Another Present Strikes Again

Uncle Mark outdid himself, yet again. I can't wait for her to grow into this....

Your little ladybug loves you, Uncle Mark!

Almost 1!

Lucy is fast approaching her first birthday - must to my disbelief. I am sure this week will be filled with memories of last year at this time. Cody keeps mentioning the wonderful food he ate while I suffered at the hospital - so much for his memories. Anyway, Lucy has a big thank you for Uncle Mark, who sent Lucy her very first birthday present. Lucybug loves her Uncle Mark!


I love my ladybug pillow!
new car seat... she looks so grownup!
Helping Mommy fold laundry - although I think she is more interested in her cheerios.

Happy Chinese Easter Gelato!

Lucy exploring her Easter basket from Grandma Jackie and Grandpa Tom. She got 3 baskets all together! Spoiled?



We have been busy over the past few weeks, and it doesn't look like life is going to slow down any time soon. Many firsts happened, so we decided to share them with you! Enjoy the barrage of pictures. From Daddy's birthday chinese feast, to sharing Italian icecream over a beautiful holiday weekend, Lucy has had an eventful time.


Daddy was tired, so he decided to take a nap
...but Lucy didn't want him to nap alone.
Lucy enjoying her first fortune cookie during Daddy's birthday dinner. I have never seen a man salivating so profusely for Chinese.

Daddy actually sharing his gelato. He must love his daughter because he never shares any with me!

Happy Easter from the Klement family!

Start of Spring Break Fun

Ready for fun in the sun


It's Lucy's first Spring Break, and she couldn't be more excited (as is Mommy, who has a full week off school thank goodness!). It's only day two, and we have already been to 2 different parks, been shopping, and had a random play date on the street. We are excited to be going in to Dallas this week, too, and spending time with Grandma and Grandpa. Mommy is excited to go shopping... apparently for a thesaurus to replace the word excited...
Checking my email like my cousins Maddie and Izzie.
Mommy's 'Happy Break' Flowers from Daddy.
Sliding break at the outlet mall.
Mommy and me just finishing up a slide.


My first swing!

"I really want to go down that slide please, Mommy."

"Daddy, can I slide down again?"

March Madness!

I'm a big kid now!


Lucy is just a bundle of cute fun nowadays. She is closer to crawling, talking nonstop, and definitely an attention-seeker. Here are some photos and videos that captured her adorableness over the past month.





"Mommy, can I have some string cheese too?"


Eating my very first pancake - just like Sid the Science Kid.

Playtime fun

I found out how to get in the DVD cabinet and pull movies off the shelf!

Crackers and Cheese, please

My first pizza! Just like Daddy.




Talk time


Grandma Porky is so much fun!

Seriously? It's February already?

I really don't know where the time has gone. Life has been incredibly busy, and I am a pathetic blogger. I am thinking after this year is up, I might just resort to posting pictures on Facebook for everyone's Lucy pleasure. This blog thing is just not me. Don't get mad now, I am not trying to spark a controversy. You do your thing, and I'll do mine. Next...

So Lucy has been chattering for awhile now, but she for sure has learned 2 new words in addition to Dada. She says Mama, and BYE. Sometimes she says baba, but BYE is her new favorite word. She loves to wave and say 'bye' all the time - to everyone, everywhere, especially church. She is, apparently, everyone's cute little distraction at mass. Sorry about that! She isn't crawling yet, but it will be any day now, and that is fine. I like her immobile for the time being. But one thing is for certain, she is still the cutest little thing in the world!

Here are some pictures from our snow day today. She likes the taste and texture tremendously!

2010 Came On Too Fast!

The last almost month has been a blur! We even had two weeks off for Christmas, and they seem like long ago. Right now we are in the midst of a bronchial infection; but hopefully it is making its way out. Lucy is in great spirits though, despite her unfortunate pain. I hate winter!

Clapping is her new thing -- all the time and for everything. Mainly only for Mommy and Daddy, though - she doesn't like to show off to others. She is also sitting unassisted pretty well, so that's a plus. I also found out today that the key to calming her down is to put on a Leslie Sansone Walk at Home DVD. You would have thought Leslie was Santa Claus with how gargantuan the smile was that she bestowed upon the walking icon! I created a little walker, that is for sure!

Christmas and New Years were amazing, and all too fast. Visiting so many family members made for a memorable end to 2009. Lucy also received her first white Christmas, so it was extra special. Sadly, out of all the truckloads of presents, I believe her favorite was a chew toy for the dog. Oh well, we know what to get her next year, and Santa gets out easy!

Happy 2010! Or o'10 as hubby likes to say.
Muenster Christmas


Dallas Christmas

Sitting in the wooden baby doll high chair that Great Uncle Larry made. She was very interested in eating all of her gifts.The newly fashioned "old-lady" face. Doesn't she look like a Muppet?
