6 years ago my first little granddaughter, Carolyn Louise Bailey came into the world. We share the same middle name which neither one of us like but it does give us a special bond. She warmed my heart from the very beginning and continues to fill my life with joy! I was so excited to finally have a little princess! I could hardly wait to make her a fancy blessing dress and make bonnets and bows again. We discovered that she liked the feel of silk and so I made her a special little lavender silk blanket that soon became known as her "silky" and went everywhere she went. (She has loved it through the years and it is now worn and not so silky but I am sure it still brings comfort.) I remember as her light hair began to grow it stuck straight up and we called it "chicken hair" but as it continued to grow it turned into the most beautiful long blond hair. Her grandaddy just loves her silky hair. She is our little sassy blond beauty.
Here are a few of my favorite photos:
.... and then 5 years later after a few more princesses ( who I will tell you all about in Jan. and March) we got our adorable little Alee pop on the same day as Princess #1- Nov. 17th. She sure scared her Grammy as she was so slow coming into our world and finally after her mommy labored all day the doctors had to take over and tell Alee that she really needed to come out. Well I guess by force she did have to let go of her Mommy but she quickly thought of a new plan. She would stay as close to her as possible and the sling and her Mommy's hip became her favorite place to be. Hopefully she will soon discover that her Grammy's lap is a wonderful spot for all of Grammy's girls.
Here is what Alee does so cute- Smile so big and wide :)
Happy Birthday Carolyn and Alee.
I LOVE YOU FOREVER!!!
