proud daddy!!!

meeting grandaddy smith

and grandma smith

this is our amazing doctor....Dr. Sharon Goldberg...she was wonderful!!!

first diaper change by the new parents.... a team effort

comparing hands.....

the totally "newborn" look...goopy eyes and all

we had special wrist bands that everyone had to check on all three of us before taking the baby anywhere.....security was a big deal

1st family photo

the traditional newborn hat and receiving blanket that every baby in the US gets....or else it seems like they're all the same

this is another security thingy...the alarm would go off if someone tried to take the baby out of the hospital or tampered with the anklet....these booties are special....these are michael's booties from when he was a baby that the smiths brought....michael's feet were too big so he never even wore them....so cute

the grandparents decorated our door for cooper's arrival home

cooper's birthday cake

balloons, bubble gum "it's a boy" cigars and flowers.....thank you everyone!!!!

this bonnett is also michael's...he wore it home from the hospital when he was born...it's one of those special things you keep for your wedding and then cut and it turns into a handkerchief...someday we'll give this to your bride cooper!!!!

cooper's first car eat experience....welcome into our lives little peanut!!!!
