Kian-10 months

My little big guy is 10 months old. He has accomplished a lot in the last month. He says mama and dada pretty well now and at the right times...when he wants attention of course. He says hi and waves his little hand at people. This is the cutest thing I have seen him do. For the big milestone...he is walking! I can not believe my 10 month old is walking! He started right around the day he turned 10 months. He has gotten pretty good over the last 2 weeks and chooses to walk most of the time rather than crawl. I weighed him yesterday and he weighs 26lbs. I think that is big but we will check him out at his 1yr well check in about a month and a half. He is wearing 24 month clothes and I just moved him to a size 5 diaper. I can't complain...my boys are big and healthy.

Naison is currently undergoing potty training. He is doing ok but it is frustrating for mommy. He has also become quite the swimmer. He can almost swim all the way across the pool (the short way) by himself. He loves to be in the pool and jump and swim to people. Naison is turing out to a very sweet boy. He is very concerned when he sees his friends crying and likes to make people feel better by giving them kisses.
He also has very good manners and says please and thank you all the time. I am so proud of him.

That's what is happening in the G family these days. Love to all!

Beba comes to AZ

My Aunt Betty, Beba, came to visit from Arkansas a couple weeks ago. She had seen Kian before but he was a little guy. She was surprised to see he had grown so much in a few months...and he actually took his first couple of steps while she was here. Naison was also excited to see her and gave her lots of love and kisses. We did a lot of hanging with the kids during the day, cooking, and eating family dinners together. I even made my nana's pound cake for dessert. It was a rather short trip this time but we will see her again in June in Arkansas for my niece Katie's wedding! Thanks for coming to visit Beba! We love you.

The G's go to Texas...Austin that is.

We all took a fabulous family vacation to Austin, TX to see Victor and Neda get married. It was a wonderful trip. The whole Ghaemmaghami family was there and my mom and stepdad went to help out with the kids. Both plane trips couldn't have gone better...I was in shock! We started off the trip at Vic and Neda's place for dinner and the the next day woke up and had a boat ride with all the kids/cousins...Vafa was our captain. That night we had rehearsal for the wedding and then dinner, at this amazing BBQ place, where we got to see more Austin friends and family...Brian, Jubilee, and family were there and lots of Neda's family.

















The next day we got all the grandkids together so Mama Shahnaz and Baba Iraj could see them all and we hung out int he hotel lobby and then went swimming. I had other plans...like getting my eyebrows threaded and getting my hair and makeup done. It felt nice to have someone else get me ready for the day! This would not have been possible if it wasn't for mommy...she stayed in the hotel with the kids while they napped. This was the wedding day so it was crucial for naptime to happen for fear of meltdowns during the wedding.

That night was the moment we have all been waiting for...the wedding!!! Congrats to the new Mr and Mrs Ghaemmaghami! Naison did an excellent job as ring bearer...accepting a lollipop in exchange for the pillow with the rings on it. He was super cute in his suit. Kian also had a suit  and they both tolerated them pretty well.

Naison had lots of fun at the reception dancing, blowing bubbles, and eating lollipops. Thanks to Neda and Victor for hosting an amazing wedding/party. We love you guys and are so happy for you!!!

The next day we went to Zilker Park...cause you can't go to Austin and not go to Zilker Park. Nais had so much fun riding the train and looking Barton Springs.

We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Austin and can't wait to go back real soon!
