First Mother's Day!

Sunday, May 11th was a big day in our house... well, maybe not, but it was a great day! It was my first Mother's Day and it was also my 27th birthday! I am so thankful to have a beautiful baby boy and a wonderful husband to share my life with. What a blessing being a mother truly is! We had my family over for brunch and then spent the rest of the day together (mainly shopping and packing the trailer for the upcoming May Long Weekend). I was spoiled with a new Garmin GPS Personal Trainer, which I'm very excited about for running. I also got an iPod stereo. Lucky girl! :) This has been a very busy week and it seems to be flying by like crazy... Gerry was home sick on Monday from work (wasn't feeling too great on Sunday and had a bad case of the flu all day Monday). He stayed in bed most of the day and was feeling somewhat better on Tuesday, so he went back to work. Colby is doing much better thanks to his cough syrup. His cough is pretty much gone now and he's back to his normal self now. It seems that since he has turned 5 months old, his naps have turned right around! They are very regular and he's sleeping for much longer periods of time now... including his 11-12 hour bedtime sleeps. Loves to sleep, just like his mommy! :) He's doing pretty well with his solid foods... he has rice cereal and prunes every morning and seems to be enjoying it. It's quite the mess though!! We are going camping for the annual quadding weekend. There are many units going and a ton of quads, so it's going to be a great weekend. I got a new helmet, so I'm excited to be able to quad this year (couldn't last year because I was pregnant!) I'm thinking I'll be a little rusty, but we'll see! It's a lot of work packing a new trailer, but it's coming along nicely. Next I need to tackle Colby's stuff... I have two huge lists for him! I'm sure he'll do well as he enjoys being outside on our walks and runs. I'll keep you posted on how the weekend goes! Have a great long weekend everyone and enjoy the continued beautiful weather ahead!!
