The Big "2"

Clementine is now 'officially' a toddler, even though she has been 'toddling' since she was 10 months old! Her 2nd birthday party was wonderful! Everyone had a great time playing at the Austin Children's Museum. I'd like to give a BIG hug and 'Thank You' to everyone who accommodated and helped us this weekend. Now here is what you really want, pictures!!!

All snotty & Peacocks

Chris took Clementine to the doctor today & she officially has a cold. She is all snotty & miserable, poor thing. I thought she might have an ear infection because she has started putting her hands up & covering her ears and sometimes she pulls on her hair, but the doctor said her ears looked OK & the infection may be working it's way there, but hasn't reached them yet. It is pretty obvious her nose is sore though because anytime I make to wipe it she starts crying. Sometimes before I even get to it!

On a happier note. We went to Green Pastures & had lunch with some friends (also put a big dent in their milk punch supply) and got some picture with Clementine & the peacocks.


Yay, Peacocks!


Pretty girl

Getting big!

So, yesterday Clementine was taking her afternoon nap and I heard her making noise in her room. I went in to get her out, change her diaper, etc... When what do I see? She is standing in her crib, looking down over the edge.

Needless to say we took that opportunity to lower her mattress down two notches (which is about 5 inches or so).

My baby's getting big!!! (and I can tell because all my arm muscles ache!)

Here's another Bluebonnet picture (I think we took about 100!)

Pictures with Grandma

We went over to my mom's on Saturday & she had some beautiful roses in her back yard. So we took advantage of the flowers & got some really great pictures!

Easter @ the Turner's

We went down to Sabinal for Easter & Clementine's Great-Grandmother's 90th birthday surprise party! We had a really good time & Clementine was a big hit! Everyone loves a happy baby and Clementine was glad to oblige. They had an Easter egg hunt & Clementine got to "find" her first eggs! (Well she pretty much had me find them & put them in her hands. Then she mouthed them!) We had a lot of good pictures, but here are some of the best.

Happy Baby! Happy Easter!!

7 month Update & Fun times

Clementine had her 7 month well baby visit (it got pushed back a month). She is 17 lbs, 7 oz & 25.5 inches tall. She's still in the 50th percentile for height & has moved to the 75th percentile for weight. She is doing great! The doctor was really happy with her progress & development. Now we just need to work on getting her back to sleeping through the night & everything will be great!

She has been up on her knees & rolling around everywhere! We finally got some of those wire holder thingies to keep her from grabbing & chewing on the wires we have against the fireplace. We are going to have to do more baby-proofing because she is not one to just sit still & admire the scenery. She wants to know what everything is & then put it in her mouth to see how it tastes!

I'm on my way

Hi there!

Rockin' Baby!

We got a treat this weekend from Clementine. She had been doing little push-ups on her hands & toes when today she put her knees down! After she did that a few times she got on her knees & started rocking back & forth & then would kind of lunge forward!

She is going to be crawling in no time...we are in trouble!!

I don't have any pictures yet, but until then here are some cute ones!

Sweet sleeping beauty

Feeling Better, Six Months & Mama!

We are starting to feel better today. We went to the Doctor & got checked out. Clementine is still congested with a cough, but they did a blood test & her white blood counts are fine so there is no sign of any infection. We are just going to wait & tough it out unless things get worse.

On an up beat, Clementine is SIX months old!!! I can't believe it's been half a year. She is rolling everywhere & sitting up on her own. I've been feeling for any teeth, but there is no sign yet (just drooling).

She actually called me 'Mama' while I was changing her diaper...Then she said it to a dragon puppet she has!!! I'm trying not to take that personal though :) She usually just says 'umamamam'. But gets closer to saying it when she is crying.

Here are some pictures for your viewing pleasure:

Clementine the Turtle girl! Can you find Clementine amongst all the Turtles?




BTW, she didn't fall, we laid her down on her tummy.

Doctor's visit - pneumonia Update

Clementine had a well baby visit yesterday & the doctor said she was doing great! She weighs 14 lbs, 10 oz (50th percentile) & is a little short for her age at 24 inches. The doctor didn't say that she was short, 24 inches puts her in the 25th percentile for her age. But that's OK, she's short & cute!

She said Clementine's lungs sounded good & that she was fine & ready for vaccines again. In fact offered to give her one that day. I opted to wait since she had just had one on the 15th & I want her immune system to relax a little.
