1st Birthday Memories

We picked up EJ from daycare today and he was such a happy little boy. Ms. Ella (his primary daycare provider) decorated her house with birthday stuff and sent EJ home with a "birthday cupcake". EJ fell in love. He's still really picky when it comes to table food- however, that logic went out the window when we placed that cupcake O' sugary goodness in front of him.

Happy Birthday EJ

Happy Birthday my son. Mama loves you very much.

Here's a poem in memory of your 1st year:

When you were born
It was your cry I first heard
On a warm sunny day
It was April the third

You are a prefect little boy
Chubby Little thighs
So personable, and oh,
Those great big blue eyes

One year later
It came too fast
These moments I'll remember
Forever they must last

Happy Birthday to you
God bless you my son
I'll love you forever
My heart you have won

I Yuv My Baf Time

Long Time No Eeeej! :-P

Some pictures for everyone to enjoy. Everyone is doing well at the Dee household. I've sent out the invitations for EJ's first birthday party and I have to say that I am quite excited about the whole thing. He is doing well really lately and has got ALOT of teeth. He's finally not a little vampire baby anymore. Those top two teeth finally decided to come in. Yay! Daycare is going well. He plays outside regularly- so much that they had me bring in shoes, a hat, and sunscreen for him. Hahaha. Apparently he loves to play outside. I know he likes to BE outside, but we don't really have a good "play" backyard- so I didn't know that he enjoyed "playing" outside.

I'm going to be taking him in for his one year appointment sometime within the next few weeks and we'll have him weighed there, but I'm sure he weighs at least 30lbs. He's very healthy. He's eating solids alot more regularly and is actually weaning himself off of formula. We bought him his first 1/2 gallon of WHOLE milk the other day. I haven't given any to him yet, but I probably will within the next few days. He really enjoys his teething biscuits lately and eats the whole thing. Most of the time he gags as he eats the end part of it, but eventually he gets the whole thing down. I'm pretty sure he's got some sort of texture obsession going on. He doesn't like things that have "weird" textures. Especially his food. It's definitely going to be interesting getting this kid into regular food. He does like instant Cinnamon Roll flavored oatmeal and chopped up "nanners" (bananas). No steak and potatoes yet.

We had portraits taken a couple weeks ago and in a few days I'll post 'em up on here for everyone. I just don't have time to scan them all up on here and do it now. But I promise, they'll get up here one day. Hahahaha. I might include my log in name and password for the JC Penny's that took them too- that way anyone who wants can go on the website and order prints for themselves if they'd like. Let me know what ya'll think.

See ya!

For Gwammy!

EJ IS GETTING SO BIG. HE NOW HAS 5 TEETH AND IS WAVING HELLO AND GOODBYE AND WILL SHAKE HIS HEAD NO AT THINGS HE DOESN'T WANT. HE IS SO SPECIAL TO ME AND I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT GOD BLESSED ME WITH THIS PERFECT LITTLE GIFT. EVERYDAY I LEARN MORE AND MORE HOW BEING A MOM IS THE MOST REWARDING EXPERIENCE ON THE PLANET.

We went to Grammy's house this weekend and she had this tupperware dish on the ground and EJ played and played and played and played with her. She is amazing. She seriously got on the floor and crawled around and chased him and stuff. I don't even have the energy for that. Hahaha. She calls it her EJ fix. I love it.

We also went over to the Inlaws this weekend. That was fun too. Anna is getting so big. Funny though, that EJ weighs over half what she does. Lord he's a big kid. He did pretty well there except for he is finally getting clingy. I remember being pregnant and thinking that I wanted my child to love me so much that he only wanted ME to hold him- and it's finally happening. Hahaha. He did okay with the dogs and everything. We just gave him his usual dose of Claritin and he seemed alright. Slept like a rock. I think we are all going to try and go to the Renn Fest. That should be interesting. I might see if Grammy wants to watch little man- don't know if I'm ready to take him to an all day thing like that. He just gets so tired and then I get stressed out- which equals no fun for anyone. But I guess we'll see.

Dad and Gerri are coming into town on Wednesday night. I'm very excited to see Gerri and I think I'm gonna buy her flowers or something. I just want to give her a big hug and let her know that I'm here for her if she needs anything. I hope that they will be staying with us again. I had such a good time last time and I'd love for us to have that again. Oh God, I'm so excited. Dad will crap his pants when he sees how big EJ has gotten. PaPaw loves Mr. Eeeej.... but you know who Mr. Eeeej really likes??? Gerri!!!!! <<<<<33333333

Can't wait to see 'em all!!

10 months old tomorrow.

It's February 2nd and a beautiful day in Arizona. Tomorrow is the Superbowl, which is indeed happening at the University of Phoenix Stadium which is located approximately 5 miles from my home. But the best part is- I get to spend it with my men. Of course, John and I have our rough times, but there is no denying that he is in fact the best father in the world and I am so proud to call him my husband.

In this post you will find a couple picture of EJ with some bruises on him. Here's the deal. A little girl at daycare pretty much attacked him- and needless to say, that little girl- well, she is no longer at the facility. She was only 18 months old... however- I refuse to put EJ into a harmful environment. I love my little man way too much for that. The "attack" took place on a Thursday, so my wonderful hubby took Friday off to stay home with the little man, as he was a little shook up from the whole ordeal. Poor guy. But I thank God all the time that John is the man that he is and will do what he knows is right for our son. Like I said, he is the best father our there.

Grammy and I took EJ to the park today- and it's days like this that remind me of what an amazing mother I have. I'm so glad that there is no one in the world that I would rather have guiding me through motherhood than my mom. She is my inspiration. I become more and more appreciative of everything she has ever done for me, everyday. I love you mom- more than words.

Anyhow- enough sappys. Here's the goods:
