I was so excited about Mother’s Day that I had actual butterflies in my stomach on Saturday night. It wasn’t because I expected any lavish gifts or a huge to-do. I was just excited to celebrate almost exactly six months of being a mama. (Fun fact: we brought Henry home six months ago yesterday)

We woke up early on Sunday to drive to wine country for brunch at the super fantastic Allison Inn & Spa where I thought that Dungeness Crab Benedict might not be enough food, so I went ahead and ordered appetizers. (Speaking of eggs benedict, this is hilarious.)

Proscuitto Arancini with Fondue and the Deviled Egg Trio. OMG.

Henry sat in a high chair next to me and looked charming. Sitting in a high chair is a new skill of his and he loves it.

I’m going to need a bite of that, Mama. Blurry because he NEVER stops moving.

After brunch we stopped at a couple wineries to grab wine club shipments and finally had a GREAT family photo taken. (I spend way too much time fretting over the lack of pictures of the three of us together.)

On the patio at Sokol Blosser.

And, on the patio at Domaine Drouhin. I have a lot of hair, okay?

We left wine country a couple cases of wine richer and Henry snoozed the entire way home. Pretty impressive for Baby No Nap.

Motherhood isn’t always easy, but it’s the best thing I’ve ever done. I’m so lucky to be Henry’s mama. I’m not sure what I did in my life to deserve such a terrific little guy, but I’m thankful that he’s mine every single day.

Hope your day was as fantastic as mine was.

• I still have not written Henry’s 5-month post. I really need to get on this as he turns 6-months old next Friday.
• One of my besties is coming into town this weekend and I’m ridiculously excited to see her and introduce her to Henry!
• Guess what? I went to Baby Bootcamp last week! It was haaaard. But, I felt great afterward. We’ve had stuff going on the past few days and haven’t been able to go back just yet, but we for sure will next week.
• I have approximately 5,000 (or 400) prints from our wedding and have been looking for an album to put them in. I bit the bullet and ordered a lovely Kate Spade wedding album. The only problem? The Macy’s listing (which is gone now) said that it holds 160 photos when it actually only holds 48. Why do you have to lie like that Macys.com?
• Last weekend, we hit up the coast to visit my dad/Bill’s parents and go to the crab festival in Astoria. Last year’s festival is when we told our parents that we were expecting. I was super nervous about my seafood intake and referred to my little wallet card obsessively. My how times have changed!

• It appears that I am wearing a blue bra in the photo on the left. Huh. It also appears that my son is eyeing my crab bread. Next year, baby boy. Next year.
• Have you seen Suri’s Burn Book? I love it so much. I love it so much that I forget that it’s not real sometimes. Earlier this week at the grocery store I read on a tabloid cover (you know you read them, too) that Suri was begging for a baby sister. I thought to myself, “That is highly unlikely!” and then remembered that Suri Cruise DOES NOT REALLY keep a blog.
• I sent my Star Wars Nerd-husband an email this morning with the subject line, “May the fourth be with you” and he has not responded. RUDE.
• Hope you have a nice weekend, friends!

My wardrobe choices have changed quite a bit in the 13 months or so. This time last year, I was trying my best to wedge my growing belly into my existing clothes and now I’m trying to wedge my (slowly shrinking) hips into those same outfits (I’m having a bit more success this time). I’ve been a bit reluctant to buy a ton of new clothes as the plan is (hopefully) to fit back into some of those clothes, but with my recent career change, I’ve purchased a few things to tide me over.

My two rules for new clothing are that it must be comfortable and it must be easy to wash. Babies are messy and dry clean only stuff is just not practical for me anymore. I find myself wearing a ton of black and grey, which isn’t very fun, especially for spring. Here are some ways I’m adding color to my wardrobe:

Gap Colored Khakis - I have these in green and pink. I really, really wanted some pink jeans, but decided that at 33 that probably wasn’t the best option for me (I’ll just have to hold onto my memories of the pink Guess jeans I had in the 8th grade). These are a fun and comfy alternative and perfect for crawling around on the floor with my little guy.

J.Crew Jersey Maxi Skirts – I bought one in navy/blue stripe for our trip to Miami and I seriously want to live in this skirt. I was thrilled to find a solid purple one on sale in-store on Saturday. I feel REALLY cute in this skirt. Which, is super important.

Bright tops from Splendid - Stripes are the official pattern of my postpartum wardrobe and Splendid is the official clothing brand. This stuff is super soft, easy to wash AND comes in tons of bright colors.
