baby vaughn elise

Its been so long since i have updated so i will start slow. i cant recap everything thats happened these past days but my baby girl is finally here and we are celebrating all the daily joys she brings to our lives. My mom took last week off of work and it was really nice to have some extra help. I spent most days at their house. It was great to be able to nap and know that vaughn was being taken care of.
She really is growing up so fast. She lost her little belly b utton on saturday and it broke my heart! To me, i guess it represented her newness. Not that she's old. Its just- that was what really connected me to her, and reminded me that for those nine months we were a team- she required that for me to nourish her. Rudy commented last night that she no longer looks like a newborn but now like an infant. It was so sad! I have been a little baby bluesie and cry at EVERYTHING. This is easing up some but its still unpredictable when the tears will fall. She is just so beautiful and perfect and such an amazingly sweet natured baby! She loves to rub your face when you hold her and snuggles all the time! She gives me a sense of peace when i look at her and i am scared i will someday forget every little noise and facial expression, every touch of her tiny little fingers, the way she changes. I want these things in my memory, in perfect memory, forever. SHe is changing so fast. Her cry is strengthening her grasp is tighter and her face is filling out so much. We trully love her to pieces.

Rudy's birthday is on halloween. I dont think we will be doing anything and i feel badly for that, but maybe we will celebrate both of our birthdays together since they are just a two weeks apart.

I am so excited to see my sweet neice on halloween. Aparently the secret costume is quite adorable! This will be the first year she will really get into dressing up and it should be great! I love this weather and am enjoying the fall tremendously. I cant be out in it much with her, but its nice when we do get out, even if we're just walking to the car. Christmas is just two months away and i havent started my christmas music yet....whats wrong with me? :) Its normally playing by september:) (Im a nerd like that)

Anyone else watching charlie brown's great pumpkin on tuesday at 7???? I cant wait!
