Happy Birthday Derek

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Derek's Birthday party was a success. I can't believe I am a parent of a 1 year old.
I have to say I was a little nervous about the party and how Derek was going to react to it all, but he did really well.
This day was a great day, and I feel so blessed to have the amazing family I have, and all the friends that came to share in this very special day with us.
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so I will let the pictures do the talking:

They say you are supposed to make a wish, but all my wishes have come true!

His awesome birthday cake!

He was really excited about getting to open his presents.

He really enjoyed his birthday cake


He was even willing to share with his grandpa!

My blessing, I am one proud Mamma.

San Diego, CA Part 2

After a fair nights sleep, I wake up the next day in San Diego, and the moment my feet hit the floor they start screaming at me, oh they HURT. Ricky had to be at his conference early, so I seen him off, and I began to start my day, but I was slow moving. I could not get motivated to get out of the room. Finally I made my way down stairs, and headed to Starbucks for breakfast. After that I hopped on a bus and headed to the San Diego Zoo. Thanks to Google Maps, and my GPS I knew right where I was going and when I needed to get off the bus. It was a lifesaver. How did people travel to a new city before Google maps, LOL. I actually got off the bus a little early, but the weather was wonderful, so I didn't mind it to bad.    Now if you have ever heard of this zoo, you know it is a well known zoo, and it should be, it was great, and HUGE!!! Instead of showing tons of pictures of animals, I will only show a few and move on. I spend al...

The months just keep on passing faster and faster.  Derek is now 20 months old, and let me tell you that is weird to say. He already has a personality of his own, and he knows how to work a room. Give him the spotlight and he will run with it. Cool Kid!!! Here are a few of his accomplishments. He is able to tell you where his mouth, nose, ears, hair, eyes, toes and belly button are. When you ask him where his eyes are, he will blink his eyes at you. When asked about his belly button, he will raise his shirt and show you his belly button. He is still into Barney, and Mother Goose Club. He will go crazy over both of them. We are thinking about having a Barney themed birthday party. Do they still make that stuff? LOL. As far as the sleeping, he is doing really good. Most nights he sleeps all night and on the nights he wakes up, he will turn the soother on and go right back to sleep, with the exception of the past 2 nights, where he has woke up screaming. Last night he ...

My baby is no longer a baby....

Wow I can't believe how much daycare has grown up my little boy.  We knew this time would come, but I didn't know it would come so soon. Each day I see a new change in him. It may be a new word, a new sentence, or the new adventurous side I see in him. He has also be "talking" about the potty, "cause all the other kids are doing it." This weekend we decided to buy him a potty seat.  Of course all he wants to do is play with it! Well I made him wait 20 minutes, then let him "go potty" and after a few grunting noises, he "made potty" in his potty seat! I decided to spare all pictures.  Big moment... At that moment, my baby was no longer a baby. I got a tear in my eye! Now on to pull-ups...
