Here it is -- My first one

Okay so here it is. My first blog. I have no idea where this is going to go but it feels wonderful to be pursuing one of my passions --- Writing. I am a first time mom to the sweetest little boy in the world and am married to a wonderful husband who is also my best friend. Today was an amazing day ( I have a lot of amazing days since I have had a child). We take Jack out to the pool where we put on one of those Speedo vests ( not exactly a life jacket) but it does help him float. Jack loves loves the water and we have had him in our pool since he was a baby. So we are swimming around and all of a sudden he just starts moving around the pool by himself. He starts kicking underwater and moving his arms with the biggest smile on his face. He could not have been more proud of himself --- Dave and I just kept looking at each other with big goofy grins . He continued for at least another half an hour and when it looked like he was getting tired and I would reach out to him, he would put up his hand and say "no". I was extremely proud and a little sad too....this was just another sign that my baby was no longer a baby...he was a young boy starting to sprout little wings of independence.

So signing off for now. Will be back tomorrow.
