Cole Urban has arrived!






On Wednesday, October 8th at 6:43pm, Cole finally made his grand entrance! He has been here for four days and he is already the love of our lives, even though it seems like he has completely taken over every minute since he was born. As you can see from the pictures, he was born with a ton of dark hair, we joke that he looks like a little chimpanzee, especially when it sticks up everywhere. Even the nurse at the nursery gave him a little mohawk after his first bath because she said that she couldn't resist giving all that hair a little 'do. We came home from the hospital on Friday evening and most of the time he is a perfect angel, except for the hours of 1-5am when he becomes a wild maniac. He can be pretty fiesty already. Apparently, we are not swaddling him like the nurses at the hospital because he refuses to have his arms confined when we wrap him up in a blanket. He does not like to be contained and usually sleeps with at least one arm flailed above his head.


Surpringly, the dogs have not been overly interested in him. They get a little nervous when he cries, but generally they are disinterested, which is probably a good thing. The cat is a little more curious, but won't get any closer than about a foot away from him. She usually bolts if he makes any noise.

As you can see, the curse of the Cubs fan has officially been passed along, so unfortunately, our son has been set up for a lifetime of heartbreak! Maybe some time in his lifetime, he will actually see the Cubbies make it to the World Series.
