Carter buddy




"Carter buddy" is now what we call our little boy because we hear emerson saying it all the time. He is such a sweet boy and we are really enjoying watching him grow. He is 6 weeks now and growing like a weed. At four weeks he was 10 lbs. and emerson wasn't 10 lbs until she was 2 months. I'm sure we are at 11 lbs. now and will go to the doctor again in a couple of weeks. The mornings are crazy around here trying to get everyone up, dressed, fed and out the door. Emerson is still doing her music class and gymnastics so carter comes along for the ride. So far, cross your fingers, he has slept in his car seat during the classes which has been great because I can have some one-on-one time with emerson. As soon as emerson goes down for her nap I cuddle him and we rest together for awhile. Having time with him on the couch is so special and I am holding onto this time because it will soon be over. As hard as it is to get up in the middle of the night and walk around like a zombie all day, I am trying to live by what my friend said, "we can't wish this time away." Yes I would love to feel rested and also stay caught up on all the house work, but this time is so precious and before I know it, carter will be two and emerson will be four.
