Mommy’s First Mother’s Day

[singlepic id=456 w=320 h=240 float=none]

Mommy had to work on Mother’s Day from 8 AM until noon because she was responsible for seeing all the Kaiser ob/gyn inpatients this week. 

Aunt Ellie beat me to the punch and mailed Mommy her 1st Mother’s Day present — a soft caddy and a scarf from her recent trip to Egypt:

When Mommy came home today, I almost brought Mommy to tears when I was all ready with my bouquet of roses.

Daddy was also prepared with a heart-shaped fruit tart.

Daddy also made a collage of some photos Daddy and I took this morning.

Yes, that’s my awesome Daddy’s art project!  As you can see, I helped out a lot!

Last week, I also made Mommy Mother’s Day gifts. (Rather, I accompanied Mommy to make her Mother’s Day gifts.)  The craft store, Michael’s, had a session for making free necklaces and bracelets from glass beads.  Mommy couldn’t resist any art projects and jumped in.  So, here’s what I accompanied Mommy to make:

1. Necklace

2. Bracelet

The beads were actually quite beautiful (even though the photos don’t quite do them much justice).  They were so beautiful, in fact, that I love playing around and pulling on the necklace and bracelet.  Needless to say, Mommy promptly took of them off and set them in her jewelry box for when I am older because obviously beads are a choking hazard.

There is a reason why mommies of infants and small toddlers do not wear any jewelry.  🙂

Happy Mother’s Day to all the mommies in the world!  Thanks to my Daddy for helping me make Mommy happy on her first Mother’s Day.  Remember, I’ll still need your help for a few more years to come.

Fun Packed Weekend!

It was 80 degrees this past weekend and Mommy & Daddy had lots of activities planned for me.

We went to Reston Town Center’s annual Pet Fiesta.  I got to see lots of different kinds of dogs.  I got to debut my hat, which is actually a hat for 18-24 month old babies, but as you know, I have a big head.  Pardon my odd look, I just woke up from my nap.

Mommy also made sure we made it to Whole Foods to check out their Stonyfield YoBaby yogurt sampling.  I’m a huge fan of their yogurt, so Mommy wanted to see if they were sampling their “food + yogurt”  concoctions.  It’s too bad they weren’t, but…what Mommy got was even better.  We got a stack of coupons for free 4- or 6-pack of yogurt for life…haha…well, not really.  It’ll probably last me one year, or until they expire at the end of the year.  The lady giving out the samples loved me so much she told Mommy to take a whole stack of these valuable coupons and Mommy wasn’t shy about it either.  After all, each 6-pack costs $3.99 and I eat about 2 packs per month, so you do the math.  Thank goodness for small pleasures!

On Sunday, Mommy’s friends from residency, Aunt Janifer and Aunt Shilpa met up for brunch at Founding Farmers to bid farewell to Aunt Shilpa who will be leaving the east coast to go to Stanford for her Maternal Fetal Medicine fellowship.  Go, Aunt Shilpa!

Founding Farmers was an awesome restaurant were the food is all from local farmers and the restaurant itself was constructed very “green.”  I had some blueberry pancakes and boy, were they yummy!  It was the first time I ate pancakes.

Luckily, it was at a restaurant because I left a huge mess and left Mommy & Daddy very embarrassed.

After the carbohydrate load, I was pooped and fell asleep.
