Such a fun weekend - lots of togetherness & family time! I loved it!

Carmen & I went to the pool both days....Sunny & Laura joined us. Carmen is a little fish. I am so proud of her! Yesterday I put her under the water for the first time. We did that 4x yesterday - the last two times I asked her if she wanted to do it and she said yes...came up smilin'. She did really well at closing her mouth and eyes. We ride the bike to the pool - we have to strap stuff on top but it's easier than putting a baby w/ a wet swimsuit in the car seat!


This picture makes me laugh. As the saying goes "sometimes things aren't what they seem". It looks as though Sunny is pushing Carmen under the water & Laura is trying to stop her. The real story. Sunny is headed towards Carmen, looses her balance, starts to fall, puts her hands out which just happen to be while Carmen is squatting into the water. Laura is trying to catch Sunny & keep Carmen above water. The moment wasn't that big of a deal but the picture looks like there was more to it. HA! :)






And after you swim, you get a yummy snack! Strawberries & blueberries!






Carmen was having a ball when I pulled her around in the water & took her under. We will work on blowing more bubbles next time...so she can hold her breath longer.






Carmen & her cousins Anna & Alaina (from last weekend). She was so tired but was being such a good sport.

She really giggled when they were swinging all 3...

We have a book "Have you seen my cat"? Here is Carmen reading it. It was so cute! She reads it like we have read it to her and even has the "no that's not my cat" down. The book is very repetitive, same words over & over.

Speaking of - have you seen my cat?

21 month photos

Thankfully the bunny is more popular these days.



Brian carrying a bucket.




That's nothing new! Is there something in the bucket?


It's Carmen!

At daycare, it's "zoo" month. Here is Carmen's panda mask. In the first picture she is saying "cheese" - can you see her eyes?

More "cheese"...


Baldwin family reunion was Saturday. We went to visit Meme & Pepa (Papa per Carmen), Lori, Haley & Austin. We had fun! Carmen did excellent on Saturday playing hard w/o an afternoon nap.






Carmen & the newest addition to the Baldwin family...Charlotte (3 months old).


Carmen was so gentle with Charlotte.









Kids & a little fun contest.



























Nicole & Jessica were so good with Carmen! Carmen loved it!



Carmen loved Annika...Annika not feelin the love back. :)
