New Baby Cuzin

I had a new baby cousin born this week. My favorite cousin Sandra had a baby boy. It was pretty crazy because we were all expecting a girl and she turned out having a boy. She named him Manuel Alejandro Torres. Too Mexican, huh? He is so adorable. He's got the cutest nose, and the smallest feet. She is excited and so am I.
