes home for his turn! Waverly loves to crawl all over Daddy and play dinosaur with him, using her best roar ("Ra-Ra!") to scare him.



After dinner, its bath and bed time! Waverly is now taking a bath in the big girl tub! She looks so tiny in the big tub. She has the best time, splashing and kicking. Toys in the tub is new. She favors her rubber ducky and always keeps a good grip on it. Mommy gets her all clean with a teeny tiny poof! It's baby magic, for sure!




Bed time is usually very smooth. Waverly drinks her milk and cuddles with Mommy until its off to dreamland. I play with her hair while she is snuggling down, and she reciprocates by rubbing my arm and holding my hand. Its hard to lay her down when she looks so sweet and has that wonderful clean baby scent. Each day is very special when you can spend it with such a special someone!


Good Night, Sweetheart
