I have been slacking lately on updating your blog-I have been too busy chasing you around, you little stinker!! It is Friday, so I am off and we are hanging out. You have started to become more affectionate to me and wanting to crawl on me and I must admit I like it...as you are usually fairly independent and just want to play play play and don't have time to snuggle dear old mom!!!
The big news is that Grandma and Grandpa Karimi and Auntie Soni are back from Iran!!! We picked them up at the airport last Sunday and of course they were very excited to see you. You and your pictures were a big hit in Iran. Fortunately due to wonderful technology we were able to facetime twice with Iran so most of them could see you in person. It was pretty special! Your great grandma Karimi has a blown up picture of you in Iran that she talks to on a daily basis. I wish so much she could see you in person, but it would be such a big trip.....one day....Normally I would get lots of presents from Iran from all the family, but this time there were mostly for you!!! You got your first two gold bracelets, a gold lady bug pendant and matching ring! Very precious. You look so cute with your little bracelets on you. The most special gift you got was from you Great Aunt Shireen. She made you a tradiational silk outfit that went with a matching hat. It is difficult to describe in person so I will have to put a picture of it up. It is pretty big on you right now but it will be something you will enjoy and cherish for many years to come. Your Aunt Shireen stayed up almost all night making it for you...You have all this family in Iran that have never met you yet they love you so much! That is the same love they have showed me when I have traveled there. You are so lucky Mayabird to have them in your life, even if they are far away. I hope one day you will be able to meet them....
Right now you are sitting in a cardboard box! You were playing with it so I decided to put you in it and it is definitely keeping you occupied which is allowing me to update your blog, because you continue to BE INTO EVERYTHING. You aren't crawling yet but can scoot anywhere you want and get into anything you want. And you are one quick kid!!!
The weather has been nicer so you have gotten to spend more time outside which is great. We put your little walker outside and you scoot all around the driveway, garage and sidewalks. It is so fun to watch. When grandma is here she attaches a leash to your walker to "lead" and "guide" you, which is hysterical.
You continue to eat like a champ and I am now trying to feed you three times a day. However despite eating a fair amount during the day you still like to get up in the middle of the night to eat.....I just don't have the energy/strength to try to wean you from this habit.
Well I should take a picture of you in your box before you figure out how to crawl out of it!!
Loves you!
