My birthday party :: Mi fiestita de cumple ;)

Hello!!

Puedo caminar!!! :) Bueeeeno, casi casi, en realidad ya di mis primeros pasos, entre el fin de semana y ayer he comenzado a caminar, di mis primeros pasos en Chicago el domingo y desde entonces estoy tratando, ayer y hoy he tratado de caminar por todos lados, doy a veces unos 5 o 6 pasos y luego me caigo, otras esos pasitos son suficientes para ir de un lugar a otro, pero igual, cuando me caigo me levanto y sigo y lo hago caminando!! Ya no quiero gatear, solo quiero caminar!!!! Estoy super emocionada y aqui van unas fotos, pero como mi Mami siempre tarda con la camara, solo una me tomo en medio de mi caminata... :)

I can walk!!! :) Well, sort of, the real thing is that I already gave my first steps las weekend, and between then and yesterday I have been walking, I started with the very first ones in Chicago last Sunday and since then I just want to walk, yesterday and today I've been better, I try to walk everywhere, sometimes I fall after 5 or 6 steps, but sometimes I just manage to go from one side to another and don't fall! Even if I fall I just get up and continue.. walking!! I don't want to crawl, I just want to walk!!!! I am very excited and here are few pictures, but since my Mom is a bit slow getting the camera ready, she just got one picture of me while walking ;P

HAPPY BIRTHDAY :: FELIZ CUMPLE!!

Hoy es el cumple de mi Tia Nahid y de mi Mami!! Mi Tia Ruhiyyih le hizo una torta a mi Mami y despues de la cena le cantamos y ella soplo las velitas! Estaba yo encantada con las velas y se que pronto tendre mi propia torta y velitas para mi solita!!!!

Today is my Aunt Nahid and my Mommy's birthday!!! Aunt Ruhiyyih made a cake for her and after dinner we sang and had Mommy blew candles! I was fascinated about the candles, and I know I will have my own cake and candles soon!!!!

I am so BIG :: Estoy tan GRANDE!

The other day my Mom brought up the swing for my friend Bera to use it while we were eating lunch, and I remembered it! I wanted to try it, so here are a couple of pictures of me in it, oh my Gosh! I am so BIG!! I fitted, but since I can move and bounce the swing was not going to hold me too long, so that was it, I had to come out. I remember I really liked it, oh! here my Mommy found a picture of me when I was two weeks in this very same swing!!!

Cooking with Mom :: Cocinando con mi Mami

Cuando mi Mami cocina a mi me gusta tambien hacerlo, asi que yo me pongo a cocinar, pero no sobre la hornilla pues es muy caliente, fu, fu, fu!
Me gusta poner ingredientes en mis peroles y batir, batir, batir! A veces tengo que oler y otras degustar para ir viendo que le falta a mi comidita. Cuando quieran pueden venir a que les sirva un rico plato calientito!!!

::

When my Mom cooks I would also like to do so, and that is how I also cook, but not over the burner, that is hot, fu, fu, fu!
I like to add the ingredients in the pots and stir, stir, stir! Sometimes I have to smell or taste to see what is missing in my yummy food. Any time you want you could come and enjoy a good warm meal prepared by me!!!!

Helping my Mommy!!

My friend McKenna :)

Mi friend McKenna came to Cedar Rapids to visit her Grandma Jan, and I had the chance to play with her one morning before she got too busy with her parents and their plans in Iowa. She is from Colorado, and she is already walking! So I had a lot to learn from her, I really observed what she did and tried to immitate her ;)

Mi amiguita McKenna vino a Cedar Rapids para visitar a su Abuelita Jan, asi fue que pude pasar una mañana jugando con ella antes de que con sus padres se ocupe en otras cosas por aqui en Iowa. Ella viene de Colorado y ya esta caminado! Como veran tengo bastante que aprender de ella y por ello observe lo que hacia con mucho detenimiento y trate de imitarla en todo ;)
