See how good Carmen is doing holding her head high?!? :) You can tell she is discovering the world now...that she can see more!
There's something to this expression that cracks me up.
Have some funny daycare stories. Tonight I picked Carmen up (Brian is working). When I walked in, Alisa said "Carmen, tell Mommy what you did today...and tell her she's getting a lump of coal in her stocking!" Carmen's first big "blow out"...we're sure glad it was with Alisa!!! She had to change Carmen's clothes - and her own! She also had to give her a little bath.
When I have dropped off Carmen, Alisa's son Jaren is always yelling "baby, baby, baby" when we walk in. Alisa said Jaren is quite protective of Carmen & tells the others to "not touch baby". Some of that is from what he hears Alisa say...the other little ones there are not allowed to touch the babies (germs, liability, etc.) Anywho - pretty cute stuff.
Carmen is grabbing for more & more things - and getting them to her mouth. She has hit a growth spurt and is now eating 6 oz consistently. Overnight - literally! Friday & Saturday nights both she woke up in the night to eat (Friday night 1x, Saturday night 2x). We fed her more on Sunday so we didn't have repeat performance! Sunday night she slept 11 hours straight w/o making so much as a peep.
Sunday we had a family dinner at Mike & Aunt B's. Carmen told lots of stories and showed off her pretty smile. She enjoyed time with Anna & Alaina - here's a pretty cute conversation between the Alaina & Carmen.
Uncle Troy & Aunt Tara playing with Carmen. Not sure if you can see how big her smile is - she was having a good time!
This is little Henry. He was also at the family dinner, he is 3 weeks older than Carmen. They didn't pay much attention to each other, although he did try to hold her hand when we had them sitting in the chair.
I started playing with Carmen this last week - kissing her on the neck. She just SMILES. She has started to anticipate when I'm going to "get her" again. It's not a very good picture, but you can kinda tell. :)
Carmen - off to daycare! I couldn't resist taking a picture. She looks so stinkin' cute in this hat!

I love it, I'm not the only one that snaps pictures of their baby in their carseat just b/c the hats look so cute! :) I can't tell you how many pictures I have like this...
OMG.. I laughed outloud at the hat picture! Great pics of all the events. I just love how Carmen "talks" to everyone. That was a cute video of her talking to Alana. Also, you get great smile pics of Carmen. I can't believe she's growing so fast! Glad Carmen is back to sleeping 11 hrs, whew!
