Week in Review

Waverly had a great first St. Patrick's Day! First, we went over to her buddy Hadley's house to watch the parade on t.v. Going downtown with all of the craziness with 2 infants was not a very good idea. We then went to lunch and did a little shopping at the mall. It was a great day! Stuart was in Florida on a scuba diving trip, so GranDana & GanGan came down to visit us. We went to swimming lessons and they were able to see my little fish in action. So far, GranDana, GanGan, Papaw, & Meme have all seen Waverly at swimming lessons. Now, we need to get Teeny & Bubba down here too. :) This week at swimming lessons we worked on using life jackets, which is very useful for Waverly! Especially, since she will be out on the boat as soon as the weather gets a little warmer.

First tooth!!

It's official!!!! Waverly has her first tooth finally starting to come through! She woke up last night at 11 p.m. and was crying and very fussy (very out of character)! Stuart tried to soothe her back to sleep without any luck. He brought Waverly to me & after a dose of Tylenol and nursing her, she fell asleep. Poor Stuart slept on the couch until about 3 a.m. and the guest room until 6:30. He said he did not want to disturb her after she fell asleep. Waverly & I are so lucky to have him! I don't know what we would ever do without him!

Waverly was in betters spirits this morning, had a great day, and by this afternoon there it was......a tiny piece of a tooth popping out!!! Once again, Stuart saved the day and went to the pharmacy to get Waverly some teething tablets that have helped tremendously! She is back to her old self tonight. As soon as I can catch a picture of her tooth with the camera I will be sure to post it!

2nd Week of Swimming Lessons

Yesterday was Waverly's second week of swimming lessons! We practiced kicking while on our tummies, going underwater, "jumping" in from the side, and we added floating on our backs this week. Waverly did so well and goes non-stop during her 45-minute lesson. She is kicking, splashing, and "talking" the whole time! We look forward to swimming class every Saturday.

Waverly is also back on her schedule of sleeping through the night. Around 6 months she started to wake up once during the night to nurse, and she has sporadically been doing so ever since. Well, for the last week she hasn't woken up once and is back to her old self. She goes to bed around 8:00 and sleeps until 6:30. Stuart & I know we are very lucky to have such a good sleeper, good eater, and just all around happy baby.

Swimming Lessons

Waverly had her first swimming lesson at the Aquatic Center this Saturday! She did so well and absolutely LOVED the water! She was kicking, splashing, and laughing the entire time. Her friend, Hadley, was there with her and the girls had so much fun. We did a few different exercises with her teacher and then had free play time for the last fifteen minutes. Waverly swam around on her tummy kicking, went underwater, and "jumped" off the side of the pool into the water. She was exhausted by the time we were finished and fell asleep before we could even leave the Aquatic Center's parking lot! We are so happy that we signed her up and can't wait for next Saturday!

Great Weekend

Waverly had another great weekend! Saturday, we went to the boat show and met up with our friends. Jon, Alisa, & Hadley met us at the boat show. Hadley is Waverly's buddy & they are only three weeks apart (Waverly is older). We then rode the ferry across the Savannah River to have lunch. Waverly & Hadley were not too thrilled, Waverly fell asleep and Hadley was checking everyone out. We strolled downtown and had a wonderful lunch with great company. We rode the ferry back across the river and of course, the girls fell asleep again.
