Sunny Days

It has been a wonderfully warm weekend! Since the heat is nice but a bit much, we have spent the weekend tryng to keep cool!

On Firday night, Waverly spent some time with Mamaw and Papaw. She was sleeping so well when we picked her up that she didn't even wake up when we brought her home and put her to bed. She had a big night on the town, after dinner with us all and then playing with her grandparents.



On Saturday, Waverly and I went to the library. This time, she was wide awake and enjoyed our library visit. She helped me choose some books for her to "read".

"Reading"

So much fun!

How cute am I?

We read a few books while at the library, enjoying the cool air conditioning as well, and then checked out with a whole bag full of new things to read and look at. Waverly does very well when she is read too, paying attention and trying to help turn the pages. She's going to be one smart cookie!

Later on, it was lots of tummy time and floor play. We mostly stayed inside because it was so hot this weekend. Waverly is going to be learning to crawl soon. She is perfecting turning in circles and loves her tummy time. When she rolls over to her back, she will fuss until you place her back on her tummy. She is so much fun!

Poor Axel looks jealous!

Waverly loves Crissy and Axel so much.

She gets so tickled when they pay attention to her.

She will often yell at them until they come over to lick her hand!

A Cuddle for Mommy on Sunday night, after a bath.

After dinner at Mamaw and Papaw's, Waverly had some play time in her walker and then we went home for night time. She had a fun time in the tub, or should I say sink, and then it was cuddles with Mommy before nodding off to dreamland.

My Water Baby

Waverly enjoyed her bath last night! Here are some photos from her fun in the tub - or should I say sink?

Patiently waiting - C'mon Mommy, its bath time!

Tasting the water... Adorably hilarious.

Pretty toes...

Getting the srub down.

Hi Daddy!

Whee!

Hahaha!

All clean! Where's my towel?

Spinnin' Round

What a great weekend! Saturday morning, Waverly and I started out bright and early. We got up and ready and then it was off to Mamaw Gail's house. We had a yard sale all planned, so we didn't let the morning sprinkles of rain deter us. Once everything was set up, the people came trickling in. Waverly cashed out with $60! Since she is growing out of her clothes so fast, we'll turn right around and buy some new outfits for her with the yard sale money!



We had a nice time visiting with Mamaw Gail, Gary and Aunt Phyllis. Waverly took a little nap and then woke up for more play time! While cooling off in the air conditioning, Waverly learned a new trick! My mom and I were just visiting and playing with Waverly and she started working her way around on her tummy. She just started to turn and spin, excited that she was moving. What a strong little girl! It wasn't but a few minutes before she had made a complete circle. We are so proud of her!

Sunday was wonderful. Waverly and I spent the whole day together, playing and napping. Anxious to perfect her new trick, Waverly had lots of tummy time. She likes to spin around and see all her different toys. She has also learned that she can kick her ball and that will make it light up and make sound just like when she hits it. What a smart kiddo - spacial awareness already!

New tricks tire me out!

Playing with Daddy.

We had dinner with Mamaw and Papaw, where Waverly ate her cereal like a big girl and then played in her walker. She can really get around now. She will walk backward and forward in her walker. It wont be long before we have to child-proof the house.

My little cutie - she likes her hat!

This morning, Waverly was all smiles and sunshine. She woke up on her own and was so happy to see her Mommy. We even had a few minutes to spare, so we sang a song and then watched cartoons. What a way to start off a Monday!

Cute Stuff

Waverly is changing so much every day. She is learning all kinds of new things and is growing like a weed. I had just bought the cute outfit with strawberries, and even though its size 6-9 months, it is already a little snug! She is adorable in anything though.

Learning new sounds I can make, like a boat!

Rockin' in my new hat

Waverly loves to laugh. She's a little ticklish and we take full advantage of that just to hear her laugh like a tinkling bell. She is such a happy child, always smiling and willing to try new things.

Got my shades, let's go!

Just Like Mommy

Little Bit Country

On Saturday, Daddy, Mommy and Waverly went to Irvin, KY to visit Dean's Aunt and Uncle and family. They own a pay lake there, so we loaded up the fishin' gear and were off! The mountains were so pretty around there.

Waverly's Great-Grandmother

Waverly had a great time. It was a nice day, though still hot. She got to meet lots of new family members and enjoyed walking around the lake with her Papaw. There's nothing like good times on a lake, with good food and good company!

There were several children there, but none took up with Waverly like Hannah did! She followed anyone who was carrying Waverly. She loved that those baby toe nails were painted bright orange!

Hannah, Jacob, and Noah have grown so much since we last seen them (several years!). It is just amazing how time flies. Can't wait for the next trip!
