My 1st Mother's Day

I can honestly say I never thought I would be celebrating Mother's Day. I have gotten cards in the past from the dogs, but that was all just for fun. Today I celebrated my first Mother's Day and it was great. I got to open my present on Saturday night because Gabe was excited for me to have it. I got a new Cannon Rebel camera from Gabe, Ceci, and Jack. I was speechless!!! I have never  had a camera this nice, but I also haven't ever had anything so cute to photograph before! I read my owners manual as soon as I got up and started taking pictures. My posts will soon turn into Sandy posts...sorry Kelsey! :)  The day ended with Gabe making us gorgonzola hamburgers (one of my favorite meals). I couldn't ask for a better family. I am so lucky! :)

As a new mother here are some of the things I love:

1. The smiles I get no matter what time in the morning Jack gets up.

2. The belly laughs Jack lets out when Gabe makes him laugh. 

3. What a tough guy my Jack is--he already has 5 teeth! (The top 2 and 1 fang broke through this weekend)

4. The way Jack's face lights up when he smiles. 

5. The way Jack communicates with everyone. His newest noise is his fart noise. 

6. The way Jack loves to jump in his jumper. He can spend all day in that thing!

7. The way Gabe and I work as a team when it comes to Jack.  I couldn't do any of this without him. 

I am the messiest feeder...

He loves it though!
