Hello, Dear Ones!
If you didn't know, I'm a new grandmother. I've been a grandmother for six entire months!
Our Dear Daughter and son-in-law gave us a darling little girl named Carter Ashlan.
We live many miles apart, oh the sadness, so we visit our little Carter through Skype and digital pictures. Little Carter turned six months old this week so I wanted to share a few pink pictures of our little darling ~ one of our very favorite things!!
Bear with me, I'm a new grandma! :)
This is my little dress I wore as a tiny baby.I sent it to my daughter and she had
a little olden photo session with little Carter!
It looks white but it's actually a very soft light pink color.

Oh, what a little poser we have here!I'm loving this.
Splish splash I was takin' a bath...wrapped a towel around me...
You know me and songs! :)
Is she cute or what?

Do you remember when she was born my daughter was so worriedbecause Carter wasn't gaining the weight she should?
I asked for your prayers.
Guess what?
You all prayed so hard and those prayers were answered!
Look ~
now we have a little pink chubby!
Dear Daughter said this was Carter's Audrey Hepburn look! :)I love this little chubby tiny one.
I'm joining our Dear Beverly at How Sweet the Sound for Pink Saturday and
Our Dear Laurie at Bargain Hunting and Chatting with Laurie
for A Few of My Favorite Things Saturday.

Before you leave me I want to invite you to a blog party I'm having on Wednesday, October 13th. It's a kitchen party and it should be lots of fun. To find out about it, just click on my party button that I've made with my most dainty little fingers for all the info. Oh, I do hope you'll come!
Shelia ;)
I'll leave you with a little Note Song~
Can't Help Falling in Love with You
Wise men say only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you
Shall I stay
Would it be a sin
If I can't help falling in love with you
Like a river flows surely to the sea
But I can't help falling in love with you
Shall I stay
Would it be a sin
If I can't help falling in love with you
Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand, take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in love with you
Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand, take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in love with you
For I can't help falling in love with you
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand, take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in love with you
Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand, take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in love with you
For I can't help falling in love with you

She is so adorable Sheila and she looks so pretty in pink! How wonderful to have pics in Grandma's baby dress!
ReplyDeleteI have baby fever, can't wait!
Cindy
She's beautiful! Show her off! Isn't skype great?
ReplyDeleteSo sweet and precious!!! It is hard to be far....skype is great when the kids are older, but when they are this young you want to hold them!
ReplyDeleteShe has got to be the prettiest pinkness in all of blogland here on Pink Saturday.
ReplyDeleteJust look at that sweet face, she is adorable. I would just love to squeeze her.
hugs
Sissie

Shelia,
ReplyDeletePrecious in pink. . .thank you for sharing your granddaughter with us!
Fondly,

Oh, Sheila! If I could just get some elbow sugar....... she is a doll. I know it has got to be hard ~ being separated.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend.
Karen
Sheila -- she's just so beautiful! She looks like a doll -- how precious to have those pictures in your dress. I hope you'll be getting some Carter sugah' soon!
ReplyDeleteAhh, Sheila, she's a darlin! Pity you live so far away from her. I have my first little granddaughter arriving at Christmastime myself and like you, I'm too far away! She's going to be on one side of the country and me on the other. We will have to depend on the webcam too. Perhaps we can console one another! Thanks for sharing your little angel's pictures; she's a cutie! Happy Pink Saturday!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Sandi
What a living doll baby! Sooo much fun you are having and she's so pretty in Pink. Love that she wore your baby dress....very special pictures.
ReplyDeleteOh Carter sure is cute! I love the pink hat!
ReplyDeleteHappy PS,
Jacalyn
Sheila she is a cutie for sure and I am glad she has gotten nice and chunky!! I love that pink hat. Need me one or three for my girls. My son and his girls are coming tomorrow. The two year old has had an ear infection and fever of 102 this week and the baby and the two year old are coughing. I think they are still coming. I hate that they don't feel good. Grammy will make them all better.
ReplyDeleteSheila, What a beautiful little blessing she is, and what a beautiful name! Babies are soooo precious!
ReplyDeleteCongrats!
Nancy
Oh, what we have here is a record breaking BEAUTY. She is so so adorable..Don't you just love having such a sweet little bundle to show off on Pink Saturday?
ReplyDeleteThis just reminded me that I have a photo of a granddaughter, Lacey jean, and she is sitting on her daddy's baby quilt that HIS grandmother made for him. LJ, as we call her, is just turning 17 next week.
Carter is a raving beauty and I know just how much you love her.:))
Oh Sheila Sweetie...
ReplyDeleteHappy Pink Saturday and what a treasure Ms Carter is. I love her photos in your little dress. Now I hope somewhere you have pics of you in that dress and your daughter as well. I am thinking you need a try photo frame so you can have all of the generations in that little dress present and accounted for. So precious.
I love her little Audrey Hepburn look, she is so darn cute. Look at her little cheeks. You just want to hug and hug her.
Oh Sweetie, thank you for sharing with me. I so love it when you do. What a cutie, and the Splish Splash it the element of surprise. I LOVE it.
Have a beautiful weekend. Many hugs and much love, Sherry
She is a DOLL! How special to have photos of the little sweetie wearing your dress. Happy Pink Saturday and have a beautiful weekend!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pink beauty!! How lovely to have a dress you wore!! The wonders of modern technology to have such close contact through skype and digital cameras.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend, Jackie in UK.
Shelia, happy grandma,
ReplyDeleteI have to tell you
I love your beautiful, lovely Carter!
May God always bless her
and her family!
I wonder what she is thinkig about? She looks very smart.
ReplyDeleteI can look at her all the time.
Bonjour Sheila!!! Here indeed the softest and the most tender of pink & pink Saturday ! ♥ Hélène Flont
ReplyDeleteShe is the most beautiful baby! I love every roll on her chubby body!
ReplyDeleteI know she is the apple of your eye!
She is so totally precious.. I wish I lived closer so I could do a sculpt of her face and then make a baby in her image.. She is Beautiful~! her skin tones are amazing..
ReplyDeleteSonny
Carter is beautiful
ReplyDeleteHi, Sheila. First, I wanted to say that I checked my list of blogs and was surprised to see that, although I THOUGHT I was a Follower of yours, I was NOT! So I just remedied that immediately and became a Follower! I always see your lovely comments on other blogs and I can't believe I hadn't become a Follower before now. Second, congratulations on becoming a Grandmother and your little Carter is one of the most adorable babies I have ever seen. With these pictures here, I want to eat her up! Oh, if I could have a gorgeous little grandbaby like this! My son is only 19, so I am not ready YET though. LOL! And you must be so proud of her wearing your little dress from when you were a baby. Thank God your Mother saved it. Well, I am off to visiting some of your earlier posts - I have to make up for lost time! :)
ReplyDeleteBest regards,
Gloria
I actually came over to see your cloche post, Sheila, but got caught up in your beautiful granddaughter post. She is just gorgeous! I'll bet it is difficult to be far apart ~ I live close to my daughter but I work during the day and I am aching to see her by the time Friday arrives. This weekend it will be a full week until I see her {Sunday}. I keep one of those digital frames on my desk at work, but I don't know if it makes me feel better or worse! : )
ReplyDeleteAlso, I had to tell you, my granddaughter was 5 pounds, 3 ounces at birth and just 9 weeks later looks wonderful! She really filled in!
G'day Shelia ~ What an adorable chubette Carter is ... she so resembles you (facially) Shelia. How blessed you all re.
ReplyDeleteI did the same with our kid-lings in my baby clothes but they aren't as nicely shown as yours.
Where did the name Carter come from, family?
Have a beautiful weekend ~
TTFN ~ Hugs, Marydon
What a beautiful baby!
ReplyDeleteDarryl and Ruth : )
Oh, my goodness, what a cutie patootie baby! and I'm loving that PiNk cap too.
ReplyDeleteHappy {PiNk} Day to you,
Stephanie ♥
OMG Shelia! She is beautiful! You just want so cuddle that gorgeous face!
ReplyDeleteShe has that too sweet issue I see. What a Face! Love the pink hat. hugs♥olive
ReplyDeleteShe is BEAUTIFUL!!!!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Penny
Carter is so precious!
ReplyDeleteYour granddaughter is so adorable. She looks especially lovely in the outfit you used to wear when you were a baby. I think that's a sweet idea.
ReplyDeleteRegarding your three comments on these three posts on my blog:
http://caffeinatedglobe.blogspot.com/2010/09/afternoon-coffeetea-5-sweet-recipes.html
http://caffeinatedglobe.blogspot.com/2010/09/breakfast-table-setting-ideas-non.html
http://caffeinatedglobe.blogspot.com/2010/05/budget-tea-party-ideas-its-little.html
In your three comments, you kept saying this one same thing which is: "Be a sweetie." I'm not sure what exactly you meant by that.
I am not sure whether or not you meant for me to FOLLOW YOU BACK via the "Follow with Google Friend Connect" widget. I just checked; you haven't followed my blog. I just checked my widget, and I didn't see your avatar on it. I just checked your blogger profile:
http://www.blogger.com/profile/01873141703727416233
and I didn't see my blog name and link on it either.
Actually I have already followed one of your blogs a while ago. Please see the "Follow with Google Friend Connect" widget on your "Note Songs" blog, you will see my avatar "The Caffeinated Globe" between "Kelly Howard" and "Coralie Cederna Johnson."
I found your "Note Songs" blog from the "nice places to visit" list on this blog:

What a precious little cutie, Shelia. She looks just like you and how nice that you still have that dress to pass on to her. I love her pic in a hooded towel...Christine
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous child. She is a real cutie---that one with the pink hat is beautiful. I know you are so PROUD. Happy Pink Saturday.

Hi Sheila,
ReplyDeleteOh I cannot believe little Miss Carter Ashlan is 6 months old already. She is just a little doll! I am so glad you and your daughter share her with us, she is just beautiful.
Valerie
Oh Shelia, She is precious! What beautiful big eyes she has. Love her Hepburn look! Those photos in your dress and that sweet little hat are adorable, and what a cute way to dry off after a bath. I think I need one of those towels for me! No, I wouldn't look cute in that! So glad you shared her for Favorite Things Sat. laurie
ReplyDeleteHi Sheila
ReplyDeleteI can't believe she is 6 months already. the pictures are gorgoeus. She is such a beautiful baby.

BE still my heart, your granddaughter is absolutely adorable! I love each of one those photographs of her, she is just, oh so precious!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your day~

What an adorable bundle of pinkness. I'm so envious of your new role, my friend. Enjoy every minute! ~ Sarah
ReplyDeleteShe is just too precious for words. Isn't be a grandmother one of the most wonderful roles in our life?
ReplyDeleteSheila,
ReplyDeleteCarter is just gorgeous! She looks like a doll!
Angela
She is so adorable! Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cutie! Happy belated Pink. Just getting around. I seem to always be behind. Hope you had a great day.
ReplyDeleteShelia, that Carter is a cutie for sure!! I love the picture especially of her in the dress you wore as a baby. Aren't grandchildren the absolute best? Have a beautiful week, my friend~ Vicki
ReplyDeleteOh how precious! What a pretty and pink little baby girl! I know you're extra proud of her! I love your little pink dress on her, and especially like the knit hat!
ReplyDeleteSo glad she is healthy and happy.

Hi Shelia. I was just scrolling through your blog, looking for something (but now I can't remember what!) and I realized I somehow missed seeing several of your posts, in particular these updated photos of Carter. Bad, bad me! Although in my defense, I have been back and forth between "My Cottage of Bliss" and "the house in Hooterville" a lot lately and when I'm in "Hooterville," I have no access to my favorite blogs. When I get back I try to play catch-up but obviously, I'm not doing as good at it as I thought I was. Ooops.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I'm glad I got to see these sweet pics of Carter. She gets more adorable by the day but I sure can't believe she is 6 months old already. I'm so sorry you don't live closer to her so you can hold her and play with her in person anytime you want. :(
Carter Ashlan has grown so much since I last visited. She has your eyes! What a precious blessing she is and that baby dress of yours is such a treasure. So happy she is healthy and thriving; Praise the Lord for answered prayers!
