It was my very first Mother's Day and what a terrific one it was. You and I slept in until about 10:30am. My favorite thing in the world is waking up, leaning over to watch you sleep and rub your back and hear your little breaths you take. My other favorite thing is leaning over and watching you wake up in your crib and see you rub your eyes, listen to you make your little noises, watch you play, and then you look up and smile at me with your bed head - it melts my heart! You are so full of life, love and personality!! I got to do all of these things this weekend and that is what especially makes Monday's hard for me.
Oh on a side note. Saturday night was the first night we made dinner in our new place. Your dad made us delicious chicken enchiladas. Can I just say how happy we are to be in our new place and making a home together!?!? I LOVE it!!!!
After you and I woke up your dad handed me your Mother's Day card and it had your adorable little hand prints in it, brought tears to my eyes. You also had your signature bites marks and slobber around the envelope - my fave!
Then we all went downstairs where I was surprised with a big beautiful gift - an upright jewelry box, it is absolutely gorgeous! Then we had cinnamon rolls for breakfast while our "real" breakfast of eggs, ham and toast was being made. You sat in your "big girl" chair for the first time while I fed you toast and juice. You are absolutely hilarious! You love to blow bubbles with your mouth and even when it's full of food, pull hair and just laugh and smile at everything! You make my world SO much better than I could ever imagine. I am so incredibly lucky and absolutely blessed to be your mom. You are mine, all mine! I wonder how I got so freaking lucky!
I stayed in my pajamas all day. Plus I was feeling under the weather, so you and I didn't leave the house all day, it was perfect! You and I watched Tangled and played. I tried to get as much unpacking and organizing done as I could. You are such a curious little girl and want to be right where the action is. You really are a good little helper!
You are too busy nowadays to have your diaper changed. You move and try to crawl away - you don't cooperate at all during the process. You love your baths! I love giving you baths and playing in the water with you. I gave you a bath Sunday morning before your mid-morning nap and we played and played. You are a great little eater. You try everything and if you like it you'll eat a ton of it. Right now you are taking a liking to mashed potatoes.
Your dad made me a wonderful dinner of his famous salmon and asparagus, it was delicious!
This weekend was an amazing weekend. I love the time that we get to spend together. You are perfect! You are growing way faster than I ever imagined and it makes me sad, but at the same time I love watching you learn and change. I am a lucky, lucky mom!!
Thanks for the wonderful Mother's Day!
Love you!
Love,
mommy
