Here is a picture of the one of the few naps that Carmen took today. Rough afternoon for Little Miss. This morning she woke up so happy, then the three of us laid on the floor and she talked & watched us. We did that for probably 30 minutes, then it was naptime. Apparently that was too much stimulation because it was all downhill from there! She just didn't nap well. We went back to our resource, Babywise, which indicates when they're fussy, it's time for a nap which may mean some times of crying. So we learned a few things today and we'll need to start adjusting naptimes so that she gets consistently good naps.
Yesterday we went to Wal-Mart. She was actually awake for a good part of the shopping. She was just looking at the lights & hangin' out. (We went to pick up some groceries & some Selsum Blue, to try to help the cradle cap/dandruff.) Then it started to happen...I was going to be one of "them" - the person w/ the screaming child. So I picked her up out of her car seat, held her for a few minutes. Pushing a cart while holding a baby isn't easy but doable. It didn't take long and she was out. So back in the seat she went & had a good nap.
The Dr. gave specific instructions to not let the Selsum Blue get in her eyes. So I had the idea to use a Qtip & do her eyebrows while she was sleeping vs. in the bath (you have to leave it on 5 minutes). A blue unibrow...she'll love me for this.
She had great bath time last night. We made it nice & toasty in the bathroom. She laid in her little mesh seat like she was in a lounge chair at the beach. It was fun for all of us! Sorry no photos, it's hard to take photos and give her a bath. Funny how bath time uses two adults for one 10 lb baby!

Nice unibrow! Great idea though! ...while she's sleeping...clever! I think we can get away with doing lots of things to them while sleeping. I think maybe I'll clean Sunny's ears next time she's sleeping! Plus the filing of the nails, which is always a must!
Dear Carmen,
I love you. I love Brian, Tina, Carmen, Lilly and Simon. I gave you kisses on the computer when we watched your video. We watched it over and over and over again. I love it! I love you Carmen Elizabeth Link.
Love, Alaina Lynn Link
My Carmen how you have grown already! What a precious smile and sweet sounds you make. We miss you and Mommy and Daddy! Visiting your blog is always a treat.
Love, Uncle Troy, Aunt Tara, Anna Kate and Alaina
