Our first mother's day

   

What a wonderful day! I had sort of been imagining it since I found out that Nils was on his way. What would it be like to be a mom on Mother's Day? Turns out it feels pretty good. Strangers came up to me with well wishes. I think they saw how tiny my little one is, and assumed (correctly) that this was our first Mom's Day together.

And honestly, it was just the best! Oliver had it all planned out. First, brunch on the Upper West Side while Nils napped.

Then on to the Bronx Zoo. The zoo! Okay, so maybe Nils is still a little young to really get the whole "zoo" experience. Still... he looked at some of the animals:

The polar bear didn't seem to hold his attention though. Go figure:

His hands though - those were worthy of his time:

He even got in a little practice time on two legs:

Now the pressure's on... Father's Day.
