Mother's Day

My first Mother's Day weekend is officially in the books.  Saturday was spent doing some of my favorite things - a little shopping at the mall, a trip to Brooklyn Water Bagel for the lox sandwich (yummm!) and a visit to Whole Foods to pick up my favorite May blooming flowers.  Saturday afternoon I went to a baby shower for my friend Katie who is expecting his first baby girl in June!  We are so excited for her and can't wait to have a little girlfriend for Theo.  Amongst the things we gave her was the BlaBla Kids Mermaid doll.  She is just so cute!

The best gifts in Stuart come from Matilda's in downtown.

John and Theo absolutely spoiled me on Sunday morning with my favorite iced latte, an adorable card, and new pair of earrings I have been coveting.  Someone must have bookmarked my recent wishlist...

Later in the morning we went over to my parents house for a Mother's Day family brunch.  Mimosas, more lox bagels, blueberry french toast and egg souffle were consumed and we all left completely stuffed.  Theo even got his first guitar lesson from his uncle, Dan. Sometimes I can't believe how lucky I am to have such a loving and supportive family.  I feel so grateful that we live so close to my family and that they can enjoy Theo and watch him grow.  Having my parents with us every step of the way throughout our first year of parenting has meant so much to me.  Before I go, below are some pictures from our first Mother's Day weekend.  I am already looking forward to father's day next month!
