Hey everyone!
HE'S HERE!!! The newest member of the RM Cook Fam has arrived and boy howdy is he CUTE!!!! He was born at 10:05 pm, February 6, 2010. He weighed 8 pounds 11 ounces, measured 20 3/4" long, and has super kissable chubby cheeks! Baby boy Cook (name coming soon...if it were up to Katelyn, his name would be "Liddo Owl") is doing great. Mandie is recovering fabulously and is set to run a marathon next week! ha, ha. Okay, not really, but it wouldn't surprise me!
The girls are so excited that their little brother is here! We took them up to see Little Owl twice today and they are pretty much in heaven. They will be the BEST big sisters. He is one lucky and LOVED little guy.
PICTURES, PICTURES, YOU WANT PICTURES!!! Here are a bunch of fun pictures from our visits today. KyKy and KateKate holding him for the first time, proud uncle Mikey shots, darling new family pics, and lots of cute close ups of our sweet little boy! He is definitley one of the most loved little people in the world! ENJOY!
We love you all!
PS: The pictures at the bottom of Kyleigh, Katelyn, and Naiya were just too blasted cute NOT to throw in! When Rusty madly dropped them off before heading to the hospital that night, we all (Ky, Kate, Nai, Uncle Mikey, me, and two crazy dogs) danced around (ring around the rosies style) jumping up and down singing "our new brother/cousin/nephew is coming"! We then searched the bookshelves for all kids books that had new babies in them. We read them all in celebration of "New Brother Eve", kind of like Christmas Eve but with a much better present waiting for them in the morning. :) ha, ha. Too fun. We are so truly grateful that he is here and healthy! We know that he will be a huge blessing to our family. We love you Little Owl!!!
Mandie and Rusty, He is so adorable. Congrats on the new addition. You have such a beautiful family. I will have to make sure to come home next time you are in Idaho and our boys can meet each other.
