Happy Mother's Day (a little late)

I had my first Mothers Day and it was wonderful. Sean, Lola, and I spent the entire day together shopping! I am in need of clothes that fit me as I am still trying to achieve my pre-pregnancy body ( I know, it will never be quite the same, but a girl can try - thank goodness for that 1% stretch in jeans! :) ). We shopped at the outlets, ate dinner at PF Chang's, and had family time. I feel really blessed for my husband, my daughter, and the rest of our family and friends.

We are all doing really well. Sean has finished this semester at UNLV, only to start his intense summer classes. He is looking forward to the end of the school year and his busy summer of Cinevegas and hopefully some traveling. I start work part-time on Monday and go back full-time on June 9. I am trying to savor these last few weeks with Lola as I wish I could stay home with her. I have enjoyed getting to know her. She smiles intentionally, especially when I get her up for the day. I have tried to capture her smile on camera or video, but as soon as she sees the camera, she is mesmerized by it and just stares at it. She enjoys her bouncy seat, which she often will fall asleep in. She is not sure yet about her swing, but we continue to try it once and a while. She loves her bathes and splashes around. She is a good eater and a fairly good sleeper. She has good AM naps, but not PM naps. She does not like to lay down in the afternoon, but she will sleep through the night, which I prefer anyway. We are really excited about our trip home memorial day weekend. It will be short, but so worth it. We can't wait for everyone to meet her. Here are a few more photos.
