First Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to everyone!

This morning we woke up early to go out for my Mother's Day breakfast. It is still hard to think of myself as someone's mother. Craig gave me a card and it had "Carisa and Mommy" on it. I'm like, who is mommy? Oh, yeah, that's me! We left the house at 8am and went to this place called Genie's in Southeast Portland. We had a wait of about 30 minutes. Gabe laughed at people and looked out the window during that time.

When we were seated we ordered our meals. I had a chicken apple sausage scramble, roasted potatoes, one pancake and decaf coffee. It was all very good; however, midway into the meal, Gabe got really fussy. During the last few days, he's been refusing solids, though still nursing like a champ and drinking juice and water. We think he may be teething (perhaps a dreaded molar coming in??). Or just asserting his newly discovered independence. So, as usual, he refused some fruit mixed with cereal, but drank some water from his sippy cup. Then he went slightly bonkers. So Craig, who eats faster than me anyway, ate his food and took him outside for a walk while I finished my meal.

I nursed him in the car, then we went home. Thankfully, he fell asleep on the way home.

In addition to my card, I got some Godiva chocolate covered dried strawberries. They are pretty good!

It seemed like Mother's Day just snuck up on me; I was late sending out cards to people. They'll be getting them late, but at least they are getting them, :)
