Just Like Daddy

Here is Clover sporting her corrections gear. She's ready to take you down so watch out!

Roger's Graduation

Roger had his graduation from his 8 week training academy for the jail yesterday. He is now an official correctional officer of the state of Nevada. His graduation was at the jail and we got to go on a short tour of it. That was a little creepy. I saw the area where they eat, the kitchen, the medical facilities and the yard. We even saw inmates up close and personal, and let me tell you they scared me. I know I for sure don't ever want to go to jail! Here are some pictures of him getting sworn in and accepting his certificates and badge.

Clover's New Tricks

Clover is able to sit up by herself, kind of... When I sit her up she can hold herself up on her own usually but she is still pretty wobbly and topples over after a minute or two. But this is a big accomplishment. She is almost there and I'm so proud of her. Also last night while we were sleeping (yes, she sleeps in bed with us. I know everyone thinks it's bad but it works for us) she woke up and rolled over from her back to her tummy. I was so excited I woke Roger up to tell him. She is also talking a whole lot. She does this babbling screeching thing that is pretty funny. One more thing, she has also figured out how to stick out her tongue and blow raspberries with her mouth. It seems like she learns something new everyday. They grow up so fast don't they....

Doing Some Laundry

This is what it looks like when I try and get some laundry done. I put the baby in the basket and take her along with me to put the clothes in and out of the wash. She actually enjoys this little adventure. I tell her she's the baby in the basket and i'm going to wash her. She is almost too big and heavy to be doing this anymore (she weighed just shy of 18 pounds and was 25 1/4 inches long at her last doctor's visit last week. The doc said she is off the charts for weight and in the 95 percentile in height). She looked so cute today i had to take some pictures of her and share this story with you. Hey, you've got to think up some inventive ways to get things done around the house when you have a 4 1/2 month old right moms?
