My first Mother's Day!

What a fantastic Day!
I could never imagine what it would be like to be a mom - I even have to admit that I wasn't always sure that I wanted to be one. I approached motherhood in trepidation and holding only to blind hope that I would do OK.

However, now as I look back at my first Mother's Day I am so incredibly thankful, grateful, ecstatic and proud to be this little man's mommy! I can't imagine feeling a fuller sense of joy!

I know I sound like a Hallmark card - though not quite as eloquent-but I can't help myself!

My fabulous mother's day was incredibly simple - I was woken at 6am
(no that's not a joke) (yes on a Sunday)(yes I am tired as #*!!)
My first gift was a snooze with the little guy till after 7 - H bomb gives the gift of bonus sleep if you will snuggle with him.

When we got up we had a bottle and played with various blocks, trucks, books and stuffed tools (Thank you Renee!) until daddy woke up. Dad gets to sleep in after photographing weddings.

It is so fascinating to watch this little man be a learning machine - we practiced picking things up with our pincer fingers, eating puffs, standing, climbing over pillows-over mommy-over Foto and Fiona and over anything else in his way. We had a blast. (I should also mention that the words ma ma were babbled SEVERAL times!)

So once little man was tired out and ready for a nap - Mom got to shower (no small luxury!) and get ready just in time for him to wake and be ready again.

We headed out and had a FABULOUS lunch at our fave sushi spot (ok we live in Dahlonega - it is the only sushi spot). Then, we ran to the outlets to get Hayden PJs and get my car washed and cleaned out! Yes! I know everyone is reeling in the excitement of it all!

After a jaunt to the grocery, the evening was spent over guacamole and enchiladas with our good friend Matt who is in town and Adam's Mom and Dad better known as granny and grampa. It was great to enjoy good company and fun conversation in our home.

That's it - and it was an AMAZING Mother's Day.
