Twins & a Two Year Old

Carson really is a sweet big brother.

The only problem is that he is big and the girls are still so small.

We're having a hard time understanding what "Carson, be gentle" really means.

However, he has learned that when baby sisters cry, a pacifier always helps!

This was the situation last night:

Me: Hey Chris! Come in here and check me out! I have both girls asleep in my arms.

Chris: Aw! So sweet.

Me: Yeah, I know! Get the camera and take a picture.

Carson: {insert whining voice} Mama! I want to take picture! I want to take picture!

(dad snaps the picture #1, we must re-do it.)

Me: Fine hunny! Stand next to mommy and get in the picture.

Carson: Okay! Look mom! Baby sisters!

Me: Yes, I see baby sisters. Now smile for the camera.

Carson: Mommy! Look! I touch baby sisters head!

Me: Carson, please be careful!

(dad snaps picture #2, we must re-do it.)

Me: Carson, baby, I don't mind you being in the picture, but you need to look at the camera and smile.

Carson: Ok mama! Cheeessee!

(dad snaps picture #3, it will have to do!)

Whew! All that for one picture!

In other news, I have noticed a funny little thing about the twins. They do so many things alike already!! I have proof.

Crying together:

More crying together:

Taking pacifiers together:

(and yes, Caroline's pacifier is pushed up against Carleigh's head. I was tired of sticking it back in over and over again. Figured I could get at least one of them to keep it in their mouths. Don't judge.)

Tummy time together:

Sleeping the same direction:

(they almost always sleep facing the same way. Weird, I know.)

All the while, Carson is chillin' on the couch. Dressed in his night shirt and shorts that don't match. Such is life with 3 kids under the age of 2. I used to care about little things like that, now I barely even notice!
