slacking

I know I have been slacking lately. But we have been CRAZY busy.

Teeth count: 7

Word count: 3+ (Mama, Dada, something that vaguely resembles Daphne, but kind of sounds like Dada too)

Attitude count: 100% attitude, 100% of the time. And she is only 10 months old. We are bumming!

Here are Cleo, Doug and Annabelle last weekend:

A few Vineyard pics

Our cottage


Nothing like a day at the beach...covered from head to toe...in July (next year it's the Carribean).



A nicer day


The mighty Atlantic


Cleo's new pal BunBun...bought in Edgartown in Martha's Vineyard. She likes to hug him and chew on his face


Cleo and BunBun...on the ferry back to the mainland


We were tired and had Cleo drive us home...she looked a little worried as she hasn't had any lessons yet


I'll post more off of our real camera...these are all from my cell phone.

9 Month Check up

Cleo had her 9 month check up last week. She weighed in at 20 lbs, 3 ozs and was 27.5" long...which is still 75th percentile for weight and 50th percentile for height. This visit was much more traumatic than past visits because she actually knew what was going on and pretty much started screaming from the moment we got her undressed until the exam was done. She also had to get one vaccine and her finger pricked to test for lead and anemia. Boy, is she a bleeder! It was a mess. Luckily though, we haven't heard anything back from the doctor and no news is good news...I was a bit worried about the lead in our house.

She is crawling like mad and has a mouth full of teeth. She is also pulling up on anything and everything. Daycare says, "Wow, she sure is active."

No kidding.

She also says "MaMa" and "DaDa" constantly...along with other baby nonsense. She LOVES Daphne and Trixie and the dogs are finally excepting of her and pretty much either ignore her or treat her as one of their own. She knows who I mean when I say "Daphne and Trixie" and will look for them. She seems to prefer Daphne and tries to actually say "Daphne" sometimes.

I have lots of little videos of her crawling and generally being cute...I just need to find the time to upload them!
