Mother's Day

What a wonderful day! Jason got up, got Kaylie and brought her in to see me. In her hand she had a card for me. Since she is getting good with her da sounds we practice them a lot. She loves to say "da, da, da, da, da, da" over and over. The next step is for her to say "ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma." She finally did it, only she wrote it on the front of the card instead of saying it. It amazes me how something so small can make me smile. Once I got out of bed I went into the living room and Jason had his present for me. It was a beautiful etched glass vase with a matching perfume bottle. I love etched glass and I knew that the perfume bottle would fit in nicely with the ones I already had. Jason told me that I needed to be ready to leave by 10:30. Yeah! With Kaylie being sick for the fourth weekend in a row I needed to leave the house. He ended up surprising me with a brunch at the Gaylord Texan. This is a huge resort located in Grapevine about 45 minutes from our house. It was awesome! Their were so many different types of food. They served Mimosas and had a band playing. The flowers were gorgeous and the services was great. Of course I could not leave with out having a diet coke. During breakfast Kaylie was very well behaved. We layed the back of her stroller down and let her play inside it. Since she is pulling up and crawling it was a little harder to keep her inside the stroller. After awhile we gave up and strapped her in. She behaved wonderfully. We finished our family time by walking around the resort. The design of this hotel is amazing. Their are so many plants, a riverwalk that resembles San Antonio, a huge pool, and many different shops and restaurants to keep anyone busy. It definitely made for a great picture opp.

When we got home we spent the rest of the day as a family. We got comfortable and relaxed. I could not have asked for a better day. It is amazing to see how much our little family has grown. As our little munchkin approaches a year I look back and know we are blessed. Man time flies!!!!!

Does anyone see a problem with the newspaper? She doesn't want her other baby friends to feel bad that she can read and they can't so she is acting like she doesn't know which way the paper is supposed to go.


She was put in this box a long time ago and barely peeked out over it. I put her in it again thinking I would have to fight to keep her in for a picture. I could not get her out. She loved this thing.
Her new thing is to play shy. If someone walks up to her to say hello she looks at them and rubs her head into me. I love it!

This picture is priceless. Shiner stood in the doggy door for a good 2 to 3 minutes. Sometimes I wish he had a bubble that popped up telling us what he wants. Lately he just stands in front of you and stares. This can go on for several days. Bailey on the other hand wants to know why Shiner is in her way.

Jason...thank you! You so badly wanted my first mother's day to be special. This week has been hard for me. I am struggling with some of the memories this time last year brought and I thank you for everything you did. You definitely made my first MD a memorable one! I love you!
