Spring is in the air!

Hi Maya love,
Even though it is only March 17th it feels like a beautiful spring day. You spent some time outside and loved it. Your Grandma Helen has been here for the last week to watch you since Mary is on vacation and Grandma and Grandpa Karimi (and Auntir Soni) are in Iran. It is has been WONDERFUL! You have had so much fun with your Grandma. You have been going on daily walks and been playing all day with her. We love having her here, and we are so glad that she gets to spend so much time with you. You still aren't crawling forward but have figured out how to crawl backward! It is pretty funny. You have also learned to wave and clap your hands which has been pretty exciting. Grandma Helen taught you how to clap your hands. You keep one hand stationary and then clap the other one against it! It is pretty cute. You are at such a fun stage. You are into everything. Now when I get home from work you give me a really big smile which I love. You are not loving your naps this weekend. Right now you are screeching from your crib because you don't want to nap! This morning I finally resorted to pushing your around the cul de sac in your stroller-i am such a push over-he he! The big problem is that you like to have your pacifier when you sleep so if you wake up and don't have it you start crying (this happens at night). We probably should wean you from it at some point....but I like it and it is a good back up when you get crabby!!!

Your other new thing is that when I put you on your back to change your diaper you scream!!! You would think that I am torturing you!!! So it makes getting you dressed or undressed a little difficult!!! And you don't sit (or lay) still, so that makes it even harder. Oh well.

You continue to eat well and still like your vegetables over fruits! You even like peas. Your dad and I both HATE peas, but I didn't think it was fair to you to with hold them! You eat them like a champ.

Yesterday morning, Grandma and Grandpa Karimi and Aunty Soni Face-Timed us from Iran. So all your relatives from Iran got to see you. It was pretty special. I was so happy to see everyone in person, especially your Great Grandma Karimi. They all thought you were beautiful and were so happy to see you live!!!

We have a walker for you and you love to scoot around the kitchen in it. They are considered dangerous. But I watch you carefully. Since the weather has been so nice I took you outside in it, and you rolled around the driveway and sidewalk in it. You are also starting to try to pull yourself up on things, so I am sure before I know it you will be walking along the furniture.

Love you honey!!!
