She's walking!!!

October 23, 2011

@ 7 pm

The day is finally here!! Shaila is now officially WALKING on the move!

 Walking all over the house and in circles she is so excited about it, 

when everyone claps for her she claps too. It was taking her a while because she was afraid to let 

go but now their is no stopping her. I guess im excited and a little sad to see her only getting bigger.

I say that ALL the time but it is the truth, I will always miss her as a baby but I am so happy to see 

her exploring the world as a toddler. 

The first batch

Cake Pops

I FINALLY DID IT!! 
My first batch and I am so happy Sabrina was here to help me out.
They came out real good and I was even able to send some to Shaila's little friends at church.
The cake and rolling process was easy but I really need to buy the chocolate melting machine just so
my chocolate could stay at the right temperature, I hate watching it in the microwave so it will not burn.
We made white and pink ones with sprinkles.
I left some cake out to keep practicing because I might start getting some orders!! YAY!! :) 

Shaila's Birthday Pictures

Our favorite

So we FINALLY were able to take Shaila's 1st birthday pictures this weekend. I am happy to say it was a difficult but successful task for us. With Shaila crawling everywhere and trying to take the camera from the photographer, we really enjoyed seeing her give the camera all of her lovely smiles. Everyday it amazes me how smart she is already, she waves at everyone she sees and she just adores all the attention she gets when we are out. Definitely different than me but I am glad she is so friendly, when she was younger I thought she would be more like me since she looks just like her dad, but no she is ALL him.  She enjoys being around other kids, she forgets i am there if their are kids to play with.

Now that she is trying to walk I notice how much other

All grown up

 kids influence her to try and get out there on her own, but I have to admit I still enjoy the feelings I get when she reaches out for my hand to help her walk around. Shaila already got invited to a birthday party on her own, grandma took her and as you all might guess she LOVED it, they had a pony!! She got to make her own little princess crown (it was a prince party) and play in the playhouse with the other little girls, birthday boy Ethan enjoyed playing with Shai too. After hearing about his party I am already starting to think about Shaila's 2nd birthday, definitely JUST FOR KIDS this time. Well I am happy I finally got these pictures out of the way with school work and the holidays coming up I feel as if I have so many things on my plate to juggle around but these are the moments i enjoy the most just sitting back and seeing how much she enjoys life makes me happy. 

Next creation

Ice cream cake pops

I have been seeing these everywhere online, all the baking blogs or websites

I have come across these cute cakes too many times and now I must try to make them.

They seem semi easy to make..I have to read a little bit more on how I get them to look so cute.

Im better at making cupcakes but this just seems so fun to make..I know Shaila will enjoy watching me make them, and then eventually eating them. So sometime this week I will try to make them and post pictures of either my success or of me failing to get them to look as cute as the ones on this picture. 

wish me luck!! :) 

p.s if i get them to look good i will post the link of the website that helped me so that all 

of you could try this at home too.

goodnight. 

Meet Shaila

My Princess <3

This is my wonderful baby girl, officially a year old now as of September 1st.

I have to admit it was a very hard and emotional time for me, to know that the new born  

I held just a year ago was now a growing, intelligent toddler.

 She is amazing in more ways than one,  everyday is an adventure in her eyes.

 Their is always something new to see and something new to discover, she now says Mama and Dadda, she even knows who Nikki our pup is. She has a huge personality and she is such a happy baby. I am soo deeply in love with this little red head, it's really unbelievable how everyday I fall even more. Yes, we have our bad days but her smile always makes up for the long nights or the throwing food back at my shirt. She makes me..happy. Every love song now has a different meaning because of her, now I look forward to spending days at the park not at the mall. She holds my heart in her hands and  although it makes me sad to see her get bigger and bigger by the minute..it makes me happy to know that she will ALWAYS be mine.
