It has been a very exciting week for us. Julia had her first plane ride, her first visit to Rhode Island, met lots more family (including her grandparents, great-grandparents, aunts, uncle, and cousin), saw the ocean for the first time, and is in the full swing of teething! I celebrated my first Mother’s Day and was thrilled to be able to spend it with my own stepmom and mom as well as my daughter.
Andrew’s gift to me for Mother’s Day was a book he made chronicling my journey to becoming a mom. It was incredibly thoughtful and he accomplished his goal of making me cry. I think it took me a good five minutes before I could even read the first page!
Our trip to Rhode Island was wonderful. It was very nice to see family and have additional sets of hands to help with Julia! She loved spending time with everyone and taking in all the new sights and sounds. She is incredibly alert and aware and really did not want to close her eyes the entire time we were there. She especially liked watching her cousin Alex. I’m sure she’s eagerly anticipating the day she can run around and explore to her heart’s desire. Given her spirited attempts to roll over and sit up and her penchant to always be on the move I’d say that day is not too far away!
Here are a few of my favorite pictures from the week.
