Happy Mother's Day, Mom!

For Mother's Day, Noah and I would like to give an extra special shout out to my mom. Over the last 21 months, she's been a super important part of Noah's life despite being halfway across the country. From the moment Noah was born (turned sideways) staring straight at my mom and Ash, I knew the two of them were going to be special friends.

My mom flew out a few hours after I told her my water broke, and she was there with us for Noah's birth. Over the last 21 months she's made countless trips to see Noah and we've visited her quite a bit too. From flying to New Orleans to babysit while Ash and I went to a wedding to flying to Maryland so I could attend the Marriage Equality hearings here, she is always there for her grandson (and me.)

When I went to the Senate hearing on marriage equality, I was away from Noah for the longest I'd ever been away. I felt apprehensive about leaving him, but as I came to the baby gate to say goodbye to him. He came over and removed my hand from the gate, then turned around, sat in my mom's lap to cuddle in close for her to read to him. Noah wanted me to know not only was it okay for me to leave, but he wanted to spend time alone with Grammy.

Happy Mother's Day, Mom! We love you. I put together this little video for you to enjoy!
