Cleamons is accused of murdering her baby earlier this year by putting him in scalding hot water.
Eleven days after his death, Cleamons posted multiple pictures and videos of the adorable baby boy, whose name hasn't been released, in a memorial montage on her Facebook account.
The post included pictures of her son as a newborn in the hospital, as well as pictures of him in a diaper and in the bath.
She shared a video of the boy smiling and splashing in his baby bath.
"Rest in love my baby," Cleamons wrote in the tribute on February 15.
"I love you so much and I miss you so much my heart is so broken.
"I will always think about you Rest in heaven my love."
Police issued a warrant for Cleamons' arrest and charged her with injury to a child and manslaughter on June 13.
The arrest warrants were obtained months after cops were dispatched to a home in Hooks, Texas, 13 miles west of Texarkana, on February 4.
First responders performed CPR on Cleamons' baby at the scene but were unable to revive him.

Cleamons admitted to investigators that she put her son in scalding hot water while bathing him two weeks earlier.

The hot water caused severe injuries to the baby boy's skin.
He died from his burns, according to his autopsy.
Timeline of Jatoria Renae Cleamons' case
Jatoria Renae Cleamons, 21, has been accused of killing her baby in the bath because he had a dirty diaper.
Below is a rough timeline of events:
Around January 21 - Cleamons allegedly gave a scalding hot bath to her eight-month-old son at her home in Texarkana, Texas, after she was frustrated because of his dirty diaper.
February 4 - Police are called to a home in Hooks, Texas, where they perform CPR on Cleamons' son and pronounce him dead. His body is sent off for an autopsy and Cleamons tells investigators about the bath.
June 13 - Hooks Police Department obtains warrants for Cleamons' arrest.
June 16 - Cleamons is still on the loose.
Cleamons was staying with a relative when the baby died.
It's unclear why the Hooks Police Department waited months to obtain arrest warrants for Cleamons.
As of Monday, Cleamons still hadn't been arrested, cops told the Texarkana Gazette.
She's still on the loose, despite baseless social media posts claiming she was arrested on June 14.
Cops have asked the public for help looking out for Cleamons.

Married deputy headteacher, 51, befriended schoolgirl and had sex with her before being caught because she told a pal, court hears
A married English teacher and safeguarding lead at a secondary school in Cornwall allegedly had sex with a 16-year-old pupil in his car and at her home while her father was away, a court has heard. John Harvey, 51, who was an assistant head teacher at Penryn College, is said to have formed a relationship with the girl while she was still a student – and gone on to have sexual intercourse with her on multiple occasions. He is now standing trial at Truro Crown Court, accused of two counts of sexual activity with a child while in a position of trust – charges he denies. The court was told on Monday that although the girl was above the normal age of consent, the law sets stricter rules when a teacher is involved with a pupil – and in this case, the sexual relationship was illegal. Nigel Wraith, prosecuting, told the jury that Harvey had taken advantage of his position to begin an inappropriate relationship with the girl, which allegedly took place outside school, including in his car and at her home when her father was away. He explained that while the general age of sexual consent is 16, that rises to 18 in cases involving adults in positions of trust, such as teachers. He said: 'A middle age teacher having sex with a 16-year-old pupil is an offence.' John Harvey, 51, who was an assistant head teacher at Penryn College, is said to have formed a relationship with the girl while she was still a student Penryn College. He is now standing trial at Truro Crown Court, accused of two counts of sexual activity with a child while in a position of trust – charges he denies The jury heard that the teenager had been 'in love' with Harvey, who told her to keep the relationship secret because he was married with children – and feared losing his job and being sent to prison if anyone found out. The prosecution said the relationship continued even after the girl left Penryn College and began attending Truro College. There were reportedly two pregnancy scares, and the pair kept in contact via text messages even after the relationship began to fizzle out. Mr Wraith told the court the relationship came to light only after the girl confided in a friend. At first, she had been reluctant to speak out, feeling embarrassed about her involvement and not wanting Harvey to get into trouble. But her friends grew increasingly concerned and decided to report the situation to Devon and Cornwall Police – fearing other pupils could also be at risk. Harvey was later arrested and interviewed. He told police that he completely denied the accusations and claimed the alleged incidents were simply 'a figment of her imagination.' The jury heard that the case centres not on whether the relationship was forced – but whether Harvey abused his position of power as a teacher and safeguarding lead. The trial continues.

Seven California men charged in largest jewelry heist in U.S. history, prosecutors say
Seven Southern California men were charged in connection with what federal prosecutors described Tuesday as the largest jewelry heist in U.S. history. The defendants, all of whom are from the Los Angeles area, allegedly stole roughly $100 million in gold, diamonds, rubies, emeralds and luxury watches from an armored car in July 2022, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office for California's Central District. They were indicted June 11 on two counts of conspiracy to commit theft from interstate and foreign shipment and theft from interstate and foreign shipment, the prosecutor's office said in a news release. The defendants were identified as: Carlos Victor Mestanza Cercado, 31 Jazael Padilla Resto, 36 Pablo Raul Lugo Larroig, 41 Victor Hugo Valencia Solorzano, 60 Jorge Enrique Alban, 33, Jeson Nelon Presilla Flores, 42 Eduardo Macias Ibarra, 36 Five of the men were also charged with two counts of conspiracy to interfere with commerce by robbery and interference with commerce by robbery, the prosecutor's office said. Two of the men were expected to appear in federal court Tuesday. Padilla is incarcerated in Arizona, where the prosecutor's office said he is in prison on a burglary charge. It isn't clear if they have lawyers to speak on their behalf. A copy of the indictment shows that Padilla allegedly scouted an international jewelry show in San Mateo, just south of San Francisco, on July 8, 2022. Two days later, Padilla and several others allegedly followed a Brinks semitruck with 73 bags containing millions of dollars in jewelry from San Mateo to rest stops in Buttonwillow, in the state's Central Valley, and Lebec, north of Los Angeles, according to the indictment. On July 11, the seven men allegedly stole two-dozen bags from the truck, the indictment shows. The indictment does not say how they gained access to the truck. Brinks did not immediately respond to a request for comment, nor did a spokesperson for the prosecutor's office. After the alleged theft, the group traveled to East Hollywood with the stolen goods. Most of the defendants deactivated the phones they'd been using to communicate about the heist in the days that followed, according to the indictment. The indictment says the victims tallied the value of the stolen goods at $100 million. The news release says some of that jewelry was recovered when authorities executed search warrants Monday, but the value of those items isn't clear. Nor is it clear what happened to the rest of the jewelry. Several of the defendants were also accused of stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars of Samsung electronics from interstate cargo shipments and nearly $60,000 in Apple AirTags. Those alleged thefts occurred in 2022, before the jewelry heist, according to the prosecutor's office.
