Carmen has been doing super at night. The last 2 nights she's gone 6 hours between feedings, then the second stretch was 4 hours. Good baby for letting Mom & Dad sleep!!! :)

We went to church today, Laura & Sunny sat with us. Laura wanted to see her so Brian got her out of the carseat. He said she smelled, so of course assumed it was a dirty diaper. No dirty diaper, but the cold air did make Carmen pee all over Daddy, and all over her clothes. So there we are (after church), changing her diaper. I had not gone prepared with all of the proper equipment, so we had to borrow things from Laura. Like her changing pad and a onesie (since Carmen's clothes were soaked!) She did that twice (peed). A funny moment & a learning lesson for Mom & Dad (take all equipment everywhere always).

My Aunt Suzie made this set for her, it's made of silk so it's super soft. She will look darling!

The terrible crying face. Thankfully she doesn't make it very often. Isn't it pathetic?

My friend Daphne gave her this monkey outfit, hat, blanket & stuffed monkey. It's been a favorite of mine, and Daddy's!

This little bonnett cracks me up. It's Carmen's walking bonnett. Too big but keeps the sun out of the eyes!

See how good Carmen is doing holding up her head during tummy time?!? She works so hard! She really isn't cross eyed, just looks like it here. :)

I swear she smiled back at me this morning. She is really starting to get into it when you talk to her, she likes it. She goes back for her one month check up on the 9th. I'll be anxious to see how much she weighs! Her baby acne seems to have flared up a lot more, I know it's normal but I'll still ask the Doc. Some of the red marks I think are scratch marks, she's gotten me a few times & it hurts! I try to file her nails every few days...I hope they don't always grow this fast!!!

She isn't very happy at the moment. She's so close to feeding time & I'd bet Daddy sat down with her vs. walking around (he blames me for that...since I was always walking, running, biking, etc.) So I better go see how I can help out!
