Happy Birthday To Me!

Yayyy!! Well today was pretty a pretty low-key day..didn't do anything special.. It's funny as you get older birthday's seems like a blah..or maybe its just me I dunno!..I spent the day helping set up a wedding cake that I did for my classmate. My friend came along with me so that made it fun... Other than that it was a pretty normal day.. I guess the best way to look at is that I'm blessed to see another birthday and for that I'm grateful. Getting older and more fab!

Here are some pics of the cake:

Not bad...Lucky for me it was less labor this time ..The florist arranged the flowers on the cake

513 darling days

Happy Year and a half Denny! Big Boy!

I can't believe we have a 18 month old already. Although he acts like 18 months going on
18 years. It is a blessing to be his parents. He is so funny because"everyday" he says to either of us.. "Happy Birthday!" and smiles. He believes there is some significance to this and it brings a smile to his face and ours when he says it. He has so much personality!

A year and a half of :
Smiles and and running miles(behind him)
Giggling and tickling
Talking and walking
Smarts and Farts! lol
Poop and Ice scream scoops
Feeding and Reading Hanging and loud banging
Cries, Hi and Goodbyes

Sleepless nights and Fascinating sights
Hits and misses
Love, hugs and Kisses
A year and a half of fun
A great year being one.

Loving every minute of it and looking forward to more!

Party Time!

Today we took Denny to a Birthday party at McDonalds for his cousin ( my nephew) Nicholas whom he met for the first time. My sister Nicole(whom I haven't seen for years but we keep in touch through Facebook) lives in the US and she came over for the summer and I finally got to meet my 3 handsome nephews for the first time and saw some other relatives .
This was a first meeting for my hubby too.. Denny's first party invite. So this was an exciting time for all of us.. Well ..more so for Denny...because this was kiddie territory. Denny had some temper tantrums and was acting out a bit(fussing over balloons with the other kids)..I don't know....maybe he was a bit overwhelmed.. eventually he warmed up..Other than that it was a great day for all of us!

Here are some pics of the day in no particular order...

How cute is he?

My last adorable nephew Hector..

Denny Daily (DARLING -DARNDEST THINGS he says and does)

Happy Birthday...its so funny..he religiously repeats this every day.. especially if he can see you look upset. Little Charmer.

Mama... I neeeed the bubba...(grinning and refering to breastfeeding..uhuh he still wont stop)

After drinking a nice cool cup of water.."Ahhhhh..I'm the water man." It's so cute to hear and really is the "waterman" this kid can drink lots of water..which is good!!)

He said to me out of the blue...in a high-pitched voice..."Mama..I wuv you!! You know I melted on the spot... Love this kid to death!

He is not only sweet but
J-E-A-L-O-U-S.. If he witnesses Walter kissing me it turns into a kiss show-down between the two... Denny would intentionally double upon his kisses..its so fun and I love the attention I get from my two special guys.

He clasped both his hands on my face and said, " Pretty Mama." What a sweetie!

"Mommy!!! I pooped!..lol... funny boy!

Denny: "Mommy.....I hungee(hungry).. Food ..Food!
ME: You're hungry sweetie..well what do you want to eat...? Denny:" Spaghetti....!" and if i don't have any of the things he asks for he will proceed to list a bunch of other food from memory like rice or chicken, cereal, mango..the list goes on and on.. until I can give him what he requests. Too Smart!!

Oh yes...One day Denny's Godmother Nancy told him he was "too cute!" and ever since then every time he sees her he would say "Goddy..I cute!" with the cutest lil grin on his face. It is so funny to hear and I recall one day during sacrament meeting, we walked in and he spotted her and yelled out the same phrase and it was so quiet in the room..can you imagine what that was like? Thanks to "Goddy Nancy" I have a conceited cutie. ..oh Boy! lol

Denny sings to himself " Happy Birthday to you Denny."

Denny loves to sing "Twinkle Twinkle little star"(his fave) yes peeps he knows the words.. "Row row your boat" Itsy witsy spider among so many other songs he knows.. my fave was on 09/18/10 when I caught him singing apart of " I am child of God" (lead me- guide me walk- beside me ) My jaw dropped not realizing he had learned the song not to mention he was on key.. Guess he might be able to sing like his Mommy.

Denny hears peeps call me by name all the time so very often he calls me "Dienne!" or Mama Dienne...He knows to call me me mommy or mummy but its just so funny to correct him especially in public.

Denny says bossy like...."Mommy..Gimme a kiss!!!!" Yes sir!lol

Denny sees a lady he fancies an said "Pretty Lady." 19 months and already hitting on women...OI VEY!!

One day we were sitting at a the dinner table with my family and I said to a famished Denny...Okay sweetie it is time to bless the food"-so politely he folds his arms and closes his eyes and after a brief silence he says.."Amen." It was hilarious....A hungry man prayer...
