Yay! Taylor Grace arrived on Halloween at 4:25pm. :) She, unfortunately, came face up, so my sister had a really rough go. But both mom and baby are now home!

I drove up to be there when she was born, and then drove up again on Sunday to see her. Since only grandparents are allowed in when the baby is out, I snuck in. Yes, shameful. But, she was in a private room and it was just me. I knew that she was having a million and one people over on Monday to see the baby, so I wanted to get my hands on her first! LOL She is absolutely precious! Sooo tiny. Although she is bigger than Matt was when born, both weight and length, but for some reason, she appears smaller (but then again, anything does against my moose now, lol).

Thursday we're driving up again to visit at the house. Matt won't be able to see her because he's still got some cough thing going on and all I need is for him to cough right in her face. :S So I'll drop him at my mom's house.

Oh, and when she was born, they rolled her out for all the people to see, so I snapped pics (I'd share, but my sister hasn't put any online, and if I do before she does, well, the end of the world would hit, lol) and sent them to Brian who was home with Matt for TorTing. Matt kissed the phone. :) He still kisses my phone when I show the baby. LOL Hopefully this is all good. ;)

Oh what a pretty name! Congrats, Auntie Erin! That is so sweet that Matt kissed the phone, awww.

I bought 2 more outfits for my soon-to-be-arriving nephew the other day. One has a little T-Rex on the front and says "Snugglesaurus". :-) I have a real problem with little snuggly baby clothes, I can't resist them! Travis was helping me pick them out and I had to tell him that I didn't want to get anything with feet attached, because if the baby is anything like him his feet will be so big that they won't fit! He thought that was funny. We just bought him a new pair of winter boots and they fit ME!! We bought them a little big for him, but they fit me perfectly. Crazy!

Congrats, Erin!  I love the name, too, so pretty.  I don't blame you AT ALL for sneaking in to see her.  ;O)  I know hospitals have to be overly cautious right now, especially with newborns, but if you're not sick and you washed your hands before holding her, it shouldn't be a problem.  Enjoy your new niece!

LOL! I'm mush when it comes to baby clothes! I loved all the snuggly clothes Matt had. :)

LOL @ the boots. That will probably be us too. Matt got a size 2½ in June for my sisters wedding, then just at the end of September got a size 3 sneaker for school! Thanks for the reminder on boots. Last year we didn't buy any and so I had to put a pair of Brian's socks over his sneakers so he could play outside! LOL
