Meet "Cole"

Happy Birthday to our new baby boy Cole!! April 3, 2012 changed our lives.



His official name is Michael Allen Fulton III, but his adorable nickname is Cole. He was born at 10:03AM this morning and was a whopping 8lbs 8oz. Liz was in labor for 36 hours and unfortunately she revealed her secret super hero powers. I never even knew. I could not be more proud of all of who she was: her composure, her strength, her perseverance, and her heart.

Here is our first family photo with our little guy:


Alright, fine... we'll take our teary eyes off him for 1 second:


Every parent thinks they were given the perfect child. We are DEFINITELY one of those parents:


He is so calm and relaxed and go with the flow, at least for now, we just can't believe how he's not phased by anything. The only time he's cried is during his bath and when he got his foot pricked. Other than that he's just eyes wide open looking around. Here he is getting the pleasant part of the bath done, the hair washing:


Happy and proud grandma and grandpa, meeting their daughter's first born:


Can you tell I don't hold babies very often? I better get used to it, because all I want to do is hold this little guy:


He smells so baby-licious and his skin is so soft!!


We can't wait for you all to meet him.
