Hand and Footprinting

Hand and Footprinting
We didn't get hand or foot prints when she was born, so I wanted to get some before she gets too big. Bought some infant-safe ink online, waited for her to fall asleep...

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

Happy Mother's Day!

Today was my first mother's day, and it sure was fun! I am really enjoying being a mother to such a beautiful and wonderful little girl! And a wife to such a loving, supportive, and thoughtful husband!

My day started by waking up with my husband and feeding Catherine around 8am. Brandon took the 5am feed :) so I could sleep in a little. We then visited with my dad who came to visit late last night. After helping out by mowing our yard for us, my dad left to go visit Grannie for Mother's Day. We took showers, bathed Catherine, dressed her in a beautiful pink dress, and went to La Madeline for a Mother's Day brunch. It wasn't very busy when we went, so it was a perfect outing for little miss Catherine. After lunch (and another bottle), we went to the Houston Garden Center. I love to garden and have really missed doing so in the past months. I can't wait to introduce Catherine to plants and flowers when she gets a little older! We bought lots of flowers and greenery for the front flowerbeds and will plant them tomorrow morning when it's a little cooler outside. Houston in the summer gets pretty hot as most of you know!

To conclude my first Mother's Day, I am sitting on the couch, Catherine in my lap with full tummy, blogging. What a perfect day!
