Happy Mother's Day

My sister, Jennifer, & I celebrated with our mom early. The three of us went to the Orpheum to see "Fiddler On The Roof." It was wonderful! We enjoyed having a girls' night with dinner & a show. We don't have enough moments like these & it was nice to celebrate my first Mother's Day with two of my favorite mommas, whom also are my closest friends. I have learned so much from them both & will continue to seek advice from them.

My first Mother's Day was spent with my mom, which was very special. Jacob got me a very sweet card that said I am the best mommy in the whole world! :) Jason also got me a card & a standup mixer, which I've been wanting for some time. Now I have a good excuse to make a yummy cake!

9 months old

Jacob turned 9 months old April 20. He has been pulling up on the furniture for some time & is now beginning to stand on his own. It won't be long till he's walking. He's already doing well with holding my hand & walking. He's constantly moving. He has a walker, but he'd rather be down in the floor crawling around.

One of his favorite things right now is a Curious George monkey that he loves! He'll find him & kiss on him, lay his head on him, hug him & act like it's his best friend. It's so sweet!

He weighs about 23-24 lbs & is about 28 in long. He's slimmed down some since he started moving around more, but he still has those rolly-poly legs & chubby cheeks. They won't be there long for momma to kiss on. I still take advantage of his willingness to give me those wet open-mouthed kisses. For now he's ok with loving on his momma, but I know that won't last always. Time is not on my side - he's growing too fast.
