Meet Duke

We are so excited to announce that Daniel Sinkler Coleman has arrived!  Due to a practical joke Alex played on our families, many people thought his name was Duke for a few days, thus the nickname.  I wasn't sure if I was on board with the nickname until Chisolm pointed to him and said "Baby Duke" clear as day.  It was too adorable and he's been Duke ever since.  Here are some pictures of the little man and our growing family.

Mama is ready--too bad we had a 5 hr delay to meet this little one!

Welcome to the world, Baby Boy!

One Happy Mama with my baby finally in my arms (and out of my tummy!)

He came out hollering--no problem with his lungs, the doc said!

Chisolm was waaay more interested in the baby than I expected!

Baby brother did a good job picking out a gift for his big sister.  Lip Smackers were a hit!

Sister love--she's such a sweet big sis!
