Fun With Grandma and Grandpa

Today was an awesome day! I got to spend time with Grandma and Grandpa for a good portion of the day. Mommy and Daddy went to run some errands and I really did not want to be in and out of the car with this hot 95+ degree weather so I asked if I could hang out with Grandma and Grandpa. To my fortune everyone agreed :)

So, I got to spend a good amount of time playing with Grandma and Grandpa at their house. They have a cool place (literally, the air conditioning is really nice). They have a Mickey Mouse sheet always spread out on the floor so I can play with my toys and Grandparents. I rolled, talked and sang with Grandma and Grandpa. Sure I gave them a break every so often but I like spending time with them so I tried to keep them as busy as I could muster.

Eventually Mommy and Daddy came to get me. We had a nice dinner with the family then it was time for us to come home so I can see Taag and Ripley. It is bath night so I'm gonna go play in the tub for a bit before I chill for the rest of the night.

I hope that everyone else had such a cool day as I did.

So Much Fun

Good Day All! I hope that you are all doing well today. The past few days were quite enjoyable. I got to hang out with Mommy and Daddy as well as the GaFruit family. I even got to play with GmaC and GpaC last night. We went to dinner with them. GmaC is so fun! She talks and plays with me all the time. She even took me around the room showing me off to everyone. She had me talking, laughing and dancing on tables. It was funny to watch GpaC when she does this with me. He really likes it but likes to hide it so as not to encourage these behaviours. I really know he is bummed that he is not the one playing :)

It has actually been kind of quiet around here, with the exception of Daddy and his hiccups. His ear is getting better but a medicine he is on has given him really bad hiccups for the past four days. We believe we are on the tail end of this. With the upcoming weeks we'll be doing a lot of stuff so all of us need to be in a healthy condition.

Well, I am off for my nap. I slept quite well last night, even though I was on my face a lot of the time. Hey it was comfortable. I need my beauty rest through the day so I don't drive Mommy and Daddy insane.

Have a great weekend and we'll be in touch.

Daily Routine

Well, it looks like I get to go visit the G-Fruit family today. I like hanging with them. They have been helping and praying for me, Mommy and Daddy since the day I was born. Peachfuzz is the one who drove Daddy back to Mommy when I went to the See-Eye-See-You on my birthday. I like playing with the Lil Truck, she is funny. I like to make really loud noises that she has taught me over the past few months.

Life is going well. I feel bad for Daddy. He had an opportunity to go help teach scuba in Belize but with the insanity around here and his ear working on healing up he had to pass. We know there will be some other opportunities, it is just hard to go to another country (again) for a week at this time.

Mommy is doing well. Each day is a new day and we all pray that guidance, wisdom and patience.

I wanted to give a shout out to my 'god-father' JC...yes this is the one who I am named after :) I know that you really wanted to be at my baby dedication this past weekend. But as I have learned a lot over these past few months, life has a way of making it's own mind up. I just want you to know that I want you to get better. Work hard to get the knee back to working order and take care of yourself. I look forward to going sailing next summer!

Well, off to have a great Tuesday. I hope that all of you do the same!

It's Been So Long

Hello my friends!

I am very sorry I have not written since Easter. Life has been quite a whirlwind of craziness and change. I have been taking the time off of writing to make sure that Mommy and Daddy are taken care of during the hard times of change. It was hard enough with me going through my days at the See-Eye-See-You, but with those times behind us we had many new challenges.

Just to keep you in the loop of what kind of craziness is going on here is a small summary...with the downturn of events Daddy was released from his job at OC. Not to worry though because he recently got a new job at WIU. A real upgrade to what he was doing here in GA but we'll have to move again. I hear that IL is not that bad, Mommy and Daddy are originally from there so it can't be that bad. The house is on the market to sell and we continue to pray for it to go smoothly (please keep that in your prayers). Daddy took a group of people to Mexico to go scuba diving (I can't wait to learn that). He got another eye issue but it was not as bad as last time. The trip was really good even though Mommy and I missed him a lot. We did try the cool technology of Skype and saw each other...now that was really cool. Upon return Daddy went to the doctors and got some medicine that he reacted to and put him out of commission for a week. This was a bummer but Mommy took good care of Daddy and me during this time. Most recently Daddy went to IL to finish up some paperwork and look for houses for us. He ended up with an ear issue so he could not fly home. This being the case he ended up taking trains and cars to make it home after a few extra days on the trip. Totally crazy, right!

Anyhoo...I want you to know that I am doing extremely well. As you can see my one of my most resent pictures I am a happy little girl :) I am around 12 pounds now and am growing every day. I like eating my rice cereal and have had some other foods too like green bean, pears, apples and sweet peas. Some of the new foods taste funny at first and I might make a funny face but then I get used to it. The cereal seems to have helped me gain some weight. I even have some dimples on my legs and arms. I roll all over the place and I am working on getting on my hands and knees to prepare to crawl. I am getting pretty good at getting my knees up under me. I love talking to Mommy and Daddy, but what makes me smile most are Taag and Ripley. I laugh and smile every time they come by and say hello...actually all they have to do is be within eyesight and I am as thrilled as a firecracker on the 4th of July. I also have really learned to love bath time. I kick and splash and have all kinds of fun in the water. I am looking forward to getting into a big bath with Daddy some time soon. Mommy even bought a special suit for this.

Today was really neat. Not only was it Daddy's first Father's Day but it was my Baby Dedication at Church. Mommy and Daddy held me up in front of the whole church and promised do their part to raise me to be a Godly lady. Many people came to see. Grandma and Grandpa were there as well as Auntie T and Uncle A. The small group that Mommy and Daddy were in were there too. I can't forget the Hutcholo's and Fisch face, they came to support me, Mommy and Daddy too! The everyone came over here for some lunch. It was fun but I did miss some of the time due to a much needed nap.

I'm planning on keeping you informed much better that I have :)

Talk soon,
Carlee
