Well, we have had a good week. Every night when I put Carmen down for her sleep, and she goes down without even a mumble, I am so thankful! I read these posts online from these mothers who have babies the same age as Carmen, and so many of them are rocking their babies to sleep for 15 minutes up to 2 hours! I can't believe the insanity! And then of course the babies are waking up in the night and need to be rocked back to sleep. We have had night peace for four months now, and it really makes you feel normal again! Anyway, no big milestones met this week. Carmen's balance is getting better and I think it won't be long before she can stand on her own. I am trying to teach her to clap, but all she can manage is clapping her hands together once but then she can't get them apart. It seems like the simplest thing, but apparently it's not!
Carmen has spent lots of time with her American grandparents, Nema and Nepa, which means I have had lots of free time to paint and get ready for my show which opens in two and a half weeks. Carmen also had a play-date here with her friend Hannah on Sunday. Hannah is 17 months old, so there is almost a 7 month age gap, but they still had a good time, even though Carmen doesn't know how to share very well. She kept pushing poor Hannah out of the way to get to the toys Hannah was playing with. I am hoping this is an age thing and not a lifelong habit!
Here are three videos from this week. The first one is Hannah feeding Carmen sultanas, and is very cute!
