Carmen's First Snow

So this past weekend was the first time Carmen has seen snow.  Yes, there was plenty last year but she was way too little to take outside.

We were lucky enough to get several sets of hand me down snowsuits and boots, however they are all a bit big on her yet.   She wasn't too excited in being outside since she could barely move.


Our Little Cheerleader

Carmen wore this last weekend during the Gopher Game.... too bad it didn't help them win ;-)

Carmen loves to put things in her mouth.... we caught her one night with her entire brush handle in her mouth.

Our little........ Monkey!

I haven't had an opportunity to upload pictures from Halloween but here are a few of the professional pictures we had taken of Carmen in her Monkey Costume.

She was SUPER cute and such a good sport.  She didn't want to be held or sit in her stroller but totally preferred to walk.  We just took her to both Grandparents houses and then to the Eden Prairie Mall for Trick or Treating.  Next Year we will be taking her from house to house.






I will try to upload pictures from the day soon!

11 Months

Sorry no pictures... but I will try to post them soon!


What is new with Carmen?



Carmen...


... weighs 21 pounds 10 ounces..

… wears size 3 diapers. She is wearing all 12 month clothes and some 18 month shirts
... loves to eat! 
... has 6 teeth. 
... is still doing very well in swimming.
  Had a slight setback last week after having a stomach flu but still seemed to enjoy being in the water.


… is WALKING!!!!!! That is currently her only form of transportation and in fact she is on the verge of running at times.


...still enjoys her bath until she gets water dumped on her head and then she’s ready to get out.

... still loves to climb the stairs

... is "talking" more and more everyday. Says Mama and some Dada.....   A lot of things she will point to and say Mama.   Recently I started saying “All Better” after changing her diaper and she now says “All B….” It’s super cute.

… Looks up in the air no matter where she is when she hears an airplane.  Even spots them far away that sometimes Mommy and Daddy didn’t spot first.

… Enjoyed her first Halloween as a Monkey! (I will post pictures soon!).  We went to both Grandparents houses and then to the Eden Prairie Mall.   She walked all around and preferred to walk by herself.  She even carried her bucket with the candy in it.


...is sleeping very well and through the night!


… continues to smile at everyone!

Happy 11 Months Carmen!



Each and every month you learn something new.  Can’t wait to see what this coming month has in store for you before you turn the big 1 years old! 

WE LOVE YOU!!!!!
