Kali's Bunny

I don't normally like to post more than once a day.  But since Blogger was down last week, I didn't get to post these.  So, here's another one for you!



 My Aunt Kathy was down from North Carolina to see my Dad's play.  This was the first time she got to meet Kali.  And Kali loved her (of course).  She came bearing gifts too! I bunny lovie.  Kali took to it immediately. And now, she doesn't go to sleep without it! She's so adorable cuddled up next to it!  She'll rub it's ears while she's drinking her bedtime bottle, and then will have a firm grasp on it when I lay her down.  She just loves that thing.  Well why wouldn't she?!  It's super soft, has ears and hands that she can chew on, and its fluffy.  Heck...now I want one for me! =)

Now for some random pictures:

My kids: Kali and Junior

at lunch on Mother's Day

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!!! =)
