It is sometimes shocking for parents to see how much their children grow up in a short span of time.

And last October 18, Vanessa Matsunaga's son, David, celebrated his 2nd birthday.

Vanessa, sister of Brapanese model-actor Daniel Matsunaga, took to Instagram to greet her “little lion” on his special day.

The celebrity mom posted, “Happy birthday my little mane man! We are very proud of you. You are so brave, funny, full of energy and enthusiasm you truly turn simple moments into memorable experiences. Mommy loves you so much and is very thankful for you.

Vanessa adds that David is an answered prayer, too.

“Always remember that you are an answered prayer and that to me, you will always be my little baby boy. Now that you are becoming your own person, our days are even more filled with joy and laughter.

“You are so interesting and I thank God for gifting me with such a fun spirited kid. Happy birthday David, the Lion!”

David's birthday was very successful 😊 he loved the balloons, the big shark, his cakes, his new toys and the love every one gave him! I have always enjoyed diy projects, but I gotta say that it's even more fun and meaningful when doing for my kids! We have inflated so many balloons that my finger have blisters now lol but totally worth it! Thank you everyone for all the love and prayers you sent to David! Love you all! 💙

Vanessa tied the knot with Jun in November 2010, at the Bellarroca Island Resort and Spa in Marinduque.

She then gave birth to her daughter Bella on March 11, 2016 and two years later they welcomed her baby boy David.
