My First Mother's Day

Sadly, Kevin had to leave at 6:30 am on Mother's Day to catch a plane to NY for business, but I did get to spend my first Mother's Day with our precious baby girl. Bradyn started things off right by getting Daddy to spoil me with a Spa Utopia gift certificate - I'm so excited! Grandma made the day even better by taking the second picture of Brady with a full face grin. We may actually start catching this little girl's smiles on camera so people believe me when I say she's not always so serious. What more could a mom want? (Ok, so she's no Camera-Ham like cousin Kiera, but there's hope.)

Overwhelmed With Love

My intention was to have at least one new posting each week, so people would be able to check and see how life with Bradyn is progressing. But how many times can you say 'I love her, 'She's so beautiful', 'She changes every day' and 'I can't imagine my life without her' before people get sick of it? Every day is a new adventure with Bradyn. She's becoming so alert, she LOVES to stand (often with very little support) and she's starting to grab the dangling toys on her activity bars. She even pulled herself forward a few times when she was resting in the crook of my arm. And talking? We are going to have one seriously chatty little girl on our hands once she gets started with actual words. I love when she gets those big gummy smiles and her whole face lights up. Unfortunately, I can never manage to catch it on film. Definitely something to work on.
One of the best things is when Kevin gets home from work and her face lights up when she sees him. I sent an email to Sherri today and asked 'Have you ever just gotten such an overwhelming feeling of love for Kiera that you hug her so tight you're afraid you might break her back? And she 'hugs' you right back?' Sometimes there are just no words to describe my feelings but Kevin says it best....I sure love that baby.
