One Year Ago

One year ago today. Anxiously waiting the arrival of our beautiful baby girl. I couldnt imagine having a baby just 2 days later or being a mother. Now I can barely remember life before nor do I miss it. I wouldnt trade it for anything in the world.

My First Mother's Day

I had an awesome first Mothers Day thanks to my handsome husband and 2 beautiful girls! Brooklyn gave me a card the Friday before with pink and purple flowers drawn on the front and inside it read:

Happy Mothrs day! I love you to infndy yor such my day! Yor a graet mommy!!
Aren't cards made by 7 year olds the cutest thing ever?!

On Sunday, I was able to sleep in while Luke got up with Lola, fed and changed her, took her with him to the store for breakfast ingredients and also to get my favorite cup of coffee! I woke up to the smell of coffee, BEAUTIFUL purple tulips AND the most delicious Razz-ma-tazz* pancakes EVER!
*Razz-ma-tazz pancakes can only be had at my and Luke's favorite breakfast cafe in Monterey, CA. We go and get them every time we're out there. They are made up of Raspberries, granola and coconut. So, so yummy!! Luke knows they're my favorite, making them most appropriate for this very special day :)
As if that wasn't enough to make it a great Mothers Day already, my dearest husband (and sweet Lola) gave me a gift certificate to my favorite spa for a massage and another certificate to have a service come and clean my house! How lucky am I!! For the remainder of the day, Luke treated me like a princess, catering to my every need and then finished the evening by making me one of my favorite dinners. It was an awesome day full of pampering and thoughtful gifts from my sweetheart who wanted me to know just how wonderful of a mother he (and on behalf of our children) think I am. I truly am so lucky to be the Mommy of Brooklyn and Lola and I hope that I make them feel as happy and loved as they do me. Happy Mothers Day to all the Mothers out there. I hope your day was special too.

My baby girl and I on our first Mothers Day together!

Misc Pics- April

Shaking her pointer at Momma :)

Already sneaking into the fridge :)

Just woken up from her nap- Such a smiley girl

Cutest little bum in the world!

Getting ready for bath time!

This is how she naps lately. So cute that she rests her head on her hand and holds onto her silky for sweet dreams :)

Momma's Wakie-shine girl

Getting into mom's clothes. She loves to put anything she can over her head! Silly Lolie :)

She likes to climb into her infant seat and hang out. Maybe she's trying to tell me she wants to get out of the house more :)

Lola With Her Walker

Per request (and bc I love to show my baby off) here are some videos of Lola learning to use her little musical walker. The first one is from a month ago when she was just getting used to it. The best part is the end when she runs into a road block and then wants to get down but spends an hour trying to figure out how to bend her knees to get herself down!

This next one is from about 2 weeks ago, you can tell she's starting to get the hang of it



And this one is from this last week. She has the hiccups, is trying to wave (her newest 'trick') and jabber, all while trying to push her walker. She is getting so big!

A Groggy, Just-Woken-Up Syd + Steep (and Surprisingly Slick Carpeted) Stairs=

One Fat Bruise.

Lets just say it hurt. A lot. And maybe I even cried a little...
