My Big Boy

When did this guy:turn into this guy?Oh, I have so much trouble not getting nostalgic on birthdays. My Baby C. turned four today! And although I can make myself really sad by thinking about the baby that he was, I can't mourn those days for long because I'm having so much fun with the little guy he's become. He's my chameleon: one minute he's Batman (yes, still),
the next he's Master Monkey,
and on rare, special occasions, he's Carter.It's fun to see him emulating Haley and learning how to be a big kid from her. He is starting to take care of his little brothers, to play with them, and to help them out when they need a hand. I'm so excited to see what this year holds for Little C.

Happy birthday to my Carter!

They grow so fast. It's so sad...I love the baby stage!!! Why can't they smell sweet like that forever? I too get emotional as I see my children grow older! I just posted Alex's 14th bday yesterday!

Happy birthday Carter! I always forget that our boys have the same birthday. I've realized as a mom that our kid's birthdays are so much more meaningful cause we actually remember their day o' birth.

I can't believe he is four! I remember you holding him in church as a newborn. He is such a handsome kid.

Look at how little Hayley is and those pudgy baby cheeks! I love to look back at all of my kids cheeks when they were between 2&3 years old...so cute! I love those jammies...I had the same ones for Jacob and Curtis. They were my favorite!
