Cooper Forest Pearson is here!

First picture with his Aunt Kimberly

My older brother (Paul) and his wife (Erin) were blessed with their first child on Tuesday! Cooper Forest Pearson is my newest nephew and the 12th cousin on my side of the family. He is absolutely adorable and such a sweet blessing to our family. I drove to Austin on Friday with the kids to hold little Cooper and introduce him to Jackson and Charlotte, and we had so much fun. Jackson is already a pro at saying "Cooper" and Charlotte really enjoyed playing with all of his toys. :)
I always wondered what it would be like to see my big brother holding his own son, and it was really great. He and Erin are so natural and sweet with Cooper. It always amazes me to see new parents with their baby because they just instinctively know what to do and seem so relaxed. Paul was holding Cooper and changing his diaper (never thought I would see him do that:) and just adores that little boy. But who wouldn't? He is such a sweetheart! Welcome to the fam, Cooper!

Looking like his Daddy with that furrowed brow!

cute newborn face

first picture of the cousins together. I could not get both of them to hold still...go figure!

Proud Grandma!

Big eyes

It won't be long before we head back to Austin because we miss Cooper already!
