Grateful Day of the Year

My first day ... being a mom.

Feeling all content with Cole in my arms.

Holding my baby tight...

Nothing can bother me when he's on my chest...

1 month old celebration with my parents - they're the reasons why Cole and I are doing so well!

My own koala Cole-Cole bear

Always in my heart...

Sleep tight and don't let the bed bugs bite...

Cole is my honey bunch of oats...

I kiss him and nibble him constantly...

Cole's very fortunate to be able to see all his grandparents ... I've never seen my mom's father in person, except in the dream when I was a kid - he told me he's "leaving" and asked me to be a good girl.

Cole's happy, my mom's happy; My mom's happy, Cole's happy, I'm happy!

I love to nap with my little boy. Everything can be on hold when he's next to me.

My parents did a fantastic job raising me, I hope one day I can say the same.

Brian is a very supportive husband.

I want to teach Cole all I know ... and because of this little man, I am motivated to be a better person and want to keep learning!

I have one little advice for my little boy: Do what you love and passion about, and try you very best - then you're living your life fully.

May the Lord guide you and bless you: grant you wisdom to make right decisions in life, grant you strength and courage to go through challenges, open your heart to learn how to love others and offer your hands to them...

May you be happy and healthy ... knowing that I'm always here for you and with you.

On this special day, I am very grateful to have wonderful parents... Being a mom this year makes me appreciate my parents much more than ever.

I treasure today- not only because I have Cole, but also because of my mom's presence. The last time I had my mom next to me celebrating my birthday was 10 years ago (my dad will celebrate with me on web cam.) I wish in very near future, Brian, Cole and I can celebrate all our birthdays and every single event together.
