One Month Old!

Yesterday was the one month birthday of Veronica (going by the 21st; her Four Weeks of Life was on Friday). Either way, can you believe it's been that long? To remind you of that day, here are some pictures (from Stacy Millmeister and Chet Cort) of V's First Day of Life, in keeping with the vernacular!



That first pic is to tide you over with the cuteness... it was a looooong day for those of us lucky enough to be there, clamboring outside the nursery window in expectation as if Meshach Taylor was playing Hollywood and creating some amazing display. (Bonus points if you got the Mannequin reference, unless you're Rodney because I already know you'll get it).



And then she was born! So Chet got to wheel the Veronica goodness out, and Amanda got to stay in surgery, watching a group of strangers give puzzled looks to the insides of her body that were now on the outside. And then try and shove said insides back... in.



After many, many annoying hours, they finally put Amanda back together and then brought together mama and baby! It's like post-modern Goldilocks with those two; they fit just right.



Then auntie Amber and grandma Kathleen came in to admire, and Team Gore had all its components in place for the very first time. It's like "Wonder Twins, activate!", but without the magical rings. Or, um, powers. That you KNOW about, anyway...



So that was it! The day Veronica was born! "I'm Veronica Stanley Gore from Silverlake, California! Arrigato!"



(Do you love how those syllables perfect match my pageant introduction, Team Gore? Do you???) So glad Veronica's been born, and that we're one month safely in... can't wait to see what happens in the months and years to come!
