Home with the Boys

Carter and Cooper

Carter is loving having a baby brother. He really enjoys helping change his diapers and giving him a bath. We have been pleasantly surprised that Carter doesn't seem to wake to Cooper fussing at night. Cooper is a pleasant baby. He couldn't be more different then his brother was as a baby but he is a joy. Where Carter on a whole was a pretty quiet baby and loved his pacifier, Cooper on the other hand lets you know if he doesn't like something. He doesn't much care for the pacifier and really doesn't enjoy being swaddled tightly. We love that we never have to guess if he is happy or not because he is certainly an open book. In terms of looks, both boys look much like their daddy. Cooper, at least right now, has dark hair and grey/blue eyes while Carter has blond hair brown eyes. Cooper is already benefitting from Carter paving his way so to speak. This time around, Jeff and I find ourselves much more at ease and relaxed with having a new baby in the house. We are finding ourselves enjoying even the not always so fun moments of parenthood. I think we realize just how fast they grow and know that in the blink of an eye a new stage will begin. I still can't believe I have two boys.....oh my!

It's a Boy!
