Arya's Mom & Nana's Bday

Arya helped celebrate my birthday with Nana, Papa and Ali. Kami, Jamil and Tina will celebrate with us on the weekend due to Tina being sick. They were missed.
Here are a few pictures of us together at our house. Arya helped open the gifts.





We also had fun the day before at the folsom outlets. Here's one with Ali and Arya. We let him walk around more nowadays instead of sitting in the stroller. He is wearing the baby leash however. He likes it :) I love that thing.

19 Months - Let the games begin

Arya has become fascinated with the Ball. In any way shape or form he wants to play with it when he gets the chance. In this video he is playing with his baba some kickball. Maybe a prerequisite for soccer, who knows?



He has also been a bit of a dancer since he started to stand so here's the latest of his routines. Gotta love the Dora song...hehehe



And a snapshot of our little dancer.



With his fascination of glasses, he found this one he liked very much when we went shopping one day. I told him please let me take your picture...and wow, he let me.



And here's Arya and how I put him to sleep every night. A stroll around the house in his stroller holding Winnie the Pooh and Baby Bop.

The last week of 18 months

These past weeks we have been settling into our new place and still unpacking. It will take a while for everything to be put away but when you come in you can't really tell.
We have also been enjoying watching Arya and his daily silly moments while he makes sure we are there to watch.

Here's a recent one of him wrestling with Elmo and staying up way passed his bedtime!


Counting alphabet letters and putting them in a cup


Mom & Dad's 40 year anniversary came on the 18th and took them out to dinner. It was a great night. Although they could have given us more food! :) We came to our house afterwards for tea and hanging out.



Arya and Jamil got to play together a bit too and run around the house.

2010 begins and Arya at 18 months

I can't believe it's really 2010. The start of this year begins with us moving to a new home. My predictions for this year are optimistic.

I truly hope this year brings blessings, health, happiness and love for all of us and I pray that God may give us the strength to face & defeat any difficulties or obstacles that come in our way.

Christmas 2009

This year was Arya's 2nd Christmas and he seemed to enjoy himself playing with Jamil at Uncle Kami & Tina's house. He got some Barney characters, tshirts, and a black leather chair from uncle kami & tina and books and blocks from Nana & Papa. We bought him clothes and utensils but he opened his presents a lot earlier from us.

My little eater

This post is about Arya and his passion for eating. I think he got this one from me. Although Ali loves to eat too, I'm a big BIG eater in a little person's body. I love food - to cook it, smell it, decorate it, and eat it! And as much as I gained in my pregnancy I enjoyed every bite :) heheheh.

The picture above was taken after Ali bought us breakfast and woke up early for the first time! We were all so excited :)



Here are some videos of Arya eating...heheh
