Bittersweet Firsts with Carter’s

Disclaimer: This post is sponsored by Carter’s; however, all opinions are my own. 

As many of you know, I am a mother of two little humans… Madison who is 4 and Colton who is 8 months old. I have been through all of the firsts with Madison, and am currently watching with excitement as Colton learns something new daily.  When planning our family, having a boy and girl seemed to be the perfect mix and getting to experience the best of both worlds.

It wasn’t until recently that I realized all of these firsts that we have been experiencing with Colton, will be our last. Having two children makes our family complete, but it is also bittersweet.

With Madison I found myself daily rushing things. I wanted her to roll over, crawl, walk & talk. I found myself constantly comparing and spending countless hours on the floor with her, helping her learn the next skill. Now knowing these firsts are our lasts, I am holding on a little tighter.

With all of our firsts together, comes with a last. He was the last one who created those soccer like kicks in my belly. The last one to sleep perfectly on my chest. The last one to have me up every two hours at night (I may not miss that part!).

Our oldest is four, so there are still many firsts between the both of them waiting for us. We have yet to send a child to school, off to their first sleepover, or on a first date. Their first kisses and first break-ups are still, hopefully far, away in our future.

I am staring longer into those grey eyes of his, and reminding myself to slow down but am documenting our days as I don’t want to forget a moment.

From his first smile, first giggle, first time he crawled, to currently where he has been mastering walking the furniture and pulling himself up on everything!

That first tooth, which was quickly followed by three more… which means lots out outfit changes for Colton! We always turn to our favorite clothes from Carter’s.

See I wasn’t kidding about the drool! 

Anyone that knows me or has seen either one of my kiddos closets, knows that I may have a slight addiction to Carter’s. It is easy to have this addiction when the deals are always so awesome!

One of my favorite things about Carter’s is that there is something for every stage & season. The outfits to take them home from the hospital in, the first holiday outfits, first winter, spring and summer outfits. Did I mention how adorable they are?
