I forgot to post this picture with my first post. But this is Karl and I when Carter was about 5 minutes old. We were welcomed home by a banner made by Daddy, Kyra and Kyle!
Ballons picked out by Kyra and Kyle.
A cake made by Grandma and Granpa with the kiddos to celebrate Baby Carters birthday!! Kyle thought this was a fantastic idea!
And roses from Mom and Dad!
Kyra and Kyle are doing great with a new baby. Kyra is so excited she is about to burst and was in our room at 4 AM just talking about how happy she was to have him home. My parents had a great idea to help Kyra and Kyle (specifically him) adjust to having the baby home. They ran to walmart and got a game for Kyra and legos for Kyle, then left the gifts in the garage. Then when we walked in the door, we told them that Baby Brother got them some presents. Well the idea went over beautifully, especially with Kyle, and he was instantly in love. He kept running over to Carter and saying "Thank you so much baby brother for my legos" and giving him kisses!
Kyra is our little mommy. She loves to get him blankets, pick out a new outfit, get the stuff for changing his diaper, etc!. She is always gentle and reminds everyone to sanitize their hands!
I think the kiddos didn't quite undertand that Carter wouldn't come home already knowing how to crawl and talk. But they were not discourged. This is them, helping him with Tummy Time, to help him learn.
Here is Karl with some baby time...and Kyle time...and Kyra time. He assures me he had the situation under control. :)
When I was looking through the pictures to compare the three kiddos I came across a picture of Karl when Kyle was born. I can't believe the difference in Karl. So the top is the one with Karl and Carter, the bottom with Karl and Kyle!

I loved your parents idea about the baby bringing gifts, i will have to remember that one.
The before and after pics of your husband are amazing, way to go Karl!
He is beautiful! You and Karl both look great! What a lucky little boy to have such sweet siblings who love him already so much!
