2 months

8 weeks and counting--so hard to believe our baby girl is growing so much. 

• She is now 9 lbs 15 oz
• Much to mommy's dismay, Carmen has outgrown her cow, monkey and giraffe sleepers, mommy's favorites
• Newborn size diapers are a bit too snug and she has graduated to big girl diapers (size 1)
• Carmen can now roll from her front to her back
• She has some new cues and rubs her right ear when she is sleepy
• Bath time is actually enjoyable and she now loves the warm water
• She is smiling more often and grinning bigger than ever before and she melts our hearts every time

While lots of things are changing, some things remain the same:

• After meal time she still gives a big stretch with both hands over her head
• She still loves to perch on your shoulder and rest her head on her hands
• Sitting like a tree frog is still a favorite position and she will cling as long as you let her

She never ceases to amaze us and we can't wait for her next milestone; she certainly keeps us on our toes!

Happy Valentine's Day

Weekend Away

We just returned from a nice long weekend away.  We headed to the snow and spent two nights outside of Leavenworth with the Skurki family.  It was Carmen's first road trip and overnighter and she was a trooper.  She thoroughly enjoyed spending lots of time with her Grandma, Grandpa, aunties and uncles and was so happy to be held by all of her cousins.  This allowed Mom and Dad to lounge and relax by the fire and eat way too much, but we enjoyed every minute of it.



Welcome to Oma Lodge.



All bundled up in my snuggly for a walk.

   

Checking out the snow with Daddy.

I love my new jammies and head band.
 

Me and my cousins.
 

Just the girls.
 

Goodbye for now. 
 Looking forward to my next adventure.













Good Morning

Here is an action packed video of Carmen waking up to a new day.  Highlights include: a few smiles, a stretch or two and even some sneezes.  Happy viewing!
