See my teeth! Carmen's 2 teeth are coming up quick. I tried getting a few pictures of them, it's kinda like trying to hold onto the cat while giving them a bath. If you click on the picture it should open in it's own window & you can see good then.


Just love this outfit!

We chuckled at this picture. :)

Sleeping beauty.


Her swimsuit that Alisa got her at the Branson the women's conference weekend.


Carmen's friend Sunny came over for a flower photo shoot. Unfortunately a lot of the tulips had alreayd done there thing, but we still got some good ones. I love these two.




Carmen came home yesterday with a barrette!


Carmen is enjoying standing - she has more interest in standing than crawling. She sure acts like she's ready to chase after the cats though!

April 22, 2009

Today is a special day for all of us in the Link house!!! It's our 5 year anniversary! In observance, Carmen & I did a photo shoot in front of Daddy's pretty flowers! :) We, by far, have the prettiest in our neighborhood!





Here's video from a few weeks ago (Easter weekend). Carmen & Mother Goose...she was also very hungry. :)















I cannot decide which picture is the best?!?!? They're all good!











This one might just be the favorite. :)








Something different...


Would you look at Daddy's pretty flowers?









She's standing in this picture (with my help).


Carmen SmilesALot Link
And afterwards, she had a bath...which she loves. Here are some screams for you.





I tried getting a picture of her tooth. In most pictures, it appeared that I was just trying to get a picture of the pimple below her lip! You can at least see the "bumps" here.

Carmen has a tooth!!!
Enjoy these videos taken on Friday...I laughed & laughed & laughed!




This was the first time I'd seen her make this face - must have been the tooth that was making her do it!



Some of MaMa's pics from Easter. I just love this one of the 3 of them!

Happy Easter!

First I wanted to update you on my camera. For those of you that have been following that saga...would you believe the old camera is now working? So - do we keep the new camera & buy a new computer?!??!?! I'd still need to buy another $40 battery for it - so that is probably my answer. :)

Lots of new pictures to post! I always think I'm doing a good job taking pictures...until I download & realize I've not gotten any with Pepa, or MaMa & Papa Link, or Tara, or Haley & Austin or ... etc. :{ We had a good time with family this weekend. We had an interesting drive home today - Carmen cried for the last 20-30 minutes of the drive. That's probably the most she's cried in the last 4 months combined! We're not sure what the deal was - I think she was still hungry (we stopped to feed her & had no more warm water) & just tired. She had a big weekend of entertaining her fans, the paparazzi was also in full force.


Carmen with her first Easter basket! It's from her special friend Kerry George (from church who babysits).


Carmen's 7 month photo!! As Mom said...the bunny is shrinking!


Brian took her outside last week when it was nice (and the wind wasn't blowing 90 mph). He couldn't get her to take her eyes off the grass!


Carmen's first boo-boo...she fell on a toy at daycare. Tough girl! No crying!






See how long her hair is getting? She has bed head some mornings now! :)
Aunt Lori preoccupied Carmen with this for a while - or maybe it's the other way around???



Great Aunt Suzie made her a little bunny for Easter. Carmen got to spend some time with Suzie & Great Grandma B.
Ok - I'm being serious when I say I nearly peed my pants during these next few pictures. I was laughing SO hard. Anna & Alaina set up a store/restaurant in their basement. They invited us to come check it out - everything was free yesterday (oh how I wish it were real life!) They were wanting to put Carmen in their baby's stroller & high chair. It didn't look too safe (we did try the stroller but only for a moment), so I suggested we try the clown wig instead. At first, Carmen was looking up & trying to pull it off. Until...we got upstairs! Everyone started laughing & then she got into entertaining the bunch. She laughed right along with everyone & wore that wig with pride. She was smiling from ear to ear.



Carmen liked Mother Goose - unless she was telling her story, then she wasn't so sure of it. I just love this picture. Those eyes!!! It was also getting close to feeding time so she had her sucker lips going.








More videos later! :)

April 4, 2009

I still can't believe I'm typing in April as the date!! I'll be taking Carmen's 7 month picture here in a few days! Guess I better work towards finding a functional camera before the 8th. We have a new one, but it's software isn't compatible w/ our "older" computer. I have a temporary solution to download pictures, but we cannot play video until I load it onto the blog. Nothing is simple! :)

Here are some more photos from when Mom & Dad were here. Here are some fun "hands" photos. Pepa, Mommy & Carmen.


Mema, Mommy & Carmen.

See how nice & clear the picture comes out when the hand isn't MOVING????


Pepa trying to read Goodnight Thumper to Carmen, she really would just rather turn the pages or chew on them.


Mema lovin' on Carmen & admiring her.


Carmen has been sleeping in her car seat since Monday. It really cut down on the coughing at night!
I took these one evening after she had her veggies. I was whistling (I have video I will download) and she just cracked up!
I took this from under her high chair, just thought it was cute. :)
