The Day I Became a Mommy - Our Journey Westward

I’ve been waiting a long time to become a mommy. Up until now, I’ve been a mama. Don’t get me wrong, I love being a mama, but there’s just something extra-special about being a mommy. :o) This weekend, that sweet word started rolling out of Eli’s mouth and I just can’t get enough of it!

“Dada” became “daddy” a couple of weeks ago. Caleb has been “bubby” for a while now. And Mahayla has been “thithee” (sissy) for a very long time. I’ve been waiting patiently be called “mommy”. Listen for yourself and tell me it isn’t precious!

Speaking of precious – take a look at the before and after pictures of a very short ride in the truck like a big boy. (Remember, we live on a farm and have lots of no traffic roads to travel. We don’t normally ride without the carseat. I’m just saying…for grandma’s sake!) No more than a minute or two passed from the first picture to the last! :o)
