Big Brother Sam

Sam is an awesome big brother! Even before we were expecting Carter, Sam was talking about how much he wanted another baby in our family. When we told the kids that we were going to have a baby, Sam was by far the most excited jumping up and down and yelling, "Yeah, a new baby!!"
Now that Carter is here, Sam's excitement has not diminished at all, he absolutely adores Carter. Sam will sit and hold Carter for a long time, he has much more patience for it than Sydney who asks to hold Carter and then two seconds later says, "I'm done!"
While Sam is holding Carter he is known to say things like, "When I am holding Carter it feels like a dream!" or "I don't want Carter to grow up, Mom!". He often declares Carter to be the cutest boy baby he has ever seen.
Carter is in danger of being bald however... Sam's favorite thing to do is to rub Carter's head (Sam has always had a thing for hair).
When I told Sam that I had to take Carter to the doctor a couple of weeks ago Sam wanted to know why. I explained that the doctor was just going to make sure Carter was healthy and strong, to which Sam replied, "If he isn't will they put him back in your belly?" Thank goodness, no!

So, I thought I would take some nice sweet pictures of Sam holding Carter, and this is what we got...

Pictures for Grandma

Mom has been requesting more pictures for a few days, so here I am finally getting some posted... Sorry it took so long Mom! The first few are Carter's first day home, his siblings were quite enamored with him from the very beginning, and Carter was amazingly patient!


Here Tyler is playing "Peek-a-boo" with Carter...

And there they all are, count them, five young Gordons... Yikes!
The kids have all been big helpers with Carter, from holding him to fetching diapers and blankets, they all love to help. The boys especially love to hold him...

And here are a few close-ups. Here Carter is waving to Grandma...
I don't know, but this next picture reminds me of Grandpa Gordon...
Well, that's all for now. I'll try to do better in the future!
