One is Fun!

The Birthday Cupcake Herself!


Wow! How that first year went by quickly! Well, everything after the first 6 weeks... the first 6 weeks were wonderful misery, but extremely long... I am just amazed more and more every day at the vast amount of knowledge Lucy is attaining. Her vocabulary is enormous. Today she said both 'please' and 'thank you', in addition to 'all done' and 'Gus' (our dog). At least, we think that is what she is saying - and I am sticking to it. What she lacks in motor, she definitely makes up for in verbal. We celebrated her birthday over the weekend with our family and friends. Thank you to all who helped commemorate her special day... and an extreme gift of graciousness is bestowed upon both Grandmas, Aunt Julie, and Aunt Stacie who helped clean (I love you all even more now!). Here are some pictures from the party. Enjoy, and cheers to what is ahead!


Ice cream b-day treat at The Center


After our one-year well visit (and shots, yuck!), we had to play in the bluebonnets.

The homemade sweets (more cakes and pies were added to this table later - enough to make your sweet tooth ache in agony!).


She loves this table from Grandpa Tom and Grandma Jackie. Definitely a winner!

Cousins!

Having her cake, and eating it, too!


"Driving" home from Church with Daddy. Love the dress, Father Ken!

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!
