Mother's Day

This was my first Mother's Day as a mom and I enjoyed every second of it. I truly never understood this day until I got to celebrate it as a mother myself. Of course I always appreciated my mom and celebrated her on this day, but I never truly got it...now I do.

I give many kudos to Andy for making my first Mother's Day very special. He asked me if there was anything specific that I wanted to do and I let him know that all I wanted to do was spend every minute with my big man since I don't get to see him much during the week. Andy came through with my request. We started out the very early Sunday morning with play time in mommy and daddy's bed (like we always do) followed by a quick 7am nap on my chest.

Then Andy made my favorite breakfast...his homemade pancakes with turkey sausage. We gave the big man his first pancake and he just loved it. He got super excited as I was walking toward him with food and then couldn't get it in his mouth fast enough. It was way too funny and was probably the highlight of my day.

After that we went outside for some play time and of course photos.

We spent most of the day standing. Yes, standing. All the big man wants to do these days is pull himself up and stand around. He always gets a good giggle out of this as he is very proud of himself for pulling himself up to a standing position...and this mamma is proud too!

We also opened the presents Max got me and I had so much fun watching him with the tissue paper again. He got me a nice framed picture of himself for my office at work, lottery tickets and a bottle of wine for those days that a mom just needs a bottle of wine. We went to lunch and ended the day with daddy making us a nice dinner. All-in-all I must say, I had the perfect first Mother's Day. I got exactly what I wanted...100% Max time and family fun time!!!
