Hello, Dear Ones! I've been missing in action for a few days and it's all because of this little blue eyed doll you see! My precious little grand daughter. We went for a visit (it's hard being a long distant grandma) and I wanted to share a few Carter shots! Today is her first birthday!
Happy Birthday, my little Angel
If you haven't met her already,
I would love to introduce you to my little grand daughter, Carter Ashlan.
Story time with Grandpa
I would love to introduce you to my little grand daughter, Carter Ashlan.


She had never had a saltine cracker and I begged
um...asked her Mommy to just see what she would do.
Just look at all of the personality on that little sweet face.
She did chew on the cracker a little! :)
And the rest landed on the floor.

Here she is getting into her stash opening presents.
She was just as fascinated with the little tags on the toys and the bows as she was the gifts!
She is a true little girly girl bow head!


She decided she'd just give her Mommy a bite.
So being the wonderful Grandma I am, I put some on her little lips.
She wouldn't open her mouth for me! :) Little stinker.
"Get this off me!", she was saying in Carter language.
So I'll be trying to catch up on my visits soon after all the dirty laundry is done. You know how it is! I'll sit here and think of my sweet Birthday girl and drink my Diet Cherry Dr. Pepper.
Be a bunch of sweeties,
Shelia :)
I'll leave you with a little Note Song ~

Happy Birthday, Carter Ashlan! Precious little girl and such a cutie! I have thought this before when I saw photos of Carter but didn't mention that I think she looks a lot like her grandma, Shelia! Have others said that too?

What a little sweetie! I was thinking of her the other day and wondering which day she would celebrate her first birthday. We will soon celebrate Miss Hannah's first birthday. We started walking last week and hasn't stopped much at all - too many places to go and things to see!

Thank you so much for coming to Carter's birthday. Y'all sure made it special. I love you & miss you. Thank you everyone for the sweet comments about Carter. She is our angel ;)
ReplyDeleteOMG!!! What a gorgeous granddaughter!...and she looks like she has a ball with grandpa and grandma! What a lovely little girl. I have two and their the joy of our lives. God bless her and enjoy everyminute, they grow so fast.
ReplyDeleteFABBY
Oh, Sheila, she's beautiful! I can't believe it's a year already! She reminds me of my granddaughter with the blue eyes and blonde hair. My granddaughter also does the tongue thing. In fact, now she sticks her tongue out at me and smiles - the little imp - to get my reaction. Look at her teeth, too! God bless her and I know you are just enjoying her so much.
