19 Weeks

Just a quick one today - I seem to have so little time these days!!  Carmen has had a good week - she has consistently only woken up once a night, which is wonderful.  She has also rolled over from her back to her stomach several times, but I have missed every single event.  She LOVES bananas and is actually swallowing her solid food now - although she is getting sweet potato today, so we'll see.  Her Uncle Sting came down for a visit - he hasn't seen her since she was a "raisin" (his term).  And Carmen actually let me take her on two walks this week in her pram!  Now that she can sit upright she doesn't seem to mind it, so yay (!) I can finally start shedding some poundage!  Of course yesterday was a heat wave so we couldn't take a walk, and now it is scheduled to rain for the next five days...
Also, I forgot to mention last week that at her 4 month doctor appointment Carmen got weighed and measured.  She started out life in the 10th percentile for weight and the 25th for height, and now she is in the 40th for weight and the 90th for height!  She takes after her father!!  I am thanking all the powers that be for that!  Let's just hope she stays tall and slender, shall we?
