Big Brother Carter




We are so proud of Carter's wonderful adjustment to being a big brother at only 19 months. Ever since Bryce came home from the hospital Carter has been such a gentle and loving big brother. He loves giving Bryce hugs and kisses even though often his kisses are open-mouthed. Carter holds out his hands to show us he wants to hold Bryce. He has tried picking him up, since he sees mommy and daddy carrying and holding him all the time, but has been instructed not to do this. He can only hold Bryce while he is sitting down and with mommy or daddy next to him. When Carter is playing and hears Bryce crying he stops what he is doing and goes to check Bryce out. Today I was in the kitchen getting lunch ready and Bryce started crying. I peeked in because he stopped crying and I saw the cutest thing...Carter found Bryce's binky and put it in his mouth. My heart melted at Carter's kindness. First of all, it's amazing Carter didn't suck on Bryce's binky to begin with and second of all Bryce doesn't usually like binkies. I think he just took it because Carter gave it to him and he already admires his big brother. Ryan and I love our little guys and cannot thank God enough for our family of four!
