Being Evie's Mom

Yesterday I celebrated my first Mother's Day! I now understand why people like Mother's Day more than their birthdays. This Mommy thing is the BEST THING EVER!!!!!!! I'm so proud to be Evie's Mom! I have really enjoyed every stage so far, and they definitely keep getting better and better.

The cute story of the week is that this weekend Evie and I were going through the nightly getting-ready-for-bed routine and after she and I read 2 books I cradle her in my arms and sing her a few songs before putting her in her crib. While I'm singing I usually carress her head, forehead and cheeks. Well this time, while I was doing that, she slowly lifted her arm and started running her hand through my hair (not pulling it) and then ran her hand across my face over and over while "singing" (kind of a quiet hummm in different pitches). It was the best thing EVER!!!!!!

I can't wait to see what's in store for us as this little one gets bigger and bigger! :)
