Sticking her Tongue Out

 These pictures were taken after Waverly got her ears pierced.  Boy, was she mad.  

She kept sticking her tongue out of the side of her pacifier and it was very cute.

Waverly Gets Her Ears Pierced

 Skye has been wanting to get Waverly's ears pierced for some time now.  My ears were pierced when I was a baby and Skye got her first set around 6 months old.

The reasoning is that its much easier to care for them when the child is little then fight with them later over the cleaning portion.  Babies aren't going to remember the small amount of pain from getting their ears pierced either. 

So the problem was finding a place to have it done.  We had a Claire's by us in the old mall in town, but the mall has been renovated into a strip mall instead of a traditional mall, and Claire's was one that did not move back into the renovated building.  

I tried calling a tattoo and piercing shop, but they can't do it until the child is 7 years old.  So we took a trip up to Nashville and got her ears pierced in a Claire's there.

She Loves the Baby

 I find it fascinating that Waverly loves talking to the baby.  She doesn't realize that the baby she is seeing is her own reflection.

She will talk to the baby and babble expecting a return babble.  It is just so adorable.

Drinking from a Cup

 Waverly is almost a year old now so Skye is starting to ween her off the bottom and onto sippy cups and regular cups.  

I gave Waverly my almost empty coffee cup to get some practice in.

Trying to Talk

 Waverly has grown so much in the past almost year now and she is even trying to talk more now.  She doesn't say clear words or sentences yet, but I don't think it will be much longer before she does.  

She can sit up by herself, stand and walk if she is holding on to something, and says a few words like mama and nana.  Soon, she will be walking and talking and I can't wait to see her doing those.  

Here in this video, she is talking and babbling so cutely.

Milk Mustache

 It seems like a right of passage, or a major milestone, when babies go from drinking formula to drinking regular milk.  The Big Guy and I were in Waffle House for our regular weekly breakfast date and since Skye was at school, we had miss Waverly with us.

She didn't want to be left out, so she ordered a kids milk and some scrambled eggs.  She enjoyed her scrambled eggs, but the regular milk kind of threw her for a loop for a second.  Then she really liked it.  I only gave her a few sips, we didn't want to mess up her stomach after all, but she absolutely loved it.

Christmas Party 2023

 Since moving to Tennessee, I haven't gotten to participate in many of my family events.  This year, Big Guy asked me what I wanted for Christmas and I told him that I wanted to go to my family's Christmas (my mom's side does Christmas in January so that Christmas Eve & Day are reserved for family or families that live together as well in-law parties).  

While I didn't enjoy the drive, since my stomach was giving me issues, I certainly enjoyed the scenary on the way there and back and was happy to see my family.  I haven't seen most of them since my Grandma passed away right before my 39th birthday.  Her funeral was on my birthday actually so that was the last time I've seen most of them.  My mom came down when Waverly was born and she has taken a few vacations in Nashville, which is about a 90 minute drive from me, so we have seen my mom and stepfather recently.  

I didn't film much at the party, mainly for everyone else's privacy, but also because I wanted to enjoy spending time with my family since we were leaving to come back home the next morning.

See what I filmed here:

Crawling Baby

 Miss Waverly was going for a check-up with her foot specialist and decided it was time to explore the waiting room around her.  She had a blast crawling around the different chairs and padded seating.

Park Time

 I was waiting for Skye to get out of school and had an unhappy baby in the car seat, so we stopped at the park for a little swing time.  Did I mention Waverly hates the car seat?  

So we went for a little playtime.  I did sit her on the slide and walked her down it, she didn't seem too thrilled with the concept, so we quickly went back to the swing.

Talking to the Baby

 Waverly is very fascinated by "the baby", which is kind of funny since she is the baby.  Anywhere she can see her reflection, she wants to talk to the baby.  And by talk, I mean to yell and growl.  She is so funny sometimes.  Sorry for the lighting...it was nighttime and I was trying to get her to settle down.
