Still can’t believe I have a kid. When I say this out loud, Rick responds with “Oh, you better believe it”. Thanks.
I had a great first Mother’s Day. My family gave me some awesome gifts and it was fun to spend the day just hanging out. Mallory got me some BEAUTIFUL flowers and a book I wanted, Rick got me a gift certificate to the spa (yeah – pedicures!) and Cooper got me (or him??) a travel dog bed that we’d been eyeing for the back of my car. We went to dinner with my mom and my sister & her family; we also went for a little boat ride. Cooper was all over it ~ he totally remembers how to jump on & off the boat and was snoozing in the sun during our cruise. Mallory, however, was NOT liking her lifejacket, seeing as how it jams up under her chin. It probably didn’t help that she was exhausted.
My father (with the knack) sent some pretty flowers and a card, signed “Mallory’s grampa”. Cracks me up. I also got a Mother’s Day card from my fake niece (my best friend Molly’s little big girl), wishing me a happy 1st mothers day and hoping that I slept in late like her mommy. Um, not so much with a 6-month old who is still breastfeeding.
On that note, sometimes Mallory likes to remind us how lucky we are to have such a great sleeper. She does this by waking up at 3a, screaming bloody murder, so that we are up for an hour comforting her. This happens about once every couple of weeks, and can probably be avoided by making sure she gets her naps in during the day.
happy mothers day – you are a GREAT mama!!!
