Thanks to Caitlin who ran in the Brooklyn Half with me! (Sorry Brandi next time we will run together!) Thanks to the McGills for cheering for us at the finish line. Thanks to Tory for riding his bike beside us cheering us on the entire run. And thanks to Tony and Aldo for making it to Coney Island (needless to say they had major train problems)! It was an adventure and a fairly hard run, but I made it to the finish line in 2 hours 43 minutes. I am glad it's over BUT very proud of myself!!
Aldo was 11 weeks old on Memorial Day. He is really becoming alert these days! Every morning he wakes up at either 5 or 6 and just smiles!! It is the best feeling to see him smile. Other favorite Aldo moments are: seeing him try to sing when his daddy plays the guitar, the success he feels when he finds his hands, the look in his eyes when we take walks and he discovers new things- today he loved looking at the trees, the way he can lay with one fist in the air for hours, when he cries because his fist is too big to fit all the way in his mouth, and finally when he looks me in the face and I just know he knows I am his mommy!
This is Aldo's idea of spring cleaning- sleeping through all 3 hours of it!
This hat is too big for him now but how cute does he look! He popped his collar just like his Uncle Tony and cousin Wryder!
I had a wonderful Mother's Day (thanks to Tony)! We enjoyed brunch, a day in the park, and then watched my favorite show The Amazing Race while eating my favorite NY style pizza! To cap it all off Tony cleaned the bathroom! (which he does normally but it was late and I thought it was so sweet of him) Aldo gave mommy a very sweet card as well. All in all it was the best Mother's Day I could have asked for! I have two men in my life that I would do anything for and love unconditionally- I am the luckiest girl alive! I love you Tony and baby Aldo! Thanks for making my Mother's Day one to remember!
