I have a two year old

I also have one of the luckiest two year olds, because he had a GINORMOUS birthday party (about 90 people). It was a bubble guppy themed party because the are his favorite.

*pre party*
Thursday, I was running a fever. I was a little in denial, I even went to kohls with my mom that night instead of resting. Friday, I woke up even worse if that's possible. I had to take Tylenol every four hours or my fever would come back. I called the dr and they made me come in because I might have strep (!). Major freaking out so much that I made myself sick to my stomach. Anyways, she said I had a virus which is code for good luck, you may feel better tomorrow or in ten days. Super!

Friday night was bad. I was achy, running a fever, tired, and I couldn't do anything for the party. I downed NyQuil and slept and slept and woke up Saturday morning with only a sore throat!! Awesome!

*party*
We were so so so lucky! The weather was wonderful and tons of people showed up! Gabe didn't nap, but he ran strong with his cousins (after some cuddle time with Karen).






We had two piƱatas, a 2 and a ghost. Gabe loves ghosts "dost" because they are in one of his favorite bubble guppies episodes. The 2 went quickly, but the ghost kept hanging on...




























We were soooooo incredibly lucky that our friend Kim showed up. She took some amazing pictures! I only had three, she took 141! Thanks Kim!!!

I'm gonna post a ton of my favorites.

Our wonderful cake made by Andrea!




Jorge and his ladies....Lynn, Kim, and barb.



Gabe passed out right after cake...he didn't even get a bite before he passed out!



*sunday*








It was a great day, a great party. I'm so glad we could share it with so many friends and family. Thank you to everyone who helped make this day so wonderful!

What?! Gabe is two?!


Well, tomorrow he will be. I'm kinda shocked that two years have flown by. It seems like forever ago that I was pregnant and flying to Hawaii. And now, I'm the very proud parent of a two year old!

***warning!!! Tons and tons of photos!!!**i tried to use different ones, but sorry if you've seen them before***









It's so amazing to see how gabe has changed in the past year. He is becoming quite a little talker. He's always been, um...loud, but now he is actually stringing words together into phrases. He is also repeating almost everything. Last night, I put him in his bed and he immediately climbed right back into ours. I said "fine! Then you sleep by dada." He immediately parroted back, in the same tone, "fine!" It was soooo funny, Jorge and I couldn't stop laughing. We do however, have to stop swearing. I do not want to hear those words come out of his mouth.









Gabe is also recognizing places and people. I mean he has always recognized family, but now he knows when we are on the way to kyles house and that if we go to Costco he gets a hot dog.









Gabe loves to jump. He'd prefer on a couch or trampoline (just not pump it up), but now he's also jumping on the floor all the while saying "jump! Jump! Jump!"









He takes naps on the couch all by himself now. I still sit by him when he's falling asleep. I don't need to hold him anymore. I'm not sad though, because that means he's growing up. We still cuddle plenty at night *trust me*.









We have finally moved off of bubble guppies. Yes, they are his favorite still, but I can finally put on something else and he will sit and watch it. Some other favorites are curious George, the cat in the hat, little einsteins, handy manny (who speaks Spanish!) and sometimes Diego. And finally, we went to the park and gabe didn't go on a single swing! He even climbed up the little ladder!









I wish I had done this kind of post for all of gabes other milestones, but I honestly didn't think of it until now.

To gabe, I love you sooooo much. When nothing else can make me smile, you can. You bring joy to everyone. I love your laugh. I love the way you grab my face at night (but not my hair). I love your sloppy kisses and tight tight hugs. You are an awesome little rocker! I love that trucks and ambulances make you so happy. I'm so glad to have you as my son.

Good intentions


I always have good intentions of blogging over the weekend, but life usually has different plans. I actually put gabe to bed Friday night and Sunday night. I mostly blog at night, but I cannot do it in bed with G, because then its HIS eeyeepaaad (iPad)

This morning I felt like total shit. I haven't felt this bad in years. I've had bad headaches, been hung over, but this sucked. I started a new kind of birth control and wouldn't you know, I'm the one who gets all of the side effects...nausea, vomiting, severe headache...yuck! I'm not taking this pill tonight, no way! Gabe had a great day full of cartoons and hugs for his sick mama.





Yesterday was a really fun day though. We (me, Sidney, Cristina, and jasmin) made cake pops for gabes birthday party this Saturday. It was a little slow going to start because the chocolate wouldn't melt right, but then we got better. I'm not sure the pops got better looking though.
