Brian & I were both proud of Carmen & excited. Last night we went to the neighbor's to hang out. We did the nighttime routine at their house (which is at 8 pm now) & put Carmen down to bed. She never made a peep, slept right through the transport back to her own bed at 11 pm and woke up at 6:20 am! Wahoo! It was her first time going to sleep for the night somewhere besides her own bed.
Carmen has experienced her first cold. You can tell in her eyes in the pictures below. She is a trooper though, she doesn't seem to feel bad, just less energy. You can tell those smiles & coos are harder to squeak out. She hasn't fussed much about it - even when we suck her nose out (do you suppose it's possible that she figured out it helps? She was quite mad the first few times but doesn't scream with it all the time now). She did really good at daycare yesterday...I called Alisa yesterday afternoon to check on Carmen. Alisa had just gotten done feeding her and she was resting her eyes. Alisa put the phone up to Carmen's ear so I could talk to her. Alisa said as soon as she heard my voice she popped open her eyes & smiled really big. :) Now if that doesn't make a Mom's heart smile! Alisa has commented several times on what a good baby Carmen is and how blessed we are that she sleeps & eats good and just goes w/ things.



Halloween was fun. Alisa liked her little outfit...Laura gave Carmen the "I love My Mummy" shirt. We never really got to show off the glow in the dark part but that's ok!
Carmen went to her first birthday party today! Logan, my neighbor/friend's son (that I walk with all the time) is 3. There were 5 other babies there & about 5 toddlers, Carmen was the youngest (though not the smallest - there was a little guy there 12 weeks old but was smaller than her!) She did excellent even amongst the chaos, even took a 30 minute nap (someone remind me of this if I mention a big birthday party for Carmen!)
