Just a Quick Update...

To let you know that dad finished the race with flying colors :) He's already planning for the next and mom may have caught the bug as well - we shall see. Will try to post pictures tomorrow.

We also had a pretty good laugh at dinner time tonight...Raz figured out how to get up on the back of the couch, which happens to be at about face level with my high chair. Well, I'm not the neatest eater yet, and Raz must have smelled the food, because she stood on the back of my highchair and tried to lick my face! I didn't finish dinner because I was too distracted trying to turn around and look at her. Silly cat!

We have a tooth!

My first tooth has finally surfaced! I won't really let anyone look at it, so you'll have to wait for pictures, but it's definitely there.

I had a great weekend last weekend and the weather was finally really nice! Grammy and Grampy Clements came to visit me and so did Aunt Laurie, Uncle Dan, and cousins Courtney and Kaylee! Since the weather was so nice, we were able to spend a lot of time outside. We walked around the neighborhood and around the lake where mom and dad used to live. Saturday night, we went to see the Washington Freedom game and this time it was thankfully a little warmer than last week. I think they all had a nice time - I know I did!

It's been a pretty crazy week! I've woken up before 4 am every morning so far and have been WIDE awake and ready to go, but mom hasn't been quite so ready... I also haven't taken more than two 15 minute naps a day in over a week and I haven't been eating or nursing like I should be. It's just not like me. Finally, on Wednesday, I fell asleep on the way home from daycare and mom had to wake me up at bedtime to feed me and put my jammies on - I was only up long enough to eat and then went back to sleep for the night, but alas was up again at 4. I had been doing SO well sleeping - hopefully I'll get back to "normal" soon!

Mom tells me that I'm starting at a new school on Monday. We had to take everything home from my old school yesterday. But my favorite teachers all agreed to babysit me sometime, so I'm glad we'll be able to stay in touch with them. I will definitely miss them!

Tomorrow, dad is running the GW Parkway Classic 5K - wish him luck! Mom made me a shirt to wear to cheer him on - stay tuned for photos :)

Here are some photos from last weekend. I'm getting so big!!!

Happy Friday!

I'm still obsessed with sticking my tongue out as you can see! Don't I look determined??? I'm having a lot of fun with my toys now and am able to control them a little better. Mom and dad got me a Sesame Street remote control so I stop trying to play with the real ones! I think mine is more fun anyway :) Elmo talks to me when I push the buttons (much to dad's chagrin - he has pretty much banned anything Elmo in the house, but mom snuck this one in).








































It's been an injury prone few weeks in this house (but not for me, thankfully). Dad tripped down the stairs last week and hurt his ankle, so he may not be running in the Parkway race in two weeks. He says it's feeling better, but it's definitely not back to normal yet. It could have been so much worse - I'm glad he's ok!!! And mom has tendonitis in her wrist and has to wear a splint which makes it hard to pick me up. This too shall pass...

I've been VERY vocal lately. My doctor told mom at my 6 month appointment that I should start saying consonant sounds at about 8 months. The very next day, I started to say "ba ba." So now I say lots of things, including ooo ah, ba, da, ma, ga and the latest, ta. I'll be speaking in full sentences before you know it...just kidding, of course :)
