ok I know it's been a while since I've updated. But anyway, carmella's cute. She has a little voice. It's very high pitched and sometimes when she does her little scream her whole face doesn't move, and her body is completely still, as she concentrates completely on vocalizing her little scream. it's so cute! she's just beginning to control her tones. Her first vocal phase was this little cough sound. like she was dry heaving or something...haha..but her latest phase is this. soon she'll be mamamamma-ing. such an exciting time! oh and she's scooting; the beginning of crawling uh-oh

"milestones"

Yesterday , may 3rd, was the first time I took Carmella out in the rain! I took her outside with no umbrella while it was sprinkling. Worth noting. Today I saw her smile for the first time for REAL...I think she's been doing it for a couple of days but who knows..it's hard to tell if it's just gas or if it's real. A couple weeks ago I brought her in the car wash with me for her first car wash!

"Moby wrap"

"there she goes"

carmella's little neck muscles are getting stronger every day
