Happy Birthday Papaw!

Caroline asked me to write a post for her today instead of writing about her or to her. She told me that the day after Thanksgiving was a very special day for a very special someone in her life, her Papaw Danny. Caroline loves visits from Papaw and Mimi each week and enjoys spending time outdoors walking around the yard with Papaw. So today, all of us, along with Caroline, celebrate you Papaw! We hope you have a wonderfully Happy Birthday!

Happy Thanksgiving Caroline!

Five little turkeys standing by the door, one waddled off, and then there were four.

Four little turkeys under a tree, one waddled off, and then there were three.
Three little turkeys with nothing to do, one waddled off, and then there were two.
Two little turkeys in the noonday sun, one waddled off, and then there was one.
One little turkey better run away, for soon it will be our Thanksgiving Day.

Happy Thanksgiving to my Sweet Caroline Barton!!

Growing Pains

Our baby girl is growing up...;( Each day brings little changes in Caroline that is so exciting to see evolve! Just in the last few days, a wittle bitty toofie has errupted..finally! Plus, it looks like there may be another one coming before long. Daddy sent me the first picture this evening, it's Caroline sitting in front of the fireplace, all by her little self. She is completely mesmerized by the crackling fire! The second photo is Caroline's first time to sit in a restaurant seat instead of her carrier seat. I can see independence on the horizion. Won't be long before our cuddy, wuddly, little arm baby turns into a squiggly, squirmy, back arching, want to get out of your lap little lady. I'm not sure if I'm ready to give up cuddle time but then, the rewards of watching Caroline master her next feat is priceless!

Fuzzy Hat Day

I got up early this morning and made my trek to Windy Hills. The drive was a little odd as the sun was already up and shining. I got to Caroline's house and she was still asleep!! Apparently she had a restless dawn (time change I think) and was still asleep as her ma and pa were up getting ready for work...the little snooze-meister! Caroline did wake up just in time to see Mommy off to school! We lazed around most of the morning then had lunch. Me soup, Caroline rice cereal.  After lunch, Caroline wanted to go out for a stroll. It was still a bit cool and windy so I bundled her up with blanket, hat, and passy and we went out. After a while, I noticed she was rubbing  her sleepy eyes so we went in for a nap. Being a little sleepy myself, I thought I'd take a nap too. I put sleeping Caroline in her bed and I got in the recliner and drifted off. I woke up to gahh gahh. Wow that was a good nap I said to meself...all of 15 minutes of it!! Yawn..... See two new videos, Feedin Time and Getting Some Fresh Air, that I took today. That Caroline sure is a funny little girl!

Shopping 101

Wow, I can't believe it's been a week since my last post! I'm shamed...Oh well, anyway, last week, Mommy was out of school for two days so Caroline invited Mommy and me to Branson for a shopping trip! Thursday morning we packed the old Ford exploder with all the necessary items and began our little excursion. Caroline and I were the backseat drivers for Mommy, we helped her change lanes! I admit... I was a little nervous about the long ride for Caroline but boy did she fool me! That precious little thing was an absolute angel the whole way. She would sleep a while then eat a while. We stopped several times to let her stretch and get in a quick diaper change then off we'd go. In no time, we got to our destination which was very nice. Great accommodations and a super comfy bed. Caroline especially enjoyed the bed after riding for so long. On Friday we shopped and shopped and Caroline was again, perfect. And yes, she received several nice treats for being such a wonderful little girl. Saturday morning  came bright and early, Mommy herded us out of the room so we could get on the road. Once again, Caroline was the best little thing. When we arrived in Conway, we stopped and let Caroline air out a little by taking her to Pier 1 for a few Christmas ornaments. After some Chik-Fil-A, we headed south to Windy Hills. We had so much fun on our trip but it was good to be home. Caroline told me before I left that she was planning another trip with Mimi and Papaw before Christmas. I sure hope they have as much fun as we did!!
