Waverly's First Boo-Boo

Sneaking a nap in the bouncy chair at day care

Well, we all knew it was coming! All babies are going to have a boo-boo at some time or other. Luckily, Waverly's first boo-boo was just a little scratch on her neck. When I picked her up from day care on Thursday, she was just as happy as she could be. I love seeing her in a good mood. I handed her over to Papaw for a hug and noticed a scratch on the back of her neck. We think the Velcro on one of the bibs caused the scratch. A little neosporin and air, and she was better in no time!

Splish, Splash, I was takin' a bath...

We try to give Waverly a bath at least every other night. She really likes her bath time! She was in a particularly good mood yesterday.

Getting ready to take a bath!

C'mon Mommy, where's the water?

Ah, relaxtion!



So Content...

Waverly is growing so fast! When we first brought her home, we gave her sponge baths until she lost her umbilical cord. Then, she graduated to using the bath chair seen in the above pictures. It resembles a beach chair and fits perfectly in the sink. A few weeks ago, we began using the yellow tub in the double sink, with a sling that supports her wiggly body. Now she is too big for the swing, yet to0 little for the plastic tub, so we resorted to using the chair again. She likes to dangle her legs in the water!

Check out my curly hair! Just like mommy!

Fresh and Clean... for a few minutes at least!

Tummy Time!

Woo-hoo! This is fun!

If there was a way to post a smell to the blog, I would definetly post the clean baby smell. It's just wonderful! Unfortunately, the smell of the perfumed shampoo and soap is fleeting. I can't help sniff up the baby for a couple hours after each bath! She usually gets all warm and snuggly after her bath, and we have a great time cuddling before bed. We love bath nights!

Mommy's First Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all mom's everywhere! This is such a special day and I was delighted to share my first mother's day by spending time with my little one.

Trying to talk to Mommy?

A little tired!

Daddy, Mommy and Waverly

On Sunday morning, Waverly and I played a little trick on Mamaw Gail. I had told Mom that I wanted Mother's Day to just be Waverly and I, so she planned to stay at home on Sunday. I talked to her for awhile, but she didn't know that Waverly and I were on our way to her home to surprise her! Uncle Matt came too, and she was really surprised! We enjoyed our visit with Mom and Gary. I hope she enjoyed her Mother's Day, too.

Later on, we had dinner with Mamaw Jean. She just cuddled with Waverly, who was getting tired, and rocked her to sleep for a little while. We just love getting to visit and enjoy all the good food.

We still have one more Mother's day visit, to Grammy Betty. We will get by to see her soon.

I truly enjoyed my first mother's day. Dean had a special present for me. He had this very blog printed into a beautiful hard cover book, from the beginning of the blog through Waverly's birthday. We plan to have a book made each year for her birthday, so she will have her very own yearbooks!

I also received a card from my mom, who wrote it on behalf of little Waverly. It was so sweet! Waverly made mommy a special present at daycare. It is a canvas picture frame decorated with her pink and purple hand prints, with a picture of her smiling. Everything was so special!

My First Friend

Last night, Waverly and I had a great time at dinner with mommy's friend, Samantha, and her 8-month-old daughter, Roxy. This visit has been a long time coming, so it was wonderful to finally get together.

Roxy, all smiles!

I was so excited to see Roxy. It was the first time I got to hold her. She is so cuddly and sweet. I was proud of her, since she is at that age where she is spoiled to her mommy but she let me hold her for a little bit.

Waverly woke up for a little while and Samantha got to hold her, too! She was in a good mood. It was so much fun to get our girls together and introduce them. I can just see them playing on the floor together, having little tea parties and playing dress-up!

Waverly, all tuckered out...

The girls were on their best behavior, so Samantha and I were able to not only eat dinner, but squeeze in a chat too. Roxy wanted to join the conversation, just babbling away. Soon, Waverly started cooing too. It was like they were talking to each other! So cute!

The Girls - Double Trouble?

Little Sniffles

This past weekend, we all had much fun at a sneak preview of GattiTown in Frankfort. All the employees from Dean's work were invited for free pizza and games as part of a test run for the new restaurant. We had a good time visiting, though the line for food was just too long. It was still a good way to spend a rainy day.

Waverly slept awhile but then woke up to visit with everyone. We were glad to see Papaw Allen and Grammy Betty, plus Aunt Amy had brought Tanner along too!

Tanner, enjoying his lunch!

After all the rain we had this weekend, poor little Waverly had a stuffy nose. It seemed to be only stuffy at night and in the early morning, so we cranked the humidifier up. Last night, we gave her some 'little noses' saline solution, just one drop. Though that wasn't the most fun for her or us, it did help and she slept through the night. Her stuffy nose is getting much better!

Staring down the puppy dogs...
