Daycare Star!

Carmen made the daycare slide show multiple times this month.......

Although I know there are some rough times, this is reassuring in my mind that she's having fun and doing very well every day I'm at work!! :-)

Carmen's First Easter

We had a very full day today.  Started out going to church....

Then off to my Uncle Tom's where Carmen got to see some cows, sheep, dogs and cats up close.

We ended the day at Grandma and Grandpa Benedicts.  We had an Easter Egg Hunt and Carmen got lots of gifts! Thanks All!

We are all exhausted, but had a very fun first Easter with Carmen.

Big Girl High Chair

Tonight when Carmen ate, we tried out the booster chair/high chair in place of the Bumbo chair.   She was just starting to move around too much and I think she was getting too big for the Bumbo chair.

She looked so little in the high chair, but it worked out SO much better.  She wasn't able to move around as much and could just concentrate on eating.  In fact she ate the entire bowl of cereal I made her PLUS a bunch of applesauce. (it's a first for both!).  YEAH!  She's getting so big.

As she was eating I had to snap a few pictures.  Enjoy!

Carmen's First Trip to the Zoo

Andy and I both had the day off today.  Andy got it off after a LONG tax season and I took it off so we could spend the day as a family.  We spent the day at the MN Zoo with Carmen and had a blast.  Even though Carmen is still a bit young,  she seemed to enjoy looking at the animals.

Warning: There are a lot of pictures.....
