Dylan's 3rd birthday-2nd cake

Here is his 2nd birthday cake that we celebrate here at our home at Cabanatuan City. Very simple and private. But he really enjoy his 2nd celebration and he was so excited to blow his candle and get his toy. Speaking of the toy, Ironman was so so out of season and I don't have time to look for it at the mall. So I looked for it at cheap toy stores in our public market and lucky me I found the only one Ironman toy which I only bought for 10 pesos. And his happiness is very priceless

Dylan's 3rd birthday-1st cake

Two days before Dylan's 3rd birthday, we go home to daddy's hometown- Bunol Guimba, Nueva Ecija. I assume that my father-in-law misses his grandson so much that he insists that Dylan will celebrate his birthday at their house. They catch some ducks at their backyard and cooked an Adobo dish. I buy 3 kilos of spaghetti, Italian with a touch of pinoy style with lots of hotdog. I also prepare Leche flan which I will post later for the recipe (which includes egg white). I also cooked Chicken Tiim- 3 whole chicken. And of course, 3-3 liters of Ice cream (all in 9 liters). Dylan enjoyed his birthday, but I compared it to his birthday celebration here at home (with the second cake) I think he enjoyed more here. Maybe it's because of his birthday cake wish- which is Ironman.

McDo at SG got big serving

Dylan loves fries, so he was so excited when he saw the big servings.

Posing on the camera first, ow he's really hungry now. He said, "Wow! Mommy, daddy Mcdo big!"

Dylan meets his favorite!

Wow! That's what he said when he saw his favorite chocolate. And mommy too! Reese's has been our favorite since then, and of course Dylan got our sweet tooth when it comes to Reese's. We just can't resist its creamy chocolate with a twist of peanut butter. I love the miniatures. The white ones, we forgot to try some. The Hershey store in this picture is located at Sentosa, Singapore near Universal Studios.

No diaper, mommy!

He is really not into diapers anymore. Whenever we asked him to put on diaper, he will refuse it but we will explain that he has to wear it because we are traveling so far. He's been trained for 2 months now, in the first, second and third day he can't still resist to pee on his sleep wear. I got the chance to motivate him, I said to him that if he pees, his gorgeous brief will be wet so as our bedding. I think it worked! For the record, we saved a lot and he matures a lot!

What's for Dylan's birthday?

Sunday is almost here, a very special day for my son. He is turning 3 and he requests for Iron Man for his birthday cake-hope I can find some stuff and balloons for his birthday. This year, we don't have any visitors for his birthday-just me and daddy. We are in the middle of budget cutting so we'll just spend it in our house-new home actually. So I am thinking of Lasagna or Alfredo sauce for our pasta, hmm..I think Alfredo will invade my kitchen. I am so missing grated Parmesan cheese and of course we will add veggie pizza on our menu. I'll ask him later what he wants for his birthday, I'm pretty sure Iron Man works for him well.

We misses you Chacha

Chacha is Dylan's dog, but due to his asthma we have to give Chacha away. So every time we go home to my in-laws, Dylan got the chance to see him again and he really misses him. For our surprise, she was pregnant. We are planning to get her this summer after she gave birth and also her children. In our new home, we think that there is somethings missing- of course a dog. And we are all excited to welcome Chacha again!

Dylan is working his muscles out

After seeing tita Tal's abs builder, Dylan fancies it and give it a try. Hahaha, we all laugh our heart out! He really wants to have that muscles, maybe to punch his daddy whenever daddy doesn't pay attention, just kidding daddy!

Crying for more chips

It's his first time to eat a potato chips, at age 2 we don't usually allow him to eat junk foods. After we eat the potato chips, he is asking for more and crying a lot but then I told him that it is not good for his age to have more. As if he understand it well, he stop crying and we just play with his new toys I brought from Singapore. I also told him that Daddy bought it for him then he asked "where is daddy?" And he said, "let's go to Singapore, ride an airplane". Ow, he is really a grown up now, I think he became mature when we left him. I promised him that we will be going to Singapore before New year. We really missed daddy, so many crying nights for mommy.

Dylan's first edition of pictorial

There is no perfect picture but capturing a most blessed moments turned out to be perfect! Our baby's growing stages were really captive and we always want to put in on a better memories like pictures and videos. Although we want that to happen but sometimes we can't so just take cute moments whenever our cameras are at hand. I have a lot of cute pictures of Dylan that turned out to be perfect for me! This is is really cute, he looks like a handsome model posting for a billboard! Just some random pictures that we got, he is so in love with taking pictures and posting on camera especially when his mommy ninang took her professional digicam. He really post a lot and projects perfectly, also photogenic at most times!

Here comes again..the pianists

So as a follow up of my recent post, here is a picture of Dylan playing his piano. He really loves his toy, bought it for 1700 at a local mall here in our town. Though it is a little bit expensive, but still it can help him excel his talents and interests. So this piano has a different choices of tones like organ, piano, guitar, drums and you can choose whatever you want. It also has recorded nursery rhymes and has a microphone on it- which of course one of his favorites. So I love to see him when he plays it because it really shows how he loves music. Hope this will go farther and he will really had the hunger for music.

Encourage them to be their best!

Dylan is a very passionate baby when it comes to music. He loves to play his kuya's (cousin kieth) guitar and sing with it. He always shows interests in music and musical instruments. Hubby and I were not good at singing- but my mom is a choir member on her early days and hubby's dad is a videoke master. So we conclude that it runs in the genes, though it passes on us but music don't work on ours, hehe. It's just Dylan who has it in his genes. Whenever he hears a song or hears someone singing, he really shows interests and join them singing or dance with the melody. He is also interest in dancing, esp dance number in showtime (a show in tv). He even knows the songs in commercials and of course he is very interest whenever he sees our church pianist do his mastering. Even hubby and I doesn't have the talent, we want him to be developed as a music lover and we planned late this year or early next year to enroll him in a music school. After all it is really worth the money and effort we spend on his talent and encouragement is the best thing we can do.
