Getting ready for baby...

A couple nights ago Carter was having a hard time falling asleep. He wasn't crying or yelling... we could just hear him talking for probably about an hour and a half. He normally talks for a while after we put him to bed... but by this time he was up way past his bedtime. Dan finally went up to check on him and found Carter sitting on the side of his bed with his baby doll (that he has insisted on sleeping with lately) wrapped up in his favorite green blanket. Carter and Claire will eventually share a room... and Carter is taking his big brother role very seriously. He talks a lot about how he will help out with Claire at night (which makes me think we'll wait a good while before putting Claire in there :)). I guess he was just getting a little practice swaddle session in. Dan went up after Carter had fallen asleep to snap this picture. So sweet!!

Precious boy! You have SO many wonderful things to look forward to! Carter is going to be the best big bro. I never realized how much my love for Isaac would grow once he was a big brother but the compassion and love he shows makes me so proud!
