Carter Meets Cousin Katlin

As many of you know, my sister and I were pregnant at the same time. Our babies were due almost exactly one month apart - Carter on September 7 and Katlin on October 4. Due to unforseen circumstances, Katlin was delivered on Tuesday, August 26 at 12:02 a.m. and then Carter was born one week to the day later on Tuesday, September 2 at 2:18 p.m.

After spending nearly 3 weeks in the NICU and Baby Sleep Room, Katlin got to come home, and we didn't waste any time getting the babies together. In the pictures below, Katlin weighs approximately 5-6 pounds, and Carter weighs 9-10 pounds....double her size!

Holding them side by side to do a head and arm size comparison. Carter looks like he's been lifting some weights compared to Katlin's tiny limbs!

I put both of the babies in Katlin's Pack & Play - Carter was sleeping and Katlin was curious, just looking around and wondering who that big ol' boy next to her was.

Look closely and you can see that my mom put Carter's arm around Katlin - too cute!


I love this crying face of Carter's - he looks just like Derrick to me. Katlin, as you can see, is having none of it and just wants to wiggle away!
