Top Teeth

Waverly has been struggling lately with her top teeth! They have been "about" to come through for quite some time now! She got her first two bottom teeth when she was about 9 months old & she is now 13 months old. So, we have been waiting on those other teeth for over 4 months now. She looks so cute with her two little bottom teeth & it when she smiles and all I see are gums on top it really makes her look like a little baby.

She is still walking, practically running, all over the place and we can't wait for all of our family to see her this weekend. Stuart's sister, Mary, had another sweet, baby girl a few weeks ago and we have yet to see her. Unless Hurricane Earl decides to visit Elizabeth City, we will be heading home on Friday for Labor Day Weekend.

Busy, Busy, Busy

Once again, I apologize for not updating my blog more frequently. Since I have started another school year things have been a little busy around the Morrison House. I have a great group of kids this year and I know we will have a wonderful year together!

Waverly is growing like a weed and is doing so well. She is drinking her milk and eating like such a big girl. She is practically running all over the house. She is such a perfect little walker and has such great balance. I was sad around the time of her birthday because so many things were happening. Her first birthday, stopping nursing, and walking all happened within a week of each other. I am happy to say that even though I am sad that my sweet little baby is growing up, we are entering a new and exciting chapter in her life.

We are still going out in the boat every weekend and she absolutely loves the water! Stuart & I look forward to the days when we can pull her in a tube, teach her to hydraslide, and go on family boat trips to Charleston. We are so fortunate to have such an easy-going baby.

MILK!!

Waverly will be one-year-old in nine days and we have begun the weaning process. She is having whole milk in her sippy cup once a day instead of nursing at that time. She is doing great!! She loves her milk and I am so happy that we are not having to give her a bottle and then transition to a sippy cup. I didn't think she would have any trouble because she loves to drink water from her sippy cup! Each week we are adding milk to replace one of her feedings. Tomorrow starts the second one, so she will be having whole milk around 10 in the morning and 2 in the afternoon. Keep your fingers crossed that everything goes well. I am sure it will because she is so easy-going and such a perfect little baby!

Finally!

I am sorry I have been slacking on my blog lately. I promise to update at least once a week! Waverly is growing more and more everyday. Her little personality is really starting to shine through. She is crawling so fast and is pulling up on everything. She can walk holding on to any piece of furniture and can stand on her own for a few seconds. Stuart & I think she is going to be walking any day now. Waverly is also "talking" up a storm....we just don't know what she is saying yet. Ha ha. She weighs almost 23 pounds and is starting to get a little bit of hair. Her first birthday is less than a month away and Stuart & I don't know where the time went. It seems like yesterday we were at the hospital and I got to see my precious angel for the first time. Every morning when I wake up I get so excited to go and pick her up out of her crib. I am so lucky to be her mommy!

Beautiful Weekend

The weather in Savannah was absolutely gorgeous this weekend and we definitely took advantage of it! Friday, we went down to Hogans' Marina where we keep our boat. We had hopes of taking Waverly on a boat ride but it was too chilly & windy. So, we decided to go have lunch and Waverly was just loving all of the attention! Several people came up to us to say how cute Waverly was. She really is the best baby in the whole world! Saturday, we had swimming lessons with her buddy, Hadley, and were kind of disappointed that we didn't have our same instructor, Melissa. She was really great and really got to know the babies. After swimming lessons we met our friends, Alan & Josie, at the boat to try again to take a cruise. The wind was only blowing 5-10 mph and the temperature was warmer. Waverly put on her life jacket and didn't complain and we headed down Turner's Creek. She was starting to get slightly cranky but as soon as we started moving the hum of the motor put her right to sleep. We rode over to Daufuskie Island and had lunch at Marshside Mama's! Waverly fell right asleep on the way back and it made Stuart & I feel so good that she is going to feel relaxed and comfortable on the boat.

Today, we worked in the yard and cleaned the house! We had such a great spring break and hate to go back to work tomorrow! :(
