Nashville Zoo

 During Fall Break here in Tennessee, we took the kids to the local zoo.  Orion and Skye had been to the Nashville Zoo before but the rest of us were newbies.  We spent quite a bit of time walking around and taking pictures.  I didn't take many videos just because there were a lot of people and I wanted to respect their privacy.  

Orion and Skye also took pictures at the zoo and their pictures are also included in the video (with their permission, of course).

Join us at the zoo here:

See ya soon!

Playing Outside

 Now that Waverly is a bit older, and the weather is getting nicer, we are going outside more often.  I am grateful that weather in Tennessee is usually nice most of the time.  Tennessee gets more rain where as Indiana gets more snow.  

Waverly still isn't sure about the whole grass thing, but she loves running around outside.

Ring Pop Time

 I don't know about anyone else, but I always enjoy giving Waverly sweets.  I know they aren't good for her, but once in a while won't hurt.  Sometimes, those are the funniest moments.

Here's a smile for your day!

Watch it here:

See ya soon!

Trying the Stairs

 Now that Waverly is a bit more steady on her feet, though she still gets the typical toddler falls, she is getting braver.  She has been showing an interest in the stairs going up to the apartment (we are on the second floor).  

Knowing she can't learn without practicing, she did just that.

Play Time

 I love seeing the imagination and creativity in Waverly.  It is so amusing and inspiring to see her joy in simple things.

Taste of Home Fall Box

 It's that time again.  It's time for the Taste of Home Fall Box. I always love the gadgets that come with it and am excited about getting new recipes and cookbooks.  That always makes me happy.  

See what I got this box here:

Walking Walking

 Now that Waverly is mobile, she loves just walking around.  Since she was born with club foot, it brings so much joy to watch her walk without having to use any aids.  Her foot doctor is so pleased with her flexibility that she (at least as of now) doesn't need surgery to fix the club foot.  

It seems like lately, since she is mobile and getting better at talking, she walks around saying "walking" repeatedly as she does.  It's like she is so proud of herself and she should be.  I am so proud of my daughter and grandbaby.

Milky Way Time

Yes, I give the grandbaby candy.  I grew up in a big family.  There was no telling anyone that Skye couldn't have something growing up.  That seemed to be the first thing everyone then gave her.  And we do it with a giggle.  Yes, it can seem mean to the parents, but it really isn't about that.  

When I was little, my mom didn't allow me to have candy.  I thought dried fruit was candy.  But, when I finally tried candy, it was amazing.  I like giving Waverly those new experiences and tastes.  It is also amusing to see her reaction to new tastes.

See her try a Milky Way bar here:

See ya soon!
