My first steps!!!

05/25/2010
Today Arya took her first steps. She was standing by the back door and suddenly we see out of the corner of our eyes that she is walking. We quickly pull out the video camera and record a few of her steps. Jessica and I were screaming so loud that Arya gave us the look "what in the world is wrong with you guys???"

Yeahhhh she took her first steps... Hopefully not long before she walks a few more steps..

I love to dance!!!

5/21/2010
Forgot to mention in my last post that Arya has been dancing to music videos.. A few of her favorites are
Gummy Bear Song
Nuki Nuki Nuki
Britney Spears - Baby One more time
Miley Cyrus - Hoedown Throwdown
Insync - Bye Bye Bye
....
and lots more. Will have to find a good dance school for her as soon as she can join one.

Flying Kisses - Mini steps

05/21/2010
Last few days have been pretty eventful. Between Arya not sleeping through the night and trying to take mini mini steps on her own and learning to send flying kisses - need I say we havent gotten much sleep. It also looks like she is getting at least one of her canines... poor thing is not happy. Probably why she hasnt been sleeping much. Over the past 8-10 days, she has pretty much been sleeping in our bed the whole night or should I say, doing acrobatics on our bed through the night. Not sure why but she has been very restless. Her favorite thing seems to be to get up turn her back to me and then flop down on my face :) I am sure she has fun, cant say the same about me.

Today (5/21/2010) she actually gave flying kisses as she was going for her nap.. aaaawwww.
Yesterday (5/20/2010) she took a mini mini step.

Although everyone keeps saying that I should enjoy the time before she starts walking, I really want her to walk so she can explore more and do more things.

Although my co-workers and other friends keep telling me that I need to let her cry it out to get herself to sleep at night - how can I? She is my little baby and if she needs me I will be there no matter what the cost is. Few sleepless nights is the least I can do for my little angel who has brought so much joy to our life. We just bought her a bunk bed - maybe she will like to sleep in a bed instead of a crib. She doesnt seem to like her crib much. We are hoping that we can transition her to her room once she gets used to her bed... Wish us luck..

More later - right now I need to go have some coffee before I fall asleep on my chair.

Clap Clap - I love the pool

05/05/2010
Today Arya started clapping right after she got in her kiddie pool that her Aunt Reese gave her for her first birthday. Jessica filled it up with water and then put Arya in one of her many bathing suits and then it was so much fun watching Arya splash around water in her kiddie pool in the back yard.

After when she had her snack, she was very excited - looked at Jessica clapping and she started clapping as well...

Here mommy have a bite of my dinner!

05/04/2010

While having her dinner of pasta and vegetables, Arya was getting a little fussy and didnt want to eat any more. I tried to entertain her by asking her if I could have a bite. She picked up one of the pasta and put it in my mouth. Then she started putting vegetables in my mouth....

My 12 month baby girl is feeding me :)

911 - Help mommy is trying to get me to sleep!

05/04/2010
Yes, Arya called 911 from my locked cell phone when I was trying to get her to sleep in the evening. Even though I managed to hang up the call - it was too late. I got a call back from the 911 center asking about a 911 Hangup call from my cell #.... No more cell phones for her to play with...
