Being a parent the 3rd time around is a lot different because you have 2 extra sets of hands in your older two kiddos. Often times one of them will run and put a paci back in Cole's mouth or get something for me while I've got the baby in my hands. On Saturday night, Cole was ready for his evening bottle right about the time that I was changing laundry and cleaning in the kitchen, and Eric was fixing our Christmas lights out front. Instead of stopping to feed him myself, I decided to heat the bottle and let Carter do it. He was excited to do it by himself, and so proud!
(no clue why I decided to flip my phone mid-way, sorry!)
(listen carefully! Boys and their gas)
Feeding baby brother is serious work and requires full concentration! :)
He took half the bottle from Carter perfectly, and since Eric was back inside, he took over to burp him. Ella, of course, wanted her turn, so she got to give him the second half, with the help of Daddy.
Love that proud smile!
And of course, my laundry and cleaning didn't get done right away because I was taking pictures! But that's okay.... it was a proud Mommy moment for me, and I wouldn't have wanted to miss it! Next time I know I can let him do it and the laundry and cleaning will get done. :)
