Birthday Weekend

I was in a different place 2 weekends ago, thus the birthday request (solely related to him) to the universe in this post. I didn't really fully understand how lucky I am because I was so into the whole idea of us finally happening (and falling apart, all in less than one week and without him knowing anything...yes, that's possible) until my birthday weekend happened.

Yes, this weekend definitely topped that weekend. This birthday weekend made me realize that whatever it is I lack in attracting quality men, I make up for attracting understanding and supportive friends.

2 Years.

HAPPY 2ND CHRISTIAN BIRTHDAY,

BABY GIRL! ♥♥♥

Mommy loves you so much!

Happy Birthday, Baby!

Hi Honey!

Happy, happy birthday! You're two years old now and I would just like you to know that you are the best thing that happened to my life. I know in a few years you might get disappointed at me - although, I hope you won't - and the decisions I've made but know that all the things I did, I do and I will be doing are all for you.

I hope you grow up to be a good and responsible person who's strong, healthy and loving. I wish you all the best in life and know that I am always here with you, every step of the way.

I love you so much, Baby. Thank you so much for the happiness you've given me and teaching me how to love.

Happy birthday again, Hon!

Love,
Mom

Brianna's 1st birthday in photos.

So, I know posting the 1st birthday photos will be late now but I sure want it to be here for documentation purposes.



Anyway, Brianna had a Justice League-themed birthday party in Shakey's, Quezon Ave. last February 5, 2012. It was a rather small birthday party, just with people who we know we care about and cares about us. We arrived a wee bit earlier just to fix whatever needs to be fixed.

This is me, getting my production coordinator on.

The guests started arriving one by one with the Cuyegkeng family being the early birds. There would have been a prize if I thought of it before the party. Hee. Anyway, it went exactly how a birthday party would have gone, with the clowns and games and the (poorly lit, overpriced) photobooth.

I am pretty sure, though, that the kids had fun with the games and the cape most of the kids didn't want to take off even after the party. For people like us who have friends who mostly don't have children yet, we had a decent number of kids who attended the party.

Kiddies. :)

Brianna, though, kept on crying the whole time. I don't think she likes clowns... No clowns on her next party, then.

"It's my party, I can cry if I want to..."

 So, that's practically what happened in the party...

Bry and I didn't get the chance to thank each and everyone in the party so even if it's weeks late already,  from the bottom of our hearts, thank you all so much for celebrating our baby's party with us and thank you so so much for the pretty gifts.

To the prettiest and smartest wittle baby...

Happy birthday, Honey! :) Mom and Dad love you so much! :)

I want these...

In line with Brianna's first birthday party theme, it would really be awesome if someone got me this:

ZAP Headband, Comic Book, Yellow and Royal Blue

It's only available here. It's only $23 with a shipping fee of $5.50 for the Philippines.

Here's a sneak peak to Brianna's 1st birthday party. ♥

Brianna's Birthday Wishlist

Fine. It's my wishlist for Brianna's birthday. Anyway, here's a list of what we still need for Brianna. Ninongs, ninangs, lolos, lolas, titos and titas, ito na!

1. Highchair - I don't know if we still will be needing one now but there's this high chair in Babyland in Eastwood Mall that caught my eye. Brianna can use it from now until she's 75. It looks heavy duty. There are several ways you can use it and even adults will be able to use it. Those pink Chicco poly high chairs will do, too.
2. Booster seats - If the high chairs are too expensive, a booster seat will do. Pink, please.
3. Portable highchair - If those two are really, really expensive, I would sure appreciate getting this. 
4. Breast pump - Okay, I know this is not for Brianna and I know I have one already but it broke a few weeks ago. So I'll be posting it here, just in case may magmagandang loob. :p Preferred brands are First Years, Pigeon and Avent.
5. Headbands - Her clothes are mostly pink and blue. I like ones from this site, personally.
6. Mickey Mouse drum thing - Ugh, this is so frustrating. I don't know what it's called. I just know that its color is red and blue and it makes drum sounds when you hit it and it lights up, too. Brianna's kinakapatid has one but I don't wanna ask the mom because we're not close. :|
7. iPad - I kid you not! Brianna loves playing with the iPad. If you are generous enough, well, she wants one.
8. Thermos Funtainer Bottle and Food Jar - Hello Kitty, Barbie, Dora the Explorer, Minnie Mouse or Disney Princess design.
9. Toys - Brianna already have a shape sorter, a talking cellphone and that pyramid thing I don't know what is called. I'm not really aware of what toys she should have so if you have something in mind, that'll be great.
10. Books
11. Clothes - Her clothes are mostly pink and blue so some other color will be perfect.
12. Photo company gift certificates - No particular photo company as long as they have branches near Pasig area pero wag naman yung mga Photoline at Kodak.
13. Diapers - EQ or Mamy Poko, sizes L to XL.
14. Cash - If all else fails, this won't.

So, there. I don't think I can add anything anymore to that list. I had to think really hard to even come up with this list. If you think we need something else or something that might be of interest to Brianna that's not in the list, well, you can give that instead. :)
