Quick report from the weekend...before I'm off to bed! Carmen had an excellent weekend & did very well on her first roadtrip! She slept 99% of the time and the musical toy/lights/mirror that we got at a shower was a hit! It hangs on the back seat so she can see it. She was a chatter box all weekend and showed off her pretty smile to everyone. She just did SO good, I was impressed (& relieved). She told Alisa ALL about her weekend today. Alisa said she "talked & talked & talked"...and that was even written on her daily report. Her 3 pm feeding she only ate 3 oz because she was so busy talking, cooing & smiling (right now she's eating 5-6 oz each feeding during the day). So when I picked her up at 5:30, she was READY for food!!! Luckily she held out until we made it home w/o complaining too much. ;) Brian made it home safely. We have him home tonight & tomorrow night, then he goes out of town for work until Friday & deer hunting again Friday.


My favorite picture from the weekend! The girl was all smiles all weekend long!



My cousin Marsha with Carmen


Marsha's son Austin trying to cuddle before the hunger cries set in.



Minta & Carmen. Minta was my piano teacher 3rd to 12th grade. We still keep in touch, she is special to me. Carmen smiled for Minta, and also mustered up a dirty diaper while we were there!


Great Aunt Suzie with Carmen

Mema & Carmen in front of the mirror, which she liked! Mom & Dad had the changing table all set up for Carmen to use. It was the changing table that I used also. Mom figured it up - Carmen was the 10th baby to use it.

Great Grandma, me & C - the girls in pink.

This picture is from Thursday evening when Brian was feeding her. This is pretty much how she fell asleep. Silly girl!


Getting dressed to go running with Mommy! This will be the last time she wears the pumpkin hat. Besides almost being out of season, it is now a little small. She wasn't sure she wanted to go, but once we got moving-- it was lights out!
