1st of too many birthdays :-)

Most mom's would say "I can't believe it has been a year already, where did the time go"?? Well I have to say that I am not one of them. I had such a wonderful time spending every minute of the last year with Ariana that I almost remember every single day of it. Not every night and day was easy, maybe that's why I remember the details :-))) Just kidding, it has been a great year being a mom to two angles which makes me think if I had the time and the money I would maybe think about number 3!!!! LOL, never ever again.
Anyways, last night we celebrated her first birthday with her close friends or friends to be, most of them boyfriends to be :-) It was fun to have 11 kids over. It made me wonder if I could ever be a toddler room teacher. The answer is "NOWAY"
Ariana did ok, she was confused a little but she really enjoyed her favorite part which was the cake. She did not go for the icing, she went for the toy. Still, made some wonderful pictures to remember the night forever.

Enjoy the memories:

first steps

Ariana started taking her first steps yesterday July 2nd at 11 months + 11 days. She also started clapping her hands, I know it was kind of late for that action, that's why I am so excited.She also went to the pool today for the first time, did not like it at all, maybe because the water was too cold for naz nazi khanoom. We will keep trying, hopefully someday she will like it.

She will be one in less than 3 weeks, we are having a B-Day party for her with some of her baby friends. It will interesting to see and capture her reaction to the cake and the presents. wait for some cool pictures in the next post. For now enjoy these:
