Diego's 1st Birthday

Hit the arrow to see Diego enjoying his birthday cupcake!

I know it's been awhile but life has been extra busy at the "Cota" house especially celebrating birthday's for Big Ed and Diego.

Another reason we have been so busy is that my parent's were gone traveling the country for 39 days. Me and Big Ed had to adjust to picking Diego and lil' Ed up after school and getting Ed to soccer practic, since my parent's usually do this every day. They totally deserved the trip, but were gone longer than I liked, and we are so grateful that they are HOME.

The next important thing is that the boys got "dedicated" at our church on Sunday the 19th. I will add more pictures soon.

Below are pictures from his birthday BBQ celebration. We had a wonderful time although we missed Daddy's nieces and nephews and both of his sisters. We were blessed to have family and friends enjoy a nice Sunday afternoon with us. It was especially nice to have Buelo (Big Ed's mom) come along with Eddie's Tio Ruben and family and his cousin Dawn and her family, especially since they drove from the valley.

Diego loves hula hoops and that is what he got from Grams and Gramps.
Me and my big boy!

I loved this pictures because Diego has this look wondering what is all this about!



Here is his very own 1st birthday cake.

He enjoyed us all singing "happy birthday" too him especially having big brother by his side.

Here he is, on his actual birthday, enjoying his cupcake that mommy baked. We enjoyed his special evening with just the four of us which made it extra special!

As mentioned above we celebrated Daddy's 32 birthday on the 7th and enjoyed dinner at home and he got to watch the final presidential debate, which is what he wanted to do on his birthday!

OBAMA 08 for our house!!!

Diego's 1st Gymnastics

This is my morning! Also notice the red kitchen tool in his right hand. Always into something! So even though Diego is still coughing like crazy and up all night we decided Saturday morning we were going to try out gymnastics for our little guy. The night before he was walking backwards and laughing and then you tell him "to spin" and he spins in circles so we decided we would try a class. The class was for kids walking to 3 years of age. Diego was of course the youngest and the other 5 kids were at least 3. I would have to say Diego and another girl Justis were probably the only ones that followed directions-amazing for a 12 month old huh! Below was a long trampoline which he loved. He got to do this more then once and each time he would run faster and faster!
In this room he was able to do an obstacle course which he enjoyed. Here he had to jump over the scary spiders.
We found out during WOW parent weekend that Diego loves hula hoops. He managed to walk all over the UU plaza with the DJ's hula hoop. In class the hula hoop was suppose to be Diego's car and he had to GO on green and STOP on red, he loved driving his car! Although Tia Jackie needs to work with him about red lights since he ran a few :)
Jump Diego Jump!
