Just because

Just thought I would post some pictures and video from the last few weeks. . .

The tie looks better on her, doesn't it? (She found another tie today and tried to put it on)
First dance

Baby Dedication at church

Reading up for our vacation

Climbing up to sit with me in the chair (scary, I know)

Ready or not. . .

Taking turns with her cousin on the riding toy
(I helped them trade places for the video, but they started pushing each other on their own)

Mother's Day

Isn't it strange how your relationship with your mom changes once you become a mom yourself? I had no idea how much love, time and effort went into raising me! My mom stayed at home with us when we were young, and I have wonderful memories of playing pretend, watching movies, and listening to records with my mom. I hope and pray that Tinkerbell will look back on her childhood with fond memories of homemade play-dough, The Sound of Music, and unconditional love - love you, Mom!

My parents were here for the weekend before leaving on their Caribbean cruise, so we got to spend Mother's Day with them. R was super sweet to surprise me with flowers, a great purse that I had my eye on, and cleaning the kitchen after lunch (the best present a mom could ask for). I was bummed to send everyone off last night, but am focusing on our upcoming trip to Switzerland - five weeks to go!
PS - Tink took her first steps last week and has been climbing onto the furniture by herself. . .
