8 Months & 35 Weeks!

I don't have great photos this week, as it has been raining raining raining!!  I have never seen so much rain, and it is miserable with a baby who goes stir crazy in this small house if I don't get her out.  We miss the beach and the park!!  But Carmen has spent lots of time practising her crawling - she crawls like she has been shot, dragging her back legs behind her.  She must be getting some very buff little arms!  She has also taken to feeding herself, but tends to cram as many little pieces of food into her mouth as she possibly can before trying to swallow, and needless to say, she has had the upside down whack on the back treatment :)  Carmen has also taken to this little monkey comforter that I now take everywhere we go, as it seems to bring her a lot of peace, and me some quiet.  She spends lots of time sucking on the corners, and with it in her mouth, she is quiet.  And I am happy.  Jeffrey and I have taken her to the Golf Club for a couple of drizzly days, and she seems quite happy there looking back and forth from the beautiful beach view to the keno screens to all the elderly drinkers around us.  I think it will become our regular week-end hang out.
Anyway, today, finally, is a beautiful day, and when Carmen wakes up, we are going to make the most of it!

Here are some videos taken when I didn't have internet:
