Arya's First time at Fast Food Place

We decided to take Arya out and enjoy the town Sunday (3/8/09). He's been cooped up at home and not very social so we went to Burger King and he was enjoying watching people come and go, the kids with their parents and events all around. It was a nice day and he had some yummy yogurt and banana. Later we went to Walmart and drove around town. He loved being in the stroller front face now! It's a new adventure for him :)

I wish I had a camera stuck to me

Sometimes Arya does the most amazing things and it's usually when I don't have my camera. I get so wrapped up into him that I don't want to miss it because when I usually go get the camera he doesn't do what I want him to do anymore.
Let me tell you the kinds of things I've been observing.
Rolling - He will grab something that's smooth and slide it from one side of the room to the other. It could be a ball, a flat book or some other toy but he just decides to use it like you would use a board in the water or something.
Dancing - Yes! He's become quite a dancer shaking his tush. I couldn't believe it until every other song he's just doing the grind! hehehehe
Hide and go seek - We play this game whenever he finds something he thinks he can hide on.
Here's a cute one of him dancing. Wonder where he get's it from? :)

Work days with Mommy

So what is a typical day with Arya involve? Well, it depends on the day. If he is with mommy, then after waking up, he is changed and off to eat breakfast

Afterwards he gets ready for watching a nice baby einstein movie while mommy starts work.

Then it's nap time!

More playing while mommy works

Then we are off to Lunch! And some quiet 1 on 1 fun time.
After that is Nap #2
Then playing again, clean up & getting ready for Baba to come home :)



Night time with Baba joon

Then it's Bedtime ! ZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Marjan & Mom's Birthdays

It was my birthday on the 17th and mom's on the 18th and we spent it all together at our new place. It was a fun filled evening. Ali took care of all the food and cake and we had fun opening our gifts. It was a memorable birthday for me since it is the first one with Arya in our lives. My wish (and I know it's something to keep to myself) but I want to say it - and that is for all of those people in our hearts to have the best moments and to cherish every day with the ones they love and be healthy and happy always.

Happy Valentine's Day

Arya got a balloon from his dad for Valentine's day ! I don't have that picture yet but will post it when I do. He's also been very playful and full of excitement these days to stand and tear down the town :)

Here's another funny one (Check out all the other new videos recently uploaded!)

So much going on

Since my last post so much has happened. After moving, there was a problem with getting DSL so we had to wait for that. Long story short we cancelled AT&T and got Comcast cable which set everything up in less than an hour. We are so pleased with everything we got right now. Wish we did it sooner.

Also Arya got really sick a few days ago. And we did too (again). We have been preoccupied with getting things put away and getting him taken care of. Of course work has also hit the busiest it could get for me so no time for blogging or anything else.

Hope all is going well with everyone. Here are a few pics for the time being. :)

Arya Teeth coming in. Here are his bottom ones, top ones also breaking through

Moving

Sorry it's been a while that I've written, but we have been busy moving. It's still in progress and At&t has not been successful in giving us internet so I've been at my parents house back and forth every day so that I can use their ISP and connect online to work. Arya has been a lot better in the carseat lately. He doesn't seem as fussy. I am not sure if it is because of the 2 minute drive as opposed to the 15 minute one or if he's starting to mature a little bit. He is still standing quite a bit and into everything! Can't keep our eyes off him for a minute! Hopefully I will upload some more pictures once we get our internet hooked up. In the mean time, here are a few photos I found from a few months ago of Arya playing with Jamil and Uncle Kami holding him...that you can look at. Happy Friday!
