Mother's Day 2012

My first Mother's Day was my best Mother's Day ever!

Cards, flowers, a nice dinner out, celebrating with my Mom and my little guy!

The photos speak for themselves!
I'm a spoiled Mommy!
(Thanks everyone!)




I can't handle the cuteness!!

Weekend with grandma

Eli was very excited that Grandma came to visit for Mother's Day weekend/her birthday! 

He made some gifts, baked a cake, and was generally cute the whole time.  We took Grandma to the Central Park Zoo, to NJ for a visit to IKEA, and out to some nice dinners.  He was also very good while Grandma and Mommy went to the casino and while Mommy and Daddy went out on a "date" (yay, Avengers movie and fast food!).  Eli already misses Grandma and can't wait to see her a lot this summer. 

I'll put the official "Mother's Day" photos on the next post, but here are a couple photos from the weekend ... though none with Grandma ... oops!


Making Mother's Day gifts!
Amazed by our crafty-time!

Loved the penguins!



This penguin loved Eli!
Mommy's favorite!

Mother's Day 2011

Yes, this post is about LAST year!
(Just wanted to be clear that this photo is NOT current .... because then I'd have to get a psych eval or something!)

On this Friday before Mother's Day, I think about last year (2011), on the Friday before Mother's Day.  It was that day that I peed on this stick and we found out about our little Baby Wynne!

So while this is my "first" Mother's Day, last year was pretty special too!

Our big boy!

The 4-month numbers are in!

Height = 24.75" (about 50th percentile)
Weight = 15 lbs (just under the 50th percentile)
(and I totally won the bet, with him coming in at exactly 15 lbs!)


Our little monkey is getting so big!

Waiting patiently for his doctor!

1799*

Approximate number of photos that we have taken of Eli since he was born.

*This is the count only of those on our computer, which includes all photos taken on "our good camera" and "our diaper bag camera".  Not included are hundreds of iPhone photos that are on our phones/iPads/the "cloud" (whatever that is!).*

And you thought we posted a lot of photos!

"WHAT?!? You've taken how many photos of me?
Oh, the embarrassment the future will bring!"

Eli's first Mets' game!!

I don't know who was more excited -- Eli or Daddy!
On April 21st, 2012, Eli went to his very first major league baseball game at CitiField to watch the Mets play the Pirates!  It was a sunny day, we got to see our friends (the Berry family!), and the Mets won (amazing!!!)!!!

We are very excited that Eli is a sports fan and look forward to a summer full of baseball outings!

Daddy is so excited to take Eli to
his first Mets' game!

The Wynne family cheers for the Mets!

Another of Eli's many girlfriends!
It was Meghan's first Mets' game too!

Our Mets fan friends -- The Berry Family!
(Congrats to Dr. Sean, celebrating his new PhD!)

"OMG!  I am at Citifield!"

"Go Mets!"
And a special gift from Daddy!
Eli will always remember his first game!

A sweet SMA baby

I am currently sobbing because of a blog I read by a sweet little girl named Avery who had suffered from SMA (Spinal Muscular Atrophy).  Sure, the crying is due to the lingering pregnancy hormones that I just can't shake, but it really is such a sweet and sad and important story, so I just had to share.  Please check out her story http://averycan.blogspot.com/2012/04/smavery.html.  And you better believe I will be looking into this genetic test before the next Baby Wynne is born!
