Carter & Noah

Noah & Carter (Carter was not happy!)



Me, Lauren, John,
Carter (bounced to sleep), Aaron, Olivia, Noah & Matt


Last Monday, Matt, Olivia, John & Lauren came over for dinner. This is the first time we've been together since the arrival of Carter & Noah (Matt & Olivia's baby). Noah was due April 29th but did not arrive until two days after Carter, May 9th! When he was born, he only weighed a couple ounces less than Carter. As you can see, Carter weighs 2 pounds more than Noah! Early on this day, Carter got his 2 months shots and at the end of dinner became very unhappy. He was so miserable!!! There wasn't anything you could do to get him happy. Aaron eventually bounced him to sleep on his knee. That night, we put Carter to sleep on his belly when he first went to bed since he had not had a nap earlier that day and based on how unhappy he was earlier due to his shots! Carter slept soooooooooooooo much on his belly! This has become Carter position of choice. He sleeps about 6 hours in a row on his tummy! In the beginning, I was soo apprehensive about the belly sleeping because I teach "Tummy to play, back to sleep" because of SIDS. Carter's doctor let me know that Carter should be ok since he's got a good amount of weight on him and since he's not around people who smoke. I find myself staring at him to make sure he's still breathing.
