Aliya's new favorite toy!

Aliya got this awesome toy from the Smallwood Family. She loves it. It is the first toy she has reached out for and put in her mouth! It is perfect for her little hands. Plus today was the first day she rode in her stroller without the car seat attachment. She was so comfy and loved looking around. She helped me shop, she has great taste!

Swimming underwater with my new camera

I went swimming by myself the other day. I got such a great workout and Rob got some great quality time with Aliya! I used my new fun waterproof camera and took some underwater pictures of myself. I know they are goofy but I had so much fun and I am so impressed with my camera! I wanted to try it out!

Pool!!!

Aliya went in the pool for the first time today! The apartment we are living in has a pool right by our place and today we decided to try it out! The water was so warm, she didn't even wince going in or cry coming out because the water was the same temp as the air outside, around 90 degrees! Perfect for a baby's first swim! She did awesome. She never smiled but she also never cried! We kept it short and sweet and had a terrific time! I can't wait to get her back into the water! She is going to be my little fish! P.S. We used our new camera; a Christmas gift from mom! Thanks, mom! It is waterproof and can take pictures and video underwater!!!! It is also freeze and shock proof! A perfect camera with little hands around! I love it! It takes great pictures, don't you think?!

Aunt Debs Birthday!

We all went to Pepin's for Debs birthday. Aliya loves to see her family. She was definitely grandmas girl that night! We had a great dinner and whats a birthday without the customary raspberry elegance cake. We had a great time and I know Aliya hopes all her Aunt Debs Birthday wishes come true!

Aliya is my girl! My munchkin!

Deland

Last week we were home in Deland. I love being home. Mom cooks. Dad depresses me with talk about the economy and then Adam cheers me up by being so care free. We always have fun at home! Aliya slept with Adam one morning and she took up so much of the bed! Adam couldn't believe it! By the time he woke up he was half off the bed, Aliya had taken over! Dad started to teach Aliya geometry, they were reviewing angles of a triangle!

Maa

Maa loves Aliya so much. Aliya is so lucky to have a greatgrandmother!

Smily Smily Girl

I love Aliyas big smiles! These pics were taken at night so the flash

caused her eyes to close. She is so sweet. I love when she smiles. Sometimes I catch her smiling at night in her dreams...thats when I know she is dreaming of me! :) My favorite is when she is in the middle of eating and is looking up at me, she'll stop eating and give me a huge smile. It just melts me. I love the little girl!

Aliya's Great Masis (Aunts)

My Masis (Aunts - Moms sisters) came to visit from Canada. They had so much fun with Aliya! Aliya got so many baby massages and baths from Zarina Masi (below and right pic)! She loved to sit and talk with Roshan Masi (left pic) every morning. Aliya is now babbling away! I love to hear her tell me all about her day. I can't wait till I can actually understand it.

Frowny Face

This face can melt anyone! Too Cute!!

Aliya is so loved!

Aliya is so lucky to have so much family that loves her to pieces! Everyone has fallen head over heels for this little girl and it shows in all their faces. Here are some pics of Aliya with her Grandma, Grandpa Wayne, Aunt Deb, Uncle Sean, Nanimaa, Nanabapa, Maa, Bapa, Adam Mama, Fui, Fua, George Mama, and Noah Mama

Girls Lunch Out

Aliya went to lunch with her mom, aunt deb and grandma the other day. We enjoyed the beautiful ocean views at The Columia Resturant on the pier in St. Pete.

Baby Gym

Aliya was playing in her gym the other day and started talking to her toys and reaching for them. I missed most of it on the video but there is a small part where is is talking that is so cute.

Froggy

Aliya was looking at her toy today for the first time. She even tried to talk to her froggy!

Daddy's Girl

Aliya loves to play with her daddy and misses him while is working during the day! She even makes grumpy faces like her daddy. The best is she can

raise her right eyebrow just like him!
