Carter's first trip to Charlotte

Life has been busy...
We traveled to Charlotte two weekends ago to visit Aaron's family. Carter tends to eat on a 3 hour schedule and it takes about 3 hours to get there. Carter slept till we were 5 minutes away and woke up screaming. We fed him a few ounces at a gas station to hold him till we arrived at Aaron's parent's house. Carter spent the weekend meeting new family members...his uncle Ryan, aunt Ashley & cousin Cooper and his great-grandparents from Roanoke, VA. Carter did not have a good Sunday as he was a bit overstimulated with all the newness of everything...new people, new place! But he did sleep well away from home. We enjoyed seeing our nephew Cooper too! He is getting so big and is at a playful & really fun age. It's hard to remember him in the NICU back in November weighing 4 lbs 7 oz, which was exactly HALF of Carter's weight! Carter is not too far behind him these days! Ryan & Ashley let us borrow their swing and Carter loves it! It has come in handy on some of his fussy nights!!!
