Happy Birthday to me!

It was that time of the year again!

Happy Birthday to me.

I had a great day with my two boys.

Ryan surprised me and took the day off to spend time with us.

We had a great breakfast of Caramel Lattes and Pain Chocolate, 

went shopping on Bay St. in Emeryville, 

had a quiet lunch while the baby fell asleep in the stroller,

and even stopped by Ikea...always fun.

Kylah was at school and volleyball practice at usual, 

but she surprised me with a 2lb bag of my favorite...Reese's peanut butter cups.

I am one lucky lady.

They make me the happiest.

Thanks for all the birthday wishes.

He must be getting ready for his bday!

The view was gorgeous as usual and I love looking at the chimes I got.

He fell asleep just in time for us to have a quiet lunch.

Taking a shopping break!

No teen sitter tonight, so we ordered scallops, wedge salad, creme brulle and sticky toffee pudding from the club to go.

He loved it!

My happiness!

My love!

Can't wait for this!

Ikea fun!

XO,

Brenden :: 23 Months

Happy 23 Months my love!

This is a couple of days late, but here it is.

What can I say, he is such a big boy and time went by way too quickly.

He is still a goofball and so very fun to be around,

fun to cuddle with and kiss,

and has more energy than I want him to have...he is such a boy!

 Enjoy!

Stats

28lbs, 2ft 11 inches

 

Favorite Foods

He eats everything....persimmons, grilled cheese, cereal, hamburgers.....but nuts, marshmallows, and whipped cream make him do the happy dance.

Favorite Words

 For some reason he loves to say punch! His vocabulary is growing each month and his new words are ...stuck, help, hungry, watch. He loves to say ant for elephant and no matter how many times we say.. you mean elephant he says yes ant. LOL

 

Favorite Toys

Power tools, starting to play with trains and his remote control police car.

Favorite Activities

He loves to be outside running around getting dirty or hanging out with daddy in the garage...and of course he loves his cartoons.  
 

Least Favorite Activities

Brushing his teeth, I have to pin him down every time. Ugggggh!

 

Signature Moves

He does this happy dance when he eats something delicious! His head rolls ever so slowly, his arms and body do this swaying motion. It's hilarious! Marshmallows and whipped cream get him every time. It's kind of sad to!

Other 23 Month Notables

+ The mullet is gone! He has a big boy haircut and all of his blonde curls have vanished.

+ Still breastfeeding... including at night. 

+He has a strong personality and knows what he wants, but he does get shy when new people come around.

+He can count to 5 all by himself!

+Like Ryan says...he is high maintenance!

 

 

XOXO, Tania

Happy Halloween from Superman

Happy Halloween from Superman!

We went down south for a quick trip this weekend.

My parents got to spend time with the baby,

 Brenden went Trick or Treating for the first time on his own,

and we went to my 20 year High School reunion.

It was lots of fun.

Enjoy!

Super fast Superman!

He loved running around the Camarillo Outlets and didn't care about stopping for candy.

He loved eating grandma's Lumpia for the first time. He ate 2 of them!

Off to my high school reunion with my love!

XOXO, 

Tania
