Dear Carter

Dear Carter,

I can't believe you are 6 months old! Time has flown by and even your big brother thinks you've grown way too fast.

I'm not sure why you started sleeping through the night at just 4 weeks and then thought twice about it when you turned 5 months. Sometimes I believe I'm wrestling a tiger...you are freakishly strong just like your Dad. You have great big hands that have a 10-foot wing span. You go for any and everything around you. I love it all though, especially when you rest your perfectly round little head on me just because. I know you likely know more than we do about my Dad because you are drawn to him. You light up when you see Grandpa. Thank you for making this time a little easier by bringing joy to me and all those around you. I hope you know how much your big brother loves you. I never thought a 7-year old would be that into "the baby thing". He made me promise the other day that I would wait to give you a bath until he got home from school, just so he could help. Not all brothers are like that.

So happy you are a part of our little family. I love you.

Mom
