It’s been so long since I’ve written about my middle child, Carmendy! It’s been over a year. And, goodness, has she changed. My Carmie Bean is simply a character. She’s wild and stubborn, but introverted. With no desire or need to please others, my girl does her own thing. Crowds of people make her self-conscious… Continue Reading
Oh, Winnie. My apologies to you, my third child. I really dropped the ball on your monthly updates. Blame your two demanding older siblings…and also yourself, since “sleeping through the night” is something you are unwilling to do. I’ve been trying to catch up because, man, do I feel guilty. (I’m learning that these two… Continue Reading
It’s officially happened. Carmendy has become the victim of second child syndrome. First, it took over two years for a photo of her to be displayed in our home. And now this – I have missed one of her blog updates. I wrote about Owen quarterly during the past two years. My plan was to… Continue Reading
She’s two! And so this is the very last monthly post about Carmendy. On one hand, I’m glad I don’t have to take these photos each month because my children hate modeling. On the other hand, I’m sad to close this chapter. It seems like just yesterday when Carmendy was making her dramatic entrance into… Continue Reading
Ahh, one more month until my baby is two! I’m in the home stretch…only one more monthly update to go. I can’t believe I’ve managed to keep up with this for the past two years. Even if some posts were ridiculously late, I think I deserve a big pat on the back. I’m sure Carmendy… Continue Reading
My baby girl is turning into a big girl each day. Life is so busy, it feels like there’s not enough time to fully enjoy Carmendy at this age. And I love this age! Sure, like all children at this stage, she has tantrums, desperately wants to be independent, and is extremely stubborn (the brink… Continue Reading
In just a few short months, little Carmendy will be two years old! Every day she looks less and less like a baby to me. But I love her more and more. She’s just so darn cute, especially since I know what’s to come (age 2 and 3) and she feels so easy to care… Continue Reading
Another month has gone by! Carmendy’s second birthday is quickly approaching. You guys, I love one-year-olds. It’s the best age, these months before they can speak at an annoying rate and say “MOOOMMMMYYYY” about a million times in an hour. But yet they can understand and interact with you. I feel like everything Carmendy does… Continue Reading
If you see a photo of someone else’s children smiling and looking perfect, know that it took approximately 272 photos and the sacrifice of a baby goat to idols to get that one good picture (or Photoshop). Because capturing a good photo is like winning the Powerball. The odds are not in your favor, parents. You… Continue Reading
Time for a Carmendy update! Only five more and then she’ll be two. My little lady has been her usual self this past month. She enjoys being on the move (seriously, this girl could spend an hour running around our kitchen table). She really is a funny bunny; I can’t put my finger on it… Continue Reading
