Mom's First Mother's Day
Posted by Missy Roberts at 8:25 PM About Jake
Today was my first Mother's Day and God blessed us with a beautiful day. Jacob woke up at about 6:30 this morning after a fairly good night. He woke up twice to eat (that hungry little boy). We were up for about a half an hour and then daddy woke up. We all played for a little while in our bed and then Jacob presented me with his Mother's Day gift. Really he is all I will ever need for Mother's Day, but I guess tradition calls for a gift of some sort. So first I opened up his card, it was a Mickey Mouse card, very cute, when I opened it up, Mickey said something to me:) Jacob gave me two books for me to read to him. One of the books makes me cry everytime I read it. The title of the book fails me now, but I now I will enjoy reading that book to him forever! I also got a beautiful frame that says "The best Mom EVER!" with a beautiful picture of my baby and me. He has the most adorable smile in the picture. Jacob also gave me a beautiful white gold and diamond bracelet. I told him that I will always wear this bracelet for important dates in his life, like his dedication (in a couple of weeks), his graduations, etc. Gosh, I am so excited to experience all these important dates in his life and to know that I will be there from the very beginning. I love him so much. Added to Jacob's present was a book from my honey...a COOKBOOK! Okay babe, I get the hint...I need to cook more often:) Actually, he knows I love cookbooks, now I just need to start using them more.
Later this afternoon both sets of grandparents came over along with Uncle RJ, Auntie Sonnia, Auntie Di, Uncle Jeff and the boys, and Auntie Val and the kids. We had a full house, but it was special. Daddy and Papa barbequed some chicken and ribs and we had a good lunch/dinner. Jacob gave his grandmas his gift to them...a brag book with lots of pictures of him and them together, a frame with the cutest picture of him in it, and an angel bear that says "Grandmas are antiqued little girls" They both loved their gifts. Jacob had a good time today getting passed from one family member to another. When everyone left he played in his gym for a while...I think he enjoyed being on his own for a while:)
Overall, today was a beautiful day. It feels so good being Jacob's mommy and I look forward to many many many more Mother's Days with him. Mommy and Daddy love you baby!
