Waverly update
Well, I guess it is true what they say -- they do grow up fast.
Waverly has this Big Wheel-like scooter that her cousins Derek and Brett gave her. It is called Rock, Roll, and Ride, and the way it is set up now, it has a handle on the back so her Papa can push her around. She loves it, but she can't get up onto it by herself, and I (gladly) spend about 40% of my time in the evening pushing her around the house, because she can't quite push or pedal it herself.
But tonight, I went into the livingroom, and there she was sitting on her Rock, Roll, and Ride. I said to Maryellen, "Did you put her up there?" "No. Why?" But before I could answer, she started pushing herself around, and even semi-steering through the doorway. Unbelieveable. I almost starting getting choked up a bit because she looked so much like a little kid, rather than a little baby.
Next she'll be asking for the keys to the truck!

Gus has a toy he pushes and walks behind and he can now pull up on it, walk anywhere he wants with it, and turn/steer it when he reaches an obstacle like the wall. He used to only be able to "walk" behind it on his knees. He really only looks like a baby anymore when he's sleeping. I bet Waverly is the same way.
