Our First Mother's Day

I was so happy to celebrate my first official Mother's Day. This time last year, I was certainly Jordan's mother, but I didn't quite know the joys (and stresses) of what that meant that allowed me to truly celebrate being a mom. First and foremost, now that I have been through almost a year of motherhood, I have more respect for my mom than ever before. I had no idea of the sacrifices, struggles, love, dedication and pure joy that comes with being someone's Mommy. 

Jordan was helping Daddy hang a shelf in her play room. I love that she is already searching for the right one with her 'Stud' finder! :) We just hope he's 'level'-headed! Ha! Get it?!

With the first warm weather of the year, we could not WAIT to try out Jordan's swimsuit and start getting her used to the water for summer. There is so much about this picture that makes us laugh every time we see it. I don't know if it's the hat, the belly sticking out or those precious leg rolls! It really is just too much!

We went to dinner to celebrate my first Mother's Day. Chris did a great job and helping Jordan plan everything and making me feel special!

After and eventful day, we played peek a boo as Jordan walks to the other side of the furniture and peeks around to make sure we're still there. One of my FAVORITE things about her is the way she peeks around the corner when we ask where Jordan is! This second picture is exactly the face I'm talking about.

I love this girl more than I ever knew I could! I am so thankful that God has put her in my life and let me be her Mommy! I can't wait to celebrate many more Mother's Days with this little one!
