Mother's Day Milestones

I want to start by saying Happy (Belated) Mother’s Day to my wonderful Mom. I wouldn’t be half the person I am today without her love and caring.

My first mom’s day was terrific. The babies are finally starting to sleep better at night, which meant that I was well-rested and able to get up early to do a quick run on the treadmill. We followed that with a trip downtown to Eric’s office to pick up some stuff and then an attempt to walk around the Reflecting Pool with the hopes of seeing baby ducks. Unfortunately and despite this week’s news, the terrorists won and instead of ducks, we saw a drained Reflecting Pool and the steel columns they’re installing to prevent bad things from happening. But, because the weather was nice, it was still a good walk.

After that, we went home where Piper and Fletch dazzled us with some new milestones. Fletch is FINALLY sitting unassisted, and Piper has learned to get up on all fours. She’s so close to crawling that we may have to bar the front door this week. That girl is on the move! (She has no interest in learning how to sit unassisted). I loved seeing them make so much progress. It was a wonderful Mother’s Day gift (along with the bottle of SkinnyGirl margarita. TYVM to my sweet husband for hiking to five liquor stores to find it.). Later in the day, we Skype’d with my mom, and then Eric’s parents came over, where we had fun playing inside and then eating outside (and drinking my margarita). It was a great day!
