Its my little man's 2nd birthday!!

TO MY DARLING KENJI:

I can hardly believe two years have gone by since you made your grand entrance into my life. It's seems not too long ago you were still my helpless little darling baby. I can still clearly remember the first time I held you and felt your little heart beat against mine. What joy that brought me! You were such a sweet, fragile little bundle of love. You had this air about you of knowing so much and wanting to share all this knowledge of yours, yet you couldn't.

But look at you now you're all grown up - with a knockout personality, character and all! You've really changed a lot as well as learned so much this past year. I'm amazed with how 'alive' your mind is and how quickly you learn new things. Its so cute to catch you randomly burst out with a new word you've learned!

Some of the highlights of the progress you've made this last year are; walking, leaving diapers, learning so much scholastically, being weaned, understanding both Spanish and English, forming small phrases in both languages, learning about spiritual matters in a more in-depth way then most 2 year-olds do, and lots more.

I'm so proud of you, my love! And while I look forward to watching you grow up even more and learn lots and lots everyday for years to come a part of me wishes you'd always stay my darling little baby boy. I'm really excited about the future and I feel blessed to take part in your upbringing and life. I know that great things await you - my little yet mighty warrior.

Mighty and yet so tender and sweet, thoughtful and kind. I simply love the little hugs you give me whenever you sense I'm in need of a booster. And each time I hear your soft little voice say "Amo mama" coupled with that darling smile of yours I'm reminded of what it's all for and it makes everything and anything above and beyond worth it.

Truly my life has been blessed in many, many ways but the biggest and most special way has definitely been having you in my life. I'm so happy to have you as my son - my life would be pretty dull without you in it. And I'm even more proud to be your mom. I wouldn't change you for the world.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY my darling boy! I pray that this year will be one filled with fun, excitement, and happiness for you. Continue to stay close to Jesus, His Word, and your many spirit helpers. I love you soooooooo much - almost too much!!

Here are some pix of you when you were 1 years old. Just look at that somber, yet lovable, personality! Who can resist such cuteness?
























And here you are at your 2 year old birthday party! You're the sweetest, cutest, and lovable little man! I love you just as you are! Thank you for being my sunshine.

--- YAY! The long awaited b-day pix are finally up! Click on the 4 little arrows to make the slideshow full screen, if you prefer that. You will notice Kenji very dazed/overtired towards the last stretch -present opening- this is due to a fun all afternoon outing which tired him up real well. Good, I'm totally for utter tiredness at bedtime, tee hee! Enjoy! ---



I'm quite pleased with Flickr's slideshows. I can't believe I never tried it before! Oh and today it's my 1 year blogging anniversary! Hooray! 2 cheers for me! :D

P.S. I have some more pix coming soon (as soon as I can squeeze some more "free-time") of the boys adventure to this huge play-place. So check it out again in a couple of days. ;) Love you all and thanks for the presents and b-day wishes!
