So, Mama gets to write this month’s post since it is Mother’s Day. I must say that Mother’s Day meant a lot more this year. I certainly got a lot more attention! I can’t even begin to describe how it feels to be the mother of this beautiful baby girl. She makes waking up every morning worth it. (Not that it wasn’t before…) I’ll wake up to her cooing in her bed. Then I’ll go in to get her out…she gets so excited. First, she’ll grin, then stretch, then start wiggling all over!
Well, this month we took our first family vacation to Stone Mountain. It was a lot colder than we were anticipating. In fact, we did not prepare for the cold at all and had to go buy sweatshirts!! and in May too!! Maggie got her first train ride. She spent it in the Snugli next to Daddy, the human heater. Daddy and I were not quite as warm however! The highlight of the trip was the laser show, of course. Maggie slept through dinner and the stroller ride to the mountain. As soon as the fireworks started going off and the music started, her eyes popped open. She watched, wide-eyed, the whole 45 minutes. It was so cold that we bundled her up in her stroller with about 5 blankets. The only thing that we could see of her was her nose and eyes. She loved the whole show. Of course, she slept great that night!
Maggie passed another milestone this month. She decided that she wanted to eat real food. While we were eating breakfast one morning in Georgia, she started pitching a fit because she wasn’t getting anything to eat. When we got back, we started her on cereal and fruit. So far, she loves everything that she puts in her mouth….but I guess she comes by it honestly!
Well, I think that about wraps up this month! I can’t imagine what life would be like without this little bundle of joy. When things aren’t going the way I think they should, all she has to do is smile and giggle at me to put me in a better frame of mind. There’s no way to describe the love that I feel for her.
