My 1/2 Birthday!

Happy 1/2 Birthday, Waverly!

Today, our wee one turns 6 months old! It is difficult to believe our sweetie is that old now. It seems like just yesterday, she was born.

At 6 months old, Waverly can do all kinds of tricks. She can blow raspberries, pass objects between her hands, reach for a toy and (almost) wave bye-bye. She is trying very hard to learn to crawl and can scoot around on her tummy and her back. She uses her feet to push off with and then really gets going. If she could only get her tummy off the ground, she'd be really getting somewhere!

Waverly's first bite of Veggies.

Last night, Waverly had her first bite of vegetables. While she was eating her cereal, I gave her a taste of squash. She wasn't sure what to make of it at first. Her expression was priceless.

Hmmm, that's new!

After getting a good taste, she decided that she liked it and just couldn't wait for the next bite. She was chasing the spoon around!

In just a minute, she was lapping it up just like a little kitten! Welcome to the world of veggies, my dear. It's all fun from here!

After her dinner, Waverly was of course in need of a good bath! She has learned that she can splash and play in the water now. She has a great time getting Mommy and Daddy all wet.

Waverly will smack the water spray and then it goes everywhere. She doesn't even mind water on her face. It wont be long before her baths in the sink will end and she'll be in a baby tub. For now, we are still enjoying the ease of bathing in the sink.

Oooooh, I like it!
Waverly giggles with each splash!

As past of her night time routine, Waverly knows that bath time is shortly followed by bed time. She is so happy in the tub and then almost as soon as she's clean, she is rubbing those beautiful blue eyes, ready to snuggle down for the night. She has been sleeping really well and rarely wakes up in the middle of the night. She likes cuddling close to Mommy and Daddy. If one of us is out of reach, she just scoots and squishes closer!

This morning, I gave Waverly a little present to celebrate her 1/2 birthday in style. She got a new "plug". It's adorably decorated in pink camo. She wasn't sure what to make of a new plug at first, since she is partial to the Mams. It at least makes a good new toy!


On my way to daycare...

Mommy decorated Waverly's daily paperwork at daycare with stickers and drawings, just to let the ladies know that it was Waverly's special day! She was greeted with smiles and hugs this morning. I'm sure she'll have a great day!
