Mommy's 1st Mother's Day

Jack and mommy enjoying a sunny Mother's Day at the park. I'm gonna call this a smile, even though I know it's more of a scream to get away :)

Last Sunday I enjoyed my very first Mother's Day...as a mom! I have to tell you it was kind of surreal. I got cards in the mail and everyone was wishing me a happy Mother's Day but it didn't quite sink in that it was all for me. But by the end of the weekend, I was definitely feeling the love because Christian really went all out to make me feel special.

Christian surprised me with a Mommy's day off on Saturday. I hate to admit I was slightly hung over from the night before (darn those sangria's), but because it was my day off I got to sleep in....until 7:30, woo-hoo! I woke up to breakfast in bed and a super happy baby. It's like Jack knew something was up so he was absolutely giddy with excitement and on his best behavior. During breakfast I read a beautiful letter from my hubby about why he loves me and what an amazing mom I am. I have to tell you, the man has a way with words!

I then had a surprise spa day at the St. Regis (heaven), lunch at Coast (and more sangria) with my friend Sarah and a little shopping (didn't buy anything). But by 3pm I was missing my boys so I headed home and we took a walk to the park in our neighborhood. I love just laying on a blanket in the sun with my boys watching Jack catch bubbles. The facial was great, but this really was a little slice of heaven!

Sunday started with another huge breakfast, followed by church and then back home to relax, then more food. I swear I gained 5 pounds in 2 days!! But it was all worth. My first Mother's Day weekend was pretty awesome. But I have to laugh, because as much as I love my son and I know he loves me, there's still 1% of him that still favors his daddy. I'm ok with it now and actually think it's kind of cute. If you don't believe me, check out the pictures we took at the park that Saturday. We must have taken 10 pictures of Jack and me in an attempt to capture that perfect 1st Mother's Day photo. Notice when he finally smiles! Gotta love it! Until next year...

No smiles for mommy.

Is that a strawberry puff on my pants? Sweet!

Seriously people, it aint gonna happen!

Nope, still not smiling!

Hey, is that Daddy over there?!

I rest my case...

One last funny thing to share....we must have worn Jack out during our fun-filled weekend because by Sunday night he was obviously exhausted. Enjoy...
