Ten little fingers and ten little toes.

This was when he was 5 days old outside enjoying the weather.

Gpa and Cole outside on sat. aft.

Gma and the 3 kids. Quite a job to get all 3 in one spot and to pose..haha..Avrie 2, Nolan 4 holding Cole 5 1/2 days.

While spending part of a week at the Anderson household..Saturday came and DAD was home and it sometimes is donuts with dad bkfast..Even get to go along to pick them out. YUMMY.

Hoppy day.

Avrie was there awaiting her new baby brother but fell asleep with her brownie and blackie and missed out on seeing him.

Gma Char and I got some time snapping pics while they were working with his mommy

Nolan checking out his lil brothers tiny feet. This is about 35 mins after birth.

Checking him out..

The lil man was already chomping on his arm. A go getter.

He has full lips. Got a squashed lil nose in delivery. All went well.
