This is really exciting and at the same time making me nervous! I want everything to go smoothly and as planned  on that day but as we all know something always comes up on the actual event! Oh well, i just hope I’ll be open-minded enough to foresee the untoward incidents that might happen and be prepared for them.

Nico’s Mickey Mouse giveaways came a week ago. it has been delivered by cartoon.city — new friend from Ebay Philippines. I was so satisfied with our transaction — speedy and smooth shipping, hassle-free communication and great items in a variety of colors and shapes in affordable prices! See? Nico loves them! I’m sure the kids will like Nico’s giveaways too, Nico’s practically drooling over them LOL!

So what are these items by the way? I have Coloring books, Writing and coloring activity books, Jigsaw puzzles, Sticker Books, Mini Puzzles, Kiddie Wallets, Pencils, 24 Pieces Art Sets, Colored Pencils and School Kits all in colorful Mickey Mouse and Friends designs!

I guess I have everything covered. I already reserved the clown/magician who will host the party, the Mickey Mouse mascot who will dance :), the Mickey Mouse cake that will be especially made for that event by Emily, some of the invitations were sent out, which I made myself, the tarpaulin was printed, which I designed myself, I also purchased a chocolate fountain (just a small one), negotiated with the ice cream maker (softy ice cream), photographer and the videoman (which are very important so that Mark will get to share with the celebration), as well as the tables and chairs rentals (and the balloons too!). I also bought Mickey Mouse paper plates and utensils, and party hats as well as the prizes for all the games and the decorations. Well, I’m yet to buy the ingredients for the food though

Ahhhh! 9 more days! And I think I look like a mess! I wonder if I’ll ever manage to look good on my angel’s special day? Yeah right! Whatever!

Nicholas turned 11 months this morning. Just 30 more days and we will be celebrating his first birthday. Oh boy! I am excited but I’m also worried I may not be able to accomplish all my plans. It’s tough to be a single Mom huh!

Anyways, I am trying my best to give my little angel what he deserves — and he deserves the best. But I will post about my plans and what I’ve accomplished so far for my baby boy’s birthday on my next post. For now, I would like to discuss my angel’s milestones.

So after 11 months, Nicholas is already 28 inches (71.1 centimeters) tall, weighs 22.48 pounds (10.2 kilograms), has got 4 teeth, walking fast with one hand supported, walking 2-4 steps on his own, standing 5-10 seconds without support, saying “Mam” (mommy), “mal” (milk), “cat”, “tar” (car), “ber” (bird), “boh” (ball), “ter” (water) “baba” (Filipino for “going down”), “atyat” (akyat, Filipino for “going up”), knows (and loves!) “pasyal” (Filipino for strolling), knows and recognizes his toys by pointing at them when Mommy asks for each (there’s Mickey Mouse, Brownie, the musical toy given by Uncle Mark, and many more). He’s also remembering stuff he likes. One is the sound of the ice cream man. Well, my officemate once bought him ice cream from the ice cream man so everytime he hears the ice cream man’s music, he gets excited and points at the door with all smiles, hehehe.

Ahhh.. So much have happened in 11 months time. I never thought parenting can be both energy-consuming and energy-boosting I’m proud of my Nicholas’ milestones though other babies may have more teeth or more words or more growth, still, my little angel is one of the two best thing that ever happened to me.

My boys happily playing with each other, sgh... they look good together, a happy father and son :)

Hey! A month more and we will be celebrating his birthday! Oh boy! I’ll be busy as a bee! Oh gosh! I’m excited for my little darling!

Yey! I’m almost one year old! In fact, I’ll be celebrating my 10th month tomorrow! Hurrah! I’m so excited! My Mom’s excited as well, and she has been thinking about my party She said I will have the best party I can get because I deserve it Mommy loves me so much…

Mom’s gonna invite all my friends and cousins, as well as every relative who wants to celebrate this special day with us. I really have to practice my walking these days, I wanna run and play and participate on games on my own birthday! Mommy said I’ll have a clown who can do magic tricks, oh wow! I can’t wait to see those! And Mommy’s gonna make it look like a Disney party with Disney characters like little princes and princesses (my girl cousins will love this, hihihi). Of course I’ll be Mickey Mouse, I am Disney’s Master and all those characters are my subjects hahaha!

Oh boy! just 2 months left! I have to practice blowing my cake’s candle too! And wow! Mom said she’ll prepare lots of ice cream and finger foods (hmmmm, I wonder if I can eat it with a spoon… hey! I’m practicing my spoon power!). There will be balloons too! Great! Great! Great! I’m really excited!
