I'll never be the same

      I can't believe it's been three months since my last post. I feel like everything is the same with my hubby and I, but Aamira has changed so much. So many firsts; first crawl at Maci's house, first trip, first time in the pool. I fall in love with this kid more and more each day, and I think she feels the same about me (I know she does husband, stop being jealous).

Surprise visit from you and daddy on our five year wedding anniversary.

First drive with Mr Kermit the Frog

     Aamira's personality has changed so much, she has super crazy temper tantrums which start by grunting, then shaking, then turning RED. She knows that I go upstairs everyday after work to change, so now she pushes herself to climb the stairs while I am holding her. I have to let her go so she can race her little bum up the steps.

      I always have her come to the bathroom with me so she could watch me brush (trying to instill those good habits in her now), then she watches me floss while she holds the floss container (her favorite thing to do). I decided to buy her a toothbrush so she could start practicing...bad idea. All she did was shake it in her hand and let it fall on the floor or the sink. Finally she learned to put the darn thing in her mouth, but at that point I was so grossed out with the brush that I had to throw it away.

Gotta wait to have teeth for your next toothbrush booboos.

First time wearing a suit....and yes I changed her bow to match later on.

Neelam Maci's reception

      I celebrated my first Mother's Day thanks to my baby. Aman (my hubby) took us out for brunch in Napa, and then to Barnes and Noble. I remember my sisters and I would take my brother to B&N to let him play with the train set, he enjoys seeing the trains even today! Aamira loved playing there just like her Mamu. I bought her two books so I could read them to her every night.

I love your smile

I could stare at this picture all day :)

First time playing "mattress world" with your cousins.

     We took Aamira on her first trip in May for my sister-in-laws wedding. I was worried about how Aamira would react to being on an airplane, she knocked out right when the plane took off (different story on the way back). We were so busy with wedding events and taking Aamira to the pool that the three days just  flew by. Aman abandoned me (he went to get a beer haha) and Aamira in the lazy river at MGM and we were getting attacked by drunk people. Random people were touching her hands and cheeks and I was getting anxiety. I knew the lazy river was a bad idea...never going in there again with the baby (sorry Aman).

First flight---to Vegas

Ready for her first swim

Took an hour nap after this

ROARRRR

First time in her big girl stroller at the Livermore outlets.

      Between working two jobs, attending family events, and date nights with the hubby, I try to spend every moment with my baby girl. I feel like it took me 30 minutes to turn 30, and 10 seconds for Aamira to turn 10 months.

No Didi, she's not playing Call of Duty :)

Grocery shopping while waiting for Mamu at Kumon

     I went shopping in Walnut creek with the fam bam on Friday. What a bad idea it was to take three kids with us! On the way there we were fantasizing about having a baby-sitter while we shopped, we named the sitter Tinku. Tinku would feed the kids, entertain them while we shopped, and hold all of our shopping bags. By the end of the trip we realized that we turned our brother into Tinku! Sorry Sukhman, we love you!!! :) I really don't know how he has the patience to have THREE older sisters, and FOUR little nieces. I know many people don't appreciate him since he is 'lazy' and doesn't 'listen,' but for a thirteen year old, I think he is a DAMN good kid(just ignore me when I yell at you)!!!!

The loves of my life, just missing little Samirra, Maci will miss you when you leave :(.
