Yeah I figured it out!!! Here are a few pictures from Sunday when Carmen & I went for a walk.

The jacket is too big but it served it's purpose!

Here she is - practicing her ba-bas. :)

It just seems like nothing is simple these days. Yesterday---downloading from the borrowed camera was simple. Today...won't work. Seriously. This is getting OLD!!!! I just need things to work! :{

A few pictures from Martha from the weekend. Carmen is doing a good job with the cereal. We are working on "hands down please" and she is doing really well with it!

Carmen sticks out her tongue a lot now.

This was Carmen's Valentine's Day outfit.


First time eating cereal.

Payton, Riley, Lauren & Carmen

Carmen REALLY likes watching the cats. She gets so excited. She also starts looking around now when she hears a "meow".

Pictures with Pepa while he visited!

Her official 5 month photo. She is quickly outgrowing the bunny!

I don't have my camera back yet but I've got Mom & Dad's loaded up on my computer. I'll post a video tomorrow of Carmen starting "ba ba ba" today!

UPDATE UPDATE! Ok so I got a call back today. Even though I had given the camera folks the benefit of the doubt, I didn't give it long enough. The camera repair man passed away! He worked out of the home w/ his wife, so she called back today & said she just has been having a hard time. I felt bad! But did explain I would like to pick up my camera & take it elsewhere...she promised she'd let me know where he was in the process by next week. I think I'm going to have to download the software for Mom & Dad's camera!

Still no camera and I've about lost my patience with Now Camera & Lens (I am starting the bad PR here!) They're located in Shawnee, KS - don't use them!!! Terrible customer service. They won't return my calls.

Carmen's really been complaining about her gums this week. She's rolling over both ways - but I've yet to see it. I think Alisa must be fibbin!!!! (I think she is just tired of entertaining by nighttime).

Hope to know more soon about my camera & get back on track w/ updates!!!

Ok so Dad loaned me their camera & I printed out some pictures to scan in! Still working on getting my camera back & confess to getting irritated. :\ The repairman obviously doesn't understand how attached I am to my camera!

Carmen blowing raspberries. For a few days she was blowing out her lips and keeping them so tight together that she was holding her breath. Her face would turn read & cheeks would puff up. Funny stuff.



Pepa made Carmen look quite studious with his glasses. Believe it or not this picture was taken in about 1 second - just enough time to put them on, snap the pic & take them off before she started moving around.



Mommy & Carmen! Maybe the eyes are the same?




Daddy & Carmen - definitely the same face shape.


Funny girl!

Today at daycare Carmen rolled over front to back & back to front. We worked with her yesterday and she did roll over once back to front. Poor Alisa - she didn't want to tell me since it had happened in front of her & not us!

Carmen started on cereal yesterday! I am going to try to make her food, so she is enjoying brown rice cereal right now. I think once I get a system down it will be simple and much much cheaper!

I am sorry to report...still no camera!! I called Friday & they're waiting for the LCD screen to arrive. I'm hoping this week. I told him my baby is growing daily & I NEED PHOTOS!!! :) I feel so lost! Dad has been taking pics - now I just need to figure out a way to get them to my computer!

Carmen is doing well. Still working on rolling over. Hasn't quite made it just yet. She has not been eating quite right lately, not sure if it's the congestion or what - I guess she knows her body the best though! She has giggled a few times this weekend - I thought for sure it'd lead into a full blown laugh. Still pretty cute stuff. She's making lots of raspberries - blowing out spit. It's funny - I need to get it on video for her fan club!

We went to church this morning - Carmen did really well. She usually does - but she also has been known for talking & giggling through church so the people around us are more entertained by Carmen than Pastor Rick. ;)

Finally we have speakers - now if I can just get my camera back. Man do I feel lost without it!!!

Here are a few fun videos from our late Christmas weekend with the Link's. Anna & Alaina had a ball playing with Carmen! And of course Carmen loves it too!

We had a good weekend. Carmen is doing well. Little turkey got up this morning at 5:15, which is quite early for her. I got up & fed her, put her back in bed & turned out the lights. I think she was confused at first. She got to bed late (8 pm) last night, so I didn't want to deprive her (or me) of valuable rest. She slept until 8 am! She has had some congestion & a cough but is better today. She still acts fine - plays, smiles, talks, etc. - so we haven't been too concerned.

This past week she started working on rolling over. I think she probably would have had it mastered by now but she has been resting more since she's had a cold. First things first - so I'm glad she's sleeping more to help her heal.
