You are a shark...always moving, and always eating.
You LOVE music and dancing. You do the cutest high step/march type dance, and applaud for yourself with the most enthusiasm I've ever seen.
You babble all day long.
You are the most ticklish human being I have ever met. Ever. And with that, comes the best laugh ever. Your laugh could make anyone happy. If I can hear that laugh once a day for the rest of my life, I will forever be fulfilled.
You love to play chase! You are the fastest little baby. You also love playing "go to sleep/wakeup!", counting, and trying to help mommy with the laundry.
You adore your brother, your cousins, and your dog. You would follow Franklin to the ends of the earth, and you accept his dog breath kisses with an open mouth and heart.
You plant kisses on your family willingly. You give huge hugs and pat us when you hug. Sometimes, you bite, but Memere especially is convinced they are excited kisses.
You love picking up Landon and Amelie from school. You insist on walking with them and holding their hands.
Just like big brother, you love all things trucks, and are showing us you also love trains and sports too.
You've tried to peepee on the potty when landon does. You've done it once, but mostly just stand there with your little belly poking out saying "peeps" and it is the cutest thing.
Memere knitted you a pillow when you were born, which you now affectionately call PoPo, and face plant into it when it is time for bed. You rub and bite the corners. It is off white, but I am certain will be brown soon no matter how often I wash it. It is well loved.
You used to hate the car seat and long car rides, but ever since you got your ear tubes, you've loved the car.
Speaking of tubes, you are such a brave little guy. You've had 2 surgeries and 1 big booboo resulting in surgical glue already your short life, and while you've worried mommy and daddy, you've never failed to show us how strong you are. Your big brother made me a mommy, but you've given me so much confidence and appreciation as a mother. I know you will be ok. And I appreciate you so much for that.
You don't say many words, but you certainly know how to show us what you need.
You wake up singing. We listened to you sing for a while this morning, and quietly laughed and cried to ourselves....you make us so happy!
You have so much love to give in your little soul. I have never, not once, questioned how much you love each one of us. You make us each feel so loved and so special every single moment of each day. I hope and pray that you realize that you are loved even more. I find myself squeezing you extra tight, in hopes that you can feel that love.
You have made your big brother so happy. He welcomed you with open arms, protects you fiercely, and loves you more than anything. He would do anything for you.
You are so special, Carter Louis. I love learning more about who you are each day.
How long will I love you? As long as stars are above you...and longer if I may.
