Firsts

The first time I saw you was on an ultrasound.
You were no bigger than an M & M.
Now, you are nearly a year old.

You got your first tooth.
You went on the bucket swing at the park for the first time.
You got your first stuffy nose.



You said your first words.
You took your first steps.
You climbed stairs for the first time.



You got your first nosebleed.
You ate your first "non-baby food" food (scrambled eggs).
You got your first pair of sneakers.



And now, it's my first.
My first Mother's Day as a mom.
Knowing that there are so many "firsts" yet to come is the best Mother's Day Gift of all.
