Saturday Morning

This is what we did for fun Saturday morning: we played outside, took some pictures, Danny had a blast making a mess but hated it when mom discovered what he did and she put all his "toys" away and said "no"... that really made him upset and his new thing is to lay on his tummy when we say "no" and fuss for a little bit. we also went on a walk, read some books, made more messes, Danny made a lot of lion noises, screamed papa pretty much all morning long and my favorite part is when we both went for a nap!

He loves to play outside





BUSTED!

BABY #2 ON THE WAY!

I don't have enough words to explain how happy we are about having another child. We have been so blessed since we got married and this is a BIG blessing for us, to be pregnant again, to give this baby lots of care and love. Danny has changed my life for the better, he has made me a better person, a more patient and loving women, my love for my little guy is so big and so endless I am not sure how i will share that with a new baby, but I am sure that when I have our new baby in my arms I will feel the same love, and I will feel like a more complete person. Daniel is beyond excited about me being pregnant again, I don't even know were to start....his eyes are filled with joy when we talk about it, he even bought a few things for the new baby already...pink stuff I might add, he really wants a girl, and we both do, be would love a baby girl but at the same time we would love to have another boy so him and Danny can have more things in common, but no matter what the sex of the baby will be we will receive this baby with open arms and with a big kiss. When Daniel and I found out I was pregnant again it got me thinking what a miracle it is to be blessed with children, what a miracle it is to hold a human being in my body for 9mo. So far my pregnancy symptoms have been wonderful, I just feel some cramps once in a while and I am a little tired, I love it! when I was pregnant with Danny I always felt sick, we hope that I am able to feel this great throughout the whole thing, I started going to gym before trying to get pregnant again and I have kept it up so far, I go 3 times a week, and by just doing that it gives me more energy through out the day.
We are excited for the summer, for afternoon walks, for playtime at the park with Danny, for picnics, for going to the lake, to wear cute pregnancy clothes, we are specially excited for Daniel to graduate!......and let's not forget....DANNY'S BIRTHDAY NEXT MONTH!! May 31st, the day that Danny was born and brought more joy to our life. Our little guy is not walking on his own quite yet, he has taken a couple of steps by himself like I mentioned last time, I can't believe he will be one year old soon, he already has 8 teeth, a ton of hair, nice chunky muscles, loves to say papa (actually he usually just yells when he says it: PAAAAPAAAAAAA), he got checked a couple days ago and his Iron level is great, he is a very content and loud boy, everybody is always telling me two things: that he is handsome and that he has a very boy deep voice for a baby....I am guessing they say that because he is usually making some kind of loud noise no matter where we are haha.
So here is a picture of me pregnant with Danny.....em I ready to be this big again?...I remember feeling at this point that my belling button was going to pop out.

Yay Danny!

Danny learned his second word today: Mama! of course it made me so happy to hear that word from his little mouth, I love you baby boy!

Danny’s first word: Papá!

Bravo! Danny finally said his first word, before he would just say: wawawa..and then scream WA! In rare occasions he would try to say something with an M, but he has gotten his p's down for a while so I figured we might as well work on the word papá! Daniel had an hour break from work so he came to eat dinner with us, after we got done eating we were all playing on the floor wrestling my big teddy bear that Daniel got me for valentine's when we were dating, anyways so then I said: "Danny di papá"...and sure enough he said it perfectly with the accent on the last pá! and every time I asked him to say it he would look at Daniel and say papá or papapá. By the time we got it on our camera he was way to entertained with the teddy bear to pay us much attention, but on the second video he almost does it like he did it the first couple of times, so we hope you enjoy a short clip of our smart and adorable little son!

How blessed I am to be a mother

I don't have enough words to describe how blessed I am to be a mother. Danny brings so much joy to our home, he has made big changes in me. I love Danny so much, and I wish he wouldn't grow up so fast, I want him to be my baby Danny for ever! and to need me for almost everything. I found a song that says exactly how I feel about Danny:
CONTIGO: MAITE PERRONI
Contigo el cielo se vuelve mas claro, se pintan las nubes de blanco y el sol vuelve a sonrreir. Solo contigo el tiempo cobro un sentido y hoy que estas aqui conmigo.. se bien, mi vida nacio contigo.
Contigo las horas se pasan de largo, tus hojos me llanan de encanto y la luna brilla porti. Solo contigo mis risas tienen sentido y hoy que estas aqui, comingo... se bien, mi vida nacio con tigo.
Y se que tienes un corazon valiente un alma fuerte y se que caminaras sin miedo entre la gente, y se tambien si un mal llega a sorprenderte no temas porque tendras porsiempre...mi amor para protegerte.

One Two Three Steps!

For the last 3 days Danny has taken two steps all by him self, and yesterday he took 3 steps! I don't know if that's consider walking now but he is 9 months and he has already taken a couple of steps. I was really excited seeing him do that because he has been able to walk just fine for the last little while when someone is holding his hands but last week he was really lazy and did not want to walk at all, if we tried to get him to walk he would sit and then flap his arms in the air and then cross them (that was his way of telling us: no way!) So I guess it won't be too long before he can walk! WE ARE SO PROUD OF YOU DANNY!

Summer needs to start soon!

Oh my goodness, Danny and I are going bananas!(crazy- for those who don't know what going bananas mean) The last couple of days have been overwhelming, me not feeling so good, lately I feel yucky and I m not sure why, perhaps a cold, and Danny in the other hand has had it with being inside all the time and he is very bored being here, and the only thing that he still finds enjoyable is sneaking in the bathroom to play with the toilet! so if Danny is not pleased it means that mom has to work extra hard, and if that doesn't work it means Danny and Mom are going bananas! So Daniel and I decided that I would take him to work from now own so I can have the car and go visit friends or run any kind of errands with Danny, just anything that gets us out of the apartment, and it has worked wonders so far! It is way too cold in Idaho to be playing outside, man I cannot wait for the summer, make that a: WE cannot wait for the summer!
Oh and guess what? I called the doctor's office to see if they could check Danny because he has had a cough for a while now, so I tell the nurse: "I need to make an appointment for my son Daniel Hinkson", she says: "oh why? is he sick?"..........um..yeah I'm just calling to hang out with the doctor, not! seriously. So that was my story of dealing with an unintelligent person today, wow, it felt good to vent.

I have the best husband!

Daniel is the sweetest husband ever! After running errands all day on his only day off from work he came home with some beautiful flowers (notice how good he did on picking the flowers) When he got home I greeted him with a hug and with the corner of my eye I spotted the flowers on our kitchen table, without thinking twice I scooted him to the side and ran towards the flowers, well I think you get the point that I was very excited, I love flowers, any day is a good day to receive flowers, specially if it's from the love of my life! My little sister Melanie is visiting for the week so she took some pictures. It's great having her over because she is always playing with Danny and I have had the chance to relax a little bit. What a great aunt!

Finally!

I finally got a good picture of all of his six teeth. I had to do some very embarrasing things to make him laugh long enough to take a good picture but it was worth it.

We are in Colorado!

We have been planning this trip for over a year and we are finally here! So far so good, we are having a great time with Daniel's family and Danny is really getting to know the grandparents better. Here are some pictures of our trip so far, and I am also posting some pictures because I'm sure everybody misses us right?
