One month

 

My Sweet baby Carter,

 

Wow, what a fast month this has been. A pretty uneventful one (in the best way possible), you are a rock star sleeper, eater and snuggler. You seem to be growing bigger everyday, your 3 month jammies are already getting a little short in the arms and legs. You like to eat every two hours during the day, but are only getting up two (sometimes one!!) time at night to eat. You are what the doc calls a spitty baby, you spit up A LOT and burp A LOT. But you are gaining weight well so there is no cause for concern, hopefully you grow out of it soon.

 

I'm pretty sure your Sister thinks you are the best thing since sliced bread, and she likes her some bread. I am so happy that you girls will have each other as you grow up. I hope that you can find a true friend in your Sister and that you always know that you can turn to her in times of happiness and heartache.

 

Your Daddy and I have been trying to decide whether your eyes will turn from blue, they almost seem to be getting lighter. Your hair is a very reddish brown, you are certain to be a beauty for sure.

 

I am so excited for what your future holds, and I can't wait to see the little lady you become.

 

Everyday I look at you and think to myself how lucky I am to get to be your Mother.

 

I love you sweet girl.

 

Forever and Always.

 

XOXO

Momma

Two weeks

We've had a great two weeks! 

I've learned that Carter likes to poop in freshly changed diapers.

Reagan loves to hold Carter, until she does the aforementioned act.

Carter is a great sleeper. She does however randomly demand we leave the night light on for her. 

Reagan has kicked up her level of diva by insisting we paint her nails every other day.

Carter is quite a little piglet, turns out 10lb babies eat a lot.

Reagan's new hobby is taking her clothes and diaper off.

And some pictures to end on:

Carter J,

 

My beautiful daughter. You are such a little bruiser- full of spunk, when you're awake that is. You are a good little sleeper, in fact it's a challenge for mama to get you to wake up long enough to eat. You LOVE to have your head rubbed, and like to be burped and then burped and then burped some more probably because you eat like a little piglet and take in lots of air.

 

You hardly EVER cry, but you let out little yelps when something isn't right. You love to hear all of our voices, you peak your eyes open and try to focus on where the voice is coming from. It has been so much fun being your momma this week, you have truly completed our family, and it's only the beginning!

 



You had your one week checkup, Doctor said you are doing great! You weighed in at 9lbs 8oz, so you've lost a few oz since birth. I'm confident we will surpass your birth weight in no time at all.

 

 

A month before you were born I bought 4 new warm jammies for you, newborn size. What a mistake. They are way too small for you! Good thing we also had some warm jammies in 3 month size. Keep growing my healthy girl!

 

I can't wait to see you change over the next year, it gets better and better every day.

 

I love you to the moon and to the stars.

 

XOXO,

 

Momma
