Ada’s 1st (unhappy, but successful) Haircut

Published by on April 9, 2010 | Leave a response

Ada has her first haircut by dad while visiting DC. She had been wearing cloth headbands for the last 2 months, because she couldn’t see through her bangs. Mama wanted to wait until a year old, but wow, did she need a cut!

The before…

Hamid has quick, steady hands, but… the process was hated by Ada.

Its over in 60 seconds. She forgives her dad! Mama’s comments are seen as silly pesterings in hindsight – fear not dear mama! Hamid enters the all star dad hall-of-fame. Doesn’t she look cute? Papa’s victory and loved by his daughter!

A busy morning

Published by on March 28, 2010 | Leave a response

Ada joon is getting very busy.  Lots to discover and unload in each room.  Cruising along the cupboards, taking a step or two  to the kitchen island, crawling into the bathroom, dropping toys into the tub, unloading all the books from her bookshelf, pulling down the towels hanging of the stove, and helping me get her food bowls, cups, and spoons out of the cupboard.  These are her daily jobs.

Here she is helping with the yams and onions.  The busy day of a one year old baby girl.  Hi everyone & good morning.

Ada’s 1st Birthday

Published by on March 15, 2010 | 1 Response

Ada turned 1 on Friday, March 12th, and she had her 1st party on Saturday.   Her neighbors and friends came over, and the main activity was singing (led my her music teacher Chelsea)!  She loved her first carrot cupcake with cream cheese saffron frosting. The day was sunny and beautiful, she was sweet, and we all had a blast.  Here are a few videos of our fun day!  We wish all of you were there too!

Ada loves her new car from Grandma/pa

Published by on March 14, 2010 | Leave a response

Ada received a *special new car* from Grandma and Grandpa for her Birthday.  She loves (!) it.  Pushing it, riding it, beeping buttons, and she puts blocks under its seat.  We had to put it away the first night after she got tired and loopy after sooo many laps around the living room and dining room.  So much fun.

Ada decided to wear bright colors today to match the sun, and we took a long walk down the sidewalk this morning. Enjoying the sites, sounds, and textures on the way. Ada is getting good at pushing her cart! Happy Spring to all of you!
