Mother's Day

I had the best first Mother's Day, thanks to TJ and Kali! TJ let me sleep in (WONDERFUL!!!!) and when I got up he was making breakfast (eggs, bacon, and toast Mmmmm).  He had my present sitting on the table for me: A NEW PURSE! I love it!!! (of course I don't have a picture of it, cause I'm a slacker.  But I will, eventually)  And inside the purse was.......the new Adele CD and a gift card to Starbucks! I was so excited.  I'm slowly but surely on my way to GOLD status with Starbucks!!

We were lazy most of the morning, but Kali refused to take a nap.  I think she knew it was Mother's Day and just wanted to spend the time with me.  Or something like that.

When I did finally get her to take a nap, it was only about 1 hour before it was time for us to meet TJ's parents for lunch at the Mexican Restaurant where we told them we were pregnant (thought it was appropriate).

She did so good.  She's now sitting in a highchair and eating some finger foods. I had some sliced avocado, and I gave her a little piece to chew on. Although she wasn't too sure about it, she's getting the idea.

I sure do love that kid! I'm so blessed to be able to have this Mother's Day thanks to TJ and Kali! As I was putting her to sleep, I just stared at her.  Its amazing how different my life is today than what it was this time last year, and even more different than the year before. 

Being a mother is the toughest job that I absolutely love! I can't wait to see her in the morning, I race to get her as soon as I get off work, and love rocking her to sleep every night.  She's so wonderful and I adore her!  She's the best gift that TJ ever gave me!!! =)
