Last week Karmann turned 16 months old! We've had such a busy last few weeks, that I almost forgot! Since I can't remember last week, I'll fill you in on our busy weekend this past week. Friday night a co-worker of mine had a house warming party. Karmann was invited, so she and I let Daddy work on the house, and we went to hang out at the party. Karmann was a gem, and had a blast chasing their kitty around and around the house until the cat settled under the bed. It was entertaining to say the least. Also, Karmann (I think) had her first experience eating strawberries! And she loved them!! I think she ate between 7-10 while at the party! She didn't know how to eat them exactly, and started to lick it, and then shoved the whole strawberry in her mouth and drooled all over herself. She liked it so much, she went back for more! It was pretty cute. No allergic reaction, thank goodness.

Saturday we had another party to go to. It was a cook-out at a former coworker's house. There were lots of kids, and they even had a bouncy house! Karmann was curious, so I let her climb in when there weren't many kids inside. She was having fun, but as you can see from the photo above, she wasn't so sure about it either. Luckily, she didn't fight when I went in to rescue her from more kids. We didn't spend too much time there, as it was in the 90's here this weekend, and she was pretty worn out with all the kids. She also lost her shoe on the way out, which luckily our friends Alberto and Bianca retrieved on their way out. It was a crazy day!

Sunday, a coworker of mine, Karl, graciously offered to help Kris with the house for a few hours. You can see Kris on the ladder and Karl on the future deck in the photo above. While the guys were working, my dad came down to hang out with Karmann and me. We went to get the guys lunch, and Karmann fell asleep in the car. She ended up sleeping for 2.5 hours, so we didn't get much done yesterday. Dad left early, as there were bad storms blowing in starting in the mid afternoon. So Karmann and I went to Target alone later. Luckily, our Target has structured parking on the roof, so there was no issue with rain. It actually didn't get bad till later that night. We ended up loosing power for about an hour around 9 pm. Luckily, there wasn't any damage at the house from the storm.

Today, Karmann was back at daycare. I miss her during the day after a fun weekend! Around 4:50 I got an email that she had gotten her knee and leg stuck between the slats in her crib. She thought it was funny the first time, so she did it again! No boo-boos, so she was fine. They also told me they were pretty sure she was counting to three today. I don't doubt it!! She's pretty smart!! I can't wait till I hear it, though. She didn't get a good nap today, so she ate a good dinner and took a quick bath and went right to sleep. I only hope she sleeps through the night!

Also, I noticed today that she is getting more teeth! The upper left tooth, between her molar and front teeth, has broken through! It also looks like the lower left is coming in, too! No wonder she's been cranky! Poor baby! Growing up is so rough!
