Baldwin Christmas with Carmen

Mema, Pepa & Carmen

Not sure if I'm supposed to be doing this & hopefully nobody catches me...


Austin, Haley & C

I wish the girl was loved. :)



Great Grandma being entertained by Carmen. Carmen even read for Grandma while we were there - from her cooking magazine.



Silly kid.

Smoothies with Pepa...they taste much better than Mommy's (probably! Pepa's are straight up, Mommy adds milk!)

Here's the blanket Great Grandma made for Carmen.




Getting the hang of opening presents, getting less concerned about the torn paper.



Carmen's first blog entry.

Carmen likes ring around the rosie. One day she was standing in the kitchen (where we had most recently sang the song). She was rocking back & forth and singing something. She had enough of the tune right that I could decipher what she wanted - ring around the rosie! Here we are tonight getting a little action on video.
Carmen's got a few new words: okay, uh-uh (as in "no"). If in the mood, she will repeat what you say - like tonight she repeated "shredder". She can say the daycare kid's names, most anyway. She communicates very well and understands about 90% of what you say. It's neat watching her learn - you can tell when she is soaking up what you're saying. Scarry thing is when she looks as though she isn't paying attention but then is able to communicate about what you just said.
This winter weather is ridiculous! -3 is the high for Friday, that's just crazy. We are under a storm warning currently - tomorrow we are expecting blizzard like conditions. I am grateful that my boss has suggested we work from home and allowed us to leave early today for safer travels! This kind of weather keeps Brian very busy! Job security I guess!

Dear Carmen,
I hope you had a happy Christmas. I liked all of your videos, especially Ring Around the Rosy. When you were at the farm it was fun playing with you. I hope you liked the cows.
