This year will be my first Mothers Day and I still can’t believe I’m someones momma. How would I describe motherhood? Hmmmm, well….the words I would use would be #1 Tried, #2 Whoa, #3 LOVE. I’ve never loved anyone the way I love my little boy. Watching him grow out of his clothes to learning how to rollover and crawl is wild. I’m witnessing the very beginning of his life that he’ll never remember. I think about that when I see him trying to scoot and crawl….like, he won’t remember this part of his life but his dad, his aunts, his grandmother, great-mothers, and I will.
Becoming a mom will immediately make you think about what our mothers and grandmothers went through with us. We were all trying scoot and crawl once upon a time. I don’t know where I’d be without my mother. She is a women that always did what she had to do for us. She is truly a women of strength and understanding.
If there’s anything that I’ve learned from my mom, it’s to not sit around and wait for someone to save you, because that won’t happen. EVER! When it’s time to move…you move.
Every Mothers Day is one to always cherish. Especially if you have an awesome Mom like I do. I always thinks of others, whose moms have passed on. I can’t help but feel bad sometimes that I have my mom right next to me when many don’t. Just know I’m think of you all who are in that position. I think of you guys whose moms have passed quite often. If you have a good mom or grandmother, don’t take them for granted, and remember the small things they do for you.
My son is still a baby, and since he can’t talk and walk yet, for this Mothers Day I thought it would be cool and try baby arts and craft with him. I saw something online called “Baby Smush Art.” This year we are going to give “Baby Smush Art” a try.

My First Mother’s Day Event with a 9 Month Old
For my first Mother’s Day my plan was to do “Baby Smush Art” but I changed my mind. I decided that I wanted to take my little guy to the Aquarium instead. People have said to me “He won’t remember going” well that’s not why I decided go. The primary reason I wanted to do this was because I wanted to see how he would react to it. I know he won’t remember his first trip to the Aquarium, but I got what I wanted for Mother’s Day. That was to see the curiosity in his eyes. I can’t wait to show him the photos we took of him on this day. The look on his little face when he looked up the giant fish and Sea Turtle was all I wanted for Mother’s Day.
