"C" is for Caterpillar"

I am enjoying school so much! I'm learning Spanish and I'm teaching Mommie too. My teacher Miss Michelle is awesome. I am making really neat crafts too. We all take turns bring a snack for the class. It was my turn and Mommie had a GREAT idea...and I HELPED !

2011-08-08T18:44:00.000-07:00

My First day of PK 3
I was so excited and Mommie couldn't get me there fast enough. I went right in and didn't give Mommie the time of day. I think I hurt her feelings...or she was in shock that I didn't throw a fit. I had a GREAT first day !!!

Isn't my backpack CUTE !!! It's got my name on it.

2011-08-08T18:39:00.000-07:00

My First Project

Mommie and me spent 2 hours doing my project. She let me do most of it. It was all about me and the things I like. I hope my teacher likes it. We worked really hard.

2011-08-08T18:24:00.000-07:00

OPEN HOUSE
I had open house at my new school. I have been out all summer to get better from being sick the first part of the year. I'm very excited to meet new friends and especially use the computers.

My teacher had several centers for me to explore in my new room while she talked to Mommie and MiMi about what we would be doing. Of course I loved playing dress up the best.

My Teacher Miss Michelle Cochran.

Carmann's Dance Recital
The doctor has released me to be a normal kid...well...what ever that is. Mommie had decided that I wasn't going to do my recital...but I really wanted to do it. I was in the hospital when they took all the pictures with my class. So Mommie took me this weekend to have some made in my costumes. I was a hit and needless to say "A Ham". It was so much fun, especially since it was a "Mommie and me" day. I hope you can all come to my recital...It's Sunday May 29th !! See ya on Broadway !!!

Well we thought all was going great and we were going to have a wonderful Holiday considering we had spent Valentines Day and my birthday in the hospital. I had had my tonsils and adenoids removed and tubes in my ears. I was doing really great and my followup went well. Then the Thursday night before Easter I hemorrhaged and they had to go back in. I was in the hospital through Easter. I lost a lot of blood and they were waiting to see if I need to have blood. Luckily I didn't and my fever went away. We left the Easter Bunny and note and asked him to come the next weekend.

2011-05-02T19:00:00.001-07:00

Mommie loves to take picture of me before church. I think she enjoys playing dress up with me. And I really enjoy it too, especially when I get to wear my jewelry.

2011-05-02T18:43:00.000-07:00

Carmann's 3rd Birthday

I finally got to have my Tinker Bell Birthday a week after getting out of the hospital. We had a pizza party with all the fixings. The whole family was there and happy I was feeling better. We just have to keep me well to get my tonsils out in a few weeks.

In February I got the flu and tonsillitis and was in the hospital for 2 weeks. Mom was really scared and so was I. Mom was strssed OUT !!! then I had to stay home a week and Mom went skiing the next week. I got sick AGAIN while she was gone. So Mom freeked OUT AGAIN. But they took me to the Dr. and it was a virus. Then for my Birthday at school, Mom brought me cupcakes and I was running fever again...and she took me back to the Dr. We had to cancel my party for that Saturday the 12th...but I was sick and running fever. So that's what's been happening in our world for the past few months.

The Jackson County Fair

WOW !!! What can i say..I really like riding the rides this year. Alot different than last year. I loved eating all the good stuff from the fair booths too !! It was nice and cool this year. They had alot of animals and I wasn't scared of them at all. I really liked the pigs...but they were "Pew-We"...they stunk. Hey...Hey...The gangs all here !

I wasn't to wild about the rabbits...MeMe was trying to get me to pet it. But I have rabbits in my back yard.

Mewwww.....Cows

They had a display for you to practice on how to milk a cow...and of course I gave it a try.

Aunt Millie showing me how to do it...

Getting into the Fall Spirit

Mommie loves the coolness in the air and to dress me up.

So keep looking there is no telling what Mommie will have me in !

At my school they have a pumpkin patch. So we took time one morning before school started and took my picture.

Mommie just loves this picture...she says it shows my personality...Sweet and SASSY !!
This outfit I wore last year and it was a dress and the pants were to my ankles.

Mommie and I make cupcakes about every other week for school. We really enjoy them. I hope this gives all of you an idea for making cupcakes for FALL !!!!

They look like Sunflowers !!!!

Paw-Paw traced around me....I laughed because it tickled...Ha ! Ha !

Next I traced him.....

When Mommie went inside Paw-Paw decided to paint my face green with chalk !!1

I looked like the Wicked Witch for the Wizard of Oz !!!

2010-08-24T19:46:00.000-07:00

Watch OUT Broadway here I come !!!
I took my first dance class tonight. I'm taking tap and ballet. I don't call my tap shoes "tap" shoes...I call them "racket" shoes. MiMi and Aunt Millie came to rut me on and celebrate my first dance class. Aunt Cindy...I know you were there in spirit.

Mommie had to take pictures of me...of course. I was so EXCITED about dance class.

I'm so cute with my tap shoes on.

Tap with ATTITUDE !!!

I'm a pretty ballerina !

To my surprise...I had a friend from my old school in class with me...Addison. I was so excited to see her...I never knew Mommie wasn't there.

Getting help putting my shoes on.....

Because I did so good....we ate Mexican after my class and i got to ride the car in the mall !!!

Stay tuned for more..... look for my Playbill on Broadway !!!!

Our Bowling Vacation
This year Mommie decided that we would use the bowling trip to Destin as our extended vacation. We stayed a few extra days and just enjoyed being at the condo with the girls.

Enjoying food and friends !!!

There was a pirate that made me balloon in the restaurant. I wasn't real fond of him as you can tel.

I got to go to the beach again this year. But this year...I loved it, not like last year. Aunt Millie and I made a sand castle...or at least tried till the ocean took it down.

I loved swimming in the ocean...the bigger the waves, the more I liked it.

Fishing...or that's what they told me I was doing. Aunt Millie bought me a fishing rod.

Aunt Cindy came over to keep me Saturday for the girls the bowl. Aunt Cindy caught the only fish. I was scared of it...and they wanted me too.....

.....you want me to KISS him... ????

He's wiggling..that's FUNNY !!!

You want me to WHAT again.....?

Lets pretend I did...that's as close as I'm getting !!!!

I like this crab though !!!!

Aunt Cindy took me to the splash pad while the girls went to bowl.

I think he's looking at me....heeee heeee.....

2010-07-29T19:29:00.000-07:00

An afternoon at the Splash Pad
Mommie has been so proud of me and my potty training that we took and afternon to celebrate. Ocean Springs has a cool splash pad. It was GREAT !!!! I hope Olivia can go with me next time.

I Loved the turtle...he was my friend. I gave him a kiss before I left.

I wasn't to sure about getting in this fountain...but I saw some of the other kids do it . So I thought...why not?

2010-07-29T19:22:00.000-07:00

I'm a BIG GIRL NOW

Well Mommie finally gave up and just let me do it. I wore her down...but don't tell her. I'm in big girl panties and doing GREAT ! I decided last Friday that I wanted big girl panties and not a diaper. I still have accident sometimes...but not very often so far.

Good JOB !!!!

2010-07-06T17:59:00.000-07:00

Happy 4th of July

We started the weekend with house guest. Miss Annette and Julieann came and stayed with us till Tuesday. We celebrated all weekend. Julieann and I got to go to Monkey Joes and bounce on the inflatables.

Friday at school we made beards and hats to celebrate. Mommie made cupcakes for us too.

Julieann and I enjoyed getting in my pool...but it took Mommie longer to clean it then we actually played.

All dolled up and headed to MiMi's for church.

We went to Pastor Davids and Sister Carols for the fireworks in Pascagoula.

Watching the FIREWORKS.....

It was AWESOME !!!!!

2010-07-06T17:50:00.000-07:00

Helping Mommie Bake
Watching Mommie bake cupcakes for my class is AWESOME. She lets me sit on the bar and watch and sometimes help her with the cupcake paper cups.

And in the end...I get the best part...THE SPATULA !!!!!

2010-06-13T14:55:00.001-07:00

A Saturday at Home...
Mommie didn't have to work this weekend and we stayed home all day. We both really enjoyed the pool that MiMi got us. Mommie and I spent most of the day Saturday in it. And inbetween taking naps ! We really has a good time just chillin...

Sunday morning we got ready for church and mommie took these pictures of me outside.

2010-06-13T14:44:00.000-07:00

Red, White and Blueberry Festival
Mommie and I meet Olivia in Ocean Springs with her family to go to a festival or so we thought..it ended up being a farmers market. It was so hot. I was hoping that Olivia would ride with me in my wagon...but she wasn't feeling very well.

It was a good thing that santa brought me a wagon...we may have to get new tires before long.

Smelling the flowers along the way.
They were giving away ice cream with strawberries and blueberries on them. as you can tell from my face, it was very hot. But the ice cream was COLD !

Cheesin at home with my new sunglasses !

2010-06-13T14:30:00.000-07:00

Memorial Day Weekend

We started the day going to church with my new dress. My dress was so pretty and I was patriotic for the occassion. We had a big day planned for the afternoon, we are going to see fireworks !!!

MiMi, Mommie and I meet Aunte Pat and Miss Jenny at the "Sounds By the Sea" in Pascagoula to hear the music and see the pretty colors in the sky. It was a long day and I'm glad that Mommie thought of my wagon.

2010-05-22T19:27:00.000-07:00

A Day at Beach Park and my first time at the Splash Pad
Saturday was a lazy day for mommie and me. We got up early...thanks to me and Mommie cleaned house. Then we took a long nap. Mommie decided that i neede to try the splash pad at the park so off we went. I loved it !!!! I wish there han't been so many people there but maybe during the week we can go after Mommie gets off from work.

I found a little girl to play with...we had a great time.

Mommie...if I put my finger in it will it stop ?

2010-05-20T20:04:00.000-07:00

Me and MiMi's Day
MiMi decided not to take me to daycare today. We slept late and stayed in our jammies till we went outside. We got to play with playdough and color. I sure enjoyed it and I know Mimi did too.

Bubbles !!! I love bubbles!

MiMi ? Can you tell Mommie that I've out grown my swing and I need a new one ?

2010-05-20T19:37:00.000-07:00

Mommie and MiMi's Day
I woke Mommie up telling her Happy Mother's Day...what ever that is...I thought every day was MY day. We went over to Aunt Tammy's and celebrated the day. I really enjoyed being with the girls. Mommie and MiMi had a good time too.

Gracie and I sure enjoyed our dinner.

Where's the cake?

Me and the Girls

We celebrated Sydney's Birthday...I can sing Happy Birthday real good now.

Finally the CAKE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2010-05-05T19:31:00.000-07:00

I finally Got it !!

Every one has tried to help me ride my tri-cycle but I wasn't having it. My Mommie keeps saying I got her stubborn streak....but i think it's my since of independence. Either way...I think I get it honestly. I have realized that I can go much faster if I peddle instead of pushing with my feet.

I surprised Mommie when she got home going down the driveway. I thought she was going to have wreck before she could get the car stopped. Aunt Millie was following behind me and making sure I didn't fall. And MiMi was in the kitchen window cheering me own.

My 2nd Birthday
What a Party and Mommie wasn't kidding !!! there was people everywhere and boy did I get the presents ! We had the party at a pizza place close to my house.

I blew out my candles all by myself.

Good Pizza !

Some of my friends ..I had friends, family and kids from my daycare.

I loved the balloons...its a good thing I weigh 30lbs or they would have taken me away.

Me and my Mommie. She was so excited that everyone had come to celebrate.

This is my friend Christian, he goes to my daycare. I think he's sweet on me...but he better watch out. Mommie says I can't date till I'm 30 !!!! And I think that's a really long time.

2010-04-06T19:42:00.000-07:00

Party at my School
We celebrate my Birthday with all my friends at school. It was so much fun. Mommie brought us cupcakes to eat and did we dig in. What a party, and Mommie says we are having an even bigger one Saturday !

My new shirt that has Minnie Mouse that Mommie bought me for school. Isn't it cool !

My friends in my class really enjoyed the cupcakes too.

Yum...Yum for my Tum !!!

2010-03-10T19:33:00.000-08:00

I'm 2 !!!!!

What a blessing you have been in my life. You amaze me everyday by how much you are learning. You speak your mind...and I can say you get that honestly. I just hope as you get older I can teach you to be tactful with that opinion. For mine AND your sake.

Your such a happy child and enjoy little things that I've noticed that most people over look...the sun rising on our way to school....looking for "Mr Moon" at night before we go to bed. you have taught me to slow down and look at God's handy work from your eyes. You love animals and especially the "ole McDonald"song.

You make my heart feel so special when you say, "Mommie, hold me" even thought i don't know how much more I'll be able to do it, your 30 lbs !!! And when you get in my closet and wear my shoes around the house, which is no easy feat, It reminds me that you are walking in my foot prints, and learn by my actions.

Thank you Baby Girl for teaching me more than I will ever teach you....I Love you baby girl !!!
Mommie

What a Play-Off Sunday
Mommie and I got ready and went to church and then was the play off games. Mommie dressed me up in my Sunday duds and off we went. I was real good during church until the service got a little long with communion. I wanted Mommie's bread and juice, but she kept telling me it was hers...but I still wanted it. Well the pastor prayed over the bread and in the dead silence after the prayer...you guessed it , I said" YEA !!!! and pastor laughed from the pulpit and said "Well that's one way to put it. Well Mommie was turning about 2 shades of red by then and looked like she was going to get me good when we got home. But I wasn't finished yet. When the pastor was talking before dismissal, He said something about the SAINTS...Well you guessed it...I hollard..."GO ! Go SAINTS ! Everyone in the church must have thought it was funny cause they were laughing...and so the pastor. He said.."We'll I See we have a Saints Fan among us". Mommie wasn't to happy with me by this time...I could tell. Cause the 2 shades of red had turned into 4 shades and purple. Needless to say everyone said I brought some comedy to the service. I still don't think Mommie thought it was to funny.

Dressed and looking GOOD !

Do you like my dress ???

Getting ready for the Saints !!!! I sure hope they win !!!

That may save me after my eposodes at church today....Lord I can only hope.

All this football is Stressing me OUT !!!!

2010-01-14T20:48:00.000-08:00

What a vacation in Colorado and I got to see snow for the first time. But i didn't like it at first but it grew on me. I got to ride in an airplane for the first time too. Mommie said I was such a BIG girl on the plane. We got to do a sleigh ride for New Years Eve and was it cold. In the middle of the dinner the power went out and we ate by lantern light. I was actually kind of cool and authentic. Mommie got to ski 2 days and she really enjoyed it. Aunt Millie and Aunt Cindy got to go snow mobiling. Aunt Cindy rolled her snowmobile on it's side and her and Aunt Millie had to crawl out of the snow about 20 yards. I would have loved to have seen that...we're still laughing about it.

Mommie is trying some new software for a slideshow of our picture. I sure hope it works and I hope you enjoy it.

Make a Smilebox slideshow

Christmas Morning
I got up early to see what Santa had brought me. I know it had to be something good because I worked real hard on his cookies.

Look what Santa brought me !!! I must have been real good this year.

I opened my own gifts this year...and I was pretty good at it.

I think my doll buggie that MiMi gave me was my favorite though...Mommie may have to take it in for a tune up...I probably but 1000 miles on it already.

Taking a ride in my wagon...this is cool. Mommie says we will us it for Mardi Gras this year !
Waiting on everyone to show up...but I may take a nap before they git here.

We hope that everyone had a Merry Christmas.

This has been a long time tradition that Mommie has had with Madie since she was little. We tried it last year but Gracie didn't want to cooperate, but this year she was into it BIG TIME ! And so was I !

Gracie liked playing in the flour...I was more interested in the cookie dough.

Madie was showing us the ropes...since she had been doing it for so long.

Me helping Mommie decorating them for Santa..I sure hope he likes them !

Santa's Helpers...rather Cookie Elf's !!! Ha ! Ha !

Our finished product. I sure hope he likes them.

Christmas Eve
Paw-Paw decided to come to us this year because the weather was suppose to be getting bad and didn't want us on the road.

I took a nap on the couch before Paw-Paw got here.

Wow !!! I'm really liking this holiday..I get gifts. i wonder what Paw-Paw put in this bag?

He brought me a BIG box..I wonder what's in it?

hummm....look at all these pieces...but I know Paw-Paw can put it together.

What was it?...It was an "Ole McDonald Farm" !!! It was GREAT !!! I loved playing with Paw-Paw, we figured out all the neat stuff on it.

Makin Cookie with Raelyn and Sydney
A few days before Christmas Raelyn and Sydney came to spend the day with us. Mommie and I showed them how we do cookies..and I can say they..."They did a great Job!"

Raelyn learned Mommie's secret recipe for making pralines.

I'm makin sure that Sydney is doing it right.

Mommie showed Sydney how to make the reindeer cookies like she did for my class party.

Magical Night at Bellingrath
Paw-Paw took Mommie and me to Bellingrath to see the lights. I was amazed by all the lights that all I could say was "Wow !" We decided that this was going to be the beginning of a new tradition with Paw-Paw.

Me and Paw-Paw taking a break in a swing.

Paw-Paw put me on his shoulders so I could see better.

Me and Paw-Paw acting goofy on the Lion.

We got to go in the new exhibit "Under the Sea" ...I was BEAUTIFUL !!!
I decided that Paw-Paw needed to have his grey hair pulled out...so I was busy lookin.

My First Christmas Party at Daycare
These are my buddies from school !!!!
Me and my friends ride the "Bye-Bye Buggy" to the lunch room everyday.
But today Mommie came to my party so I didn't have to ride.

I was so glad that Mommie came to eat with me and help my teachers. I was real good and didn't cry...Mommie keeps telling me that someone named "Santa Clause" is watching ?!?!?

This is Lawson...he's one of my buddies. We have been together since the baby room. he was sick today and wasn't feeling well.

This is my other buddie Christian. We have a love and hate relationship... he likes to bite me !!

We had lots of good stuff to eat. All the parents did a good job.

We did a gift exchange and I got a baby doll !!

Trick-or-Treat
I really like this holiday...I get candy from people for no reason. Mommie only lets me have the suckers though. We went to Ocean Springs to go Trick-or-Treating and it was nice. There we all kinds of stuff for me to see and do. I liked being Minnie Mouse ..all except the ears.

I loved being Minnie Mouse this year. There is no telling what Mommie will have me dressed as next year.

We saw Miss Pat by surprise. She was dancing in the street with a group of people. They let me get out of the stroller and dance too !!! I loved all the music that was playing.

This is one of the blowup things that was all around town.

When we got home I changed and handed out candy our house. I enjoyed that and told everyone "bye...bye" as they left. but they left with my candy... it made me cry.

This is Mommie's favorite time of the year...the wind is col and crisp and it gets dark earlier. Which means I go to sleep earlier too !!!! ha ! ha ! She has been dressing me for Halloween and getting me in the festive mood.

Pretty as a Picture
Well Mommie took me to have new pictures made and I really didn't want to. But the lady taking the pictures was real nice and spent alot of time with me. Mommie was suprised that she got as good of pictures as she did. I'm 17 months old now. Wow !

My Big Day

I moved up into the 2 year old room this week. Everyone is coming back since school is starting for the bigger kids. I got to see some of my friends that have been off for the summer. I know I'm no 2 yet but neither is anyone else in my class. We are all still little...but we are growing leaps and bounds.

This class had been very different from me...

I use to sleep in my crib at school, now I sleep on a kiddie mat on the floor with my blanket.

They use to feed me in a high chair...now I walk down to the cafeteria single file and sit at a table and eat like a big girl. I even gave Mommie her first art project to hang on the refrigerator !!!

2009-07-19T20:18:00.000-07:00

My First Surgery
I had to have tubes put in my ears this week. Mommie is hoping that we wont have to go see Dr. Sands for a while. I did really well, but I was fussy coming out of being put to sleep. But by about 3:00 that afternoon I was hitting all cylinders. Actually I didn't even miss a meal. Mommie got me these new p.j.'s aren't they cute !!!!

2009-07-19T20:08:00.000-07:00

Play Date

Born Instincts
I guess girls are just born with it...the phone to their ear I guess. She carries that phone around and just talks to her imaginary friends in her baby talk. It's so funny.

Hey Mom who's calling ???

Oh it's a Tellamarketer..I'll hang up !!!
I got piggy tails !!!

2009-06-15T19:22:00.000-07:00

A Sunday Afternoon on the Patio
Well Paw-Paw...Mommie decided not to fill the turtle with sand this year. I'm using it for a swimming pool !! It's the perfect size for me. I love it and it's not scary like the ocean.

I'm a "Big" girl..I can climb up in the chair all by myself !!!

Playing in the dirt is Fun !!!

Our finished masterpiece !!!

Memorial Day Weekend
We went to Destin for the weekend and it rained the whole time. We had to stay in the condo or go shopping, so we did a little of both.

In the mornings we sat outside and had our coffee on the balcony.

Hey Mommie...What's coffee?....Is that whats in my sippy cup?!?! Are you holding out on me?

We got to go to the beach on Sunday afternoon for a few hours when the rain stopped and the sun decided to come out. I really liked the sand but not the water. It was scary !!! It was bigger than my bathtub! I'll stick with the sand.
I'm glad Mommie remembered my sand toys from my birthday Party, it was fun builting a sand castle.

2009-05-28T18:53:00.000-07:00

Mother's Day Weekend
I took Mommie and Maw-Maw to New Orleans for the weekend. We stayed in a real nice room and I really liked the bed. I loved playing peek-a-boo with the pillows.

On Saturday we went to the French Market and I got to ride the trolley car. We ate lunch at Margaritaville. It was a cool place !!

I just loved the brite colored painting outside, I kept looking through the holes and flirting with the people sitting on the other side eating.

Sunday I had the day planned for us at the Audbon Zoo. But was it hot !!! Mommie and I rode the Merry-Go-Round... She just has to have an excuse to be a kid !!! ha ! ha!
Me and Maw-Maw at our stop to get in the shade.

as you can see from my cheeks that I was getting hot...well so was everyone else. It was a free day at the zoo so EVERYONE came I think. It was packed. Mommie noticed that I started breaking out with what we thought was a heat rash. As the day went on
I looked like I had the measles !!! Come to find out...I had a reaction to the sun from an antibiotic I was taking.

2009-04-12T20:29:00.000-07:00

My First Egg Hunt
After church we went to Miss Charlene house to hunt eggs...but I thought we left them for the Easter Bunny this morning. Oh well.

Ordered of God
Carmann, I could not have asked for a more precious gift …than you. You were divinely ordered. From the moment that I knew you were on your way, you brought excitement, joy and peace. You never cease to amaze me daily by what you learn and how you grow in knowledge of the world around you.

When I wake up in the mornings I still look at you in amazement, sleeping there beside me, innocent and peaceful. Your really mine…You love me and I love you. When you wake up and smile, my heart feels full of life, knowing you are in my day.

I hope that you keep your smile, happiness and love for people as you grow. I hope I can expose you to the wonders of this world around you and keep you wanting more knowledge of God’s wonderful creations. Life is too short not experience all that you can…and with help I hope you get that opportunity to experience all you can.

My how this year has flown by for us, everyone told me it would.
I hope that as your Mommie,
I listen to the wisdom around me…and learn from their mistakes
I always consider your feelings…no matter what age you are
I take time for myself…so that I can be a better Mommie
And when the “What’s that?” starts…that I can come up with ALL THE ANSWERS !!! Ha ! Ha !
I Love you “My Chunky Monkey”,
Mommie

2009-03-10T18:36:00.000-07:00

I’m one !!!!
How time has flown for me! It seems like yesterday that I was born and couldn’t do anything for myself. Now…Well what can’t I do ?!?!?! Ha ! Ha!
I’ve learned to roll over, crawl and use my big blue eyes to my advantage!!! They seem to get most everything I want especially if I put a tear or two in there somewhere.

I want to say Thanks! …to all of you.
Thanks for being in my life….
Thanks for loving me…and
Thanks for being there for Mommie…I can be a hand full some times.

I love you all! And I can’t wait to see what all I will learn this year. Mommie says I’m doing something called “skiing” this year. Don’t know what it is…but I’ll sure give it a try! She keeps me busy trying new things like that.
I love you!
Love ,
Carmann

O.K. where is mom with the wash rag?
