My first Mother's Day was a huge success! Benjamin (and Will) did a fantastic job making this new mama feel super loved. With a face like that it doesn't take much to make me smile!
On Saturday, Will informed me that Benjamin had asked to go shopping. It was the first time Will has been alone with Benjamin in the car and I was a little nervous knowing my precious cargo were on the streets. (I know. I am SO a first time mom.) While my guys were off shopping I enjoyed a nice LONG shower and a good cup of coffee.
Shopping was exhausting!!Note: Love the tiny foot sticking out. :)
Sunday morning I woke up to a sweet baby holding a card with a huge smile on his face. Benjamin was so thoughtful he even splurged on a new single-cup coffee maker for this caffeine lover. I had a great Mother's Day spending time with my guys. I am one blessed lady. I love being apart of the mommy club!

Last week Benjamin and I were social butterflies.
Last week Benjamin and I were social butterflies. We spent a few days in Mckinney spoiling my mom for Mother's Day. She is an incredible lady and I feel so blessed to call her Mom. I pray I can love my children the way she has loved me. We also enjoyed spending time at Aunt Amanda's. The picture below in Benjamin talking it up with his favorite Aunt.
Love me some Luke.
Saturday morning Benjamin and I headed to Dallas to have breakfast with more wonderful friends. Ben was not on his best behavior. He was great for the first 20 minutes and then screamed his head off the rest of breakfast. My sweet friends took turns taking him outside. The following pics were clearly taken pre- meltdown.
Alyssa and Ben
Ben and Staples chilling out.
We had a great time hanging out with fun Megan who came and spent the day with us. Ben loved being rocked to sleep by her!
Don't let this picture fool you!!! Benjamin is the WORST napper ever. Before this picture was taken the following events occurred: screamed in his crib for an hour, screamed in my arms for 15 minutes, bounced in my arms pacifier in finally reaching a slumber. Whewww I am exhausted just typing that.
I have tried every trick in the book in an effort to train my child to nap in his bed. The only thing that seems to work is sleeping on his tummy. He has taken a 2 1/2 hour nap the past two days!! Amazing. The whole tummy thing makes me super nervous. I put a tiny animal on his back so I can see him breathe more clearly on the monitor. I can't wait for him to become more mobile so I can stop staring at the monitor the whole nap!
If you have met Ben you know he is three things: 1. Precious. (duh!) 2. A thinker. 3. A hard baby. He has started this whining thing where he is fussing and smiling at the same time. The picture below is the closest I could get in capturing the face. It is hilarious!
Benjamin has also started holding toys and sucking on them. His favorite is his cute giraffe.
I will end with a post bath time picture.
Love me some Luke.
We also got to visit one of my dearest friends Elizabeth and her adorable daughter Lily. Elizabeth and I have known each other since middle school. What a blessing it is to have a friend like her!
