Hurricane Celia

Celia has only been in this world 10 1/2 months and she's already headline news. She's currently a Category 2 hurricane south of Manzanillo, Mexico and luckily hasn't hit land yet.

I'm Gonna Be A Star!

Mother's Day

We had a great Mother's Day. We took Celia on her first camping trip! We went to Cedar Hill State Park in Grand Prairie. Celia did great, although she had a little trouble figuring out that she was supposed to go to sleep since she wasn't in a crib.  We had fun sitting by the fire, looking at the water, roasting marshmallows and walking around.

Finally!

Dad took Celia to WalMart so I'm FINALLY getting around to posting some pictures. Here are some pics from the past two months. Celia is almost 10 months now! She's getting so big. She loves to crawl, stand-up, cruise, laugh, clap and wave bye-bye. She has four teeth and two more on the top coming in. At her 9-month appointment she was 17 pounds and 29 inches long. She loves all food so far except cottage cheese (which I don't blame her because mommy doesn't like it either). At school she regularly takes food off other babies trays - the teachers can't believe she's so skinny because she eats so much.

I was out of town at the beginning of the month for business and John decided to take Celia for a swim in the pool. She loved it! Here are some pics from her second dip after I got home.

Sometimes at school they put the babies hair in ponytails or braids.  Celia doesn't have much hair so they put it in tiny little ponytails that looked like a mohawk.  It was funny.

I'm A Crawler

Celia started crawling on April 10.  She's a pro now (and getting close to walking), but I thought I would share her first time crawling.  I didn't witness this because I was at work, but Dad and Aunt Whitney captured it on video for me.

Happy Easter & 8 Months

Celia is 8 months now! She's crawling (video coming soon), pulling up and clapping! She still has hair that sticks straight up, which I completely love. And as you can see from the pictures, she is just beautiful. At her last doctor visit (this morning) she was 16 pounds. We've seen the doctor a lot lately because of this cough that won't go away. For Easter we didn't go anywhere, but Aunt Whitney made her an awesome Easter basket so we took some pictures. They didn't come out great because I couldn't get her to look at the camera - there are too many interesting things to capture her attention these days.
