New Activities

Elijah has started chewing on biscuits. He doesn't get very far without any teeth, but he's practicing.

Here he is practicing drinking from a cup. He's getting pretty good!

Here he is practicing sitting up. He's actually sitting up straighter than this already. It's crazy how fast babies' skills improve...sometimes within a matter of hours.

DON'T ASK! I guess I'm creating a monster with all the photos I've been taking. He's "vogue-ing" now. Great. :/ ~Nasreen

A Day of Firsts

My first Father's Day was a life changing experience. Taking my son to his first Cubs game on my first Father's Day was a dream come true. Nasreen and I were both emotional at certain parts of the day. It is very hard to describe the feelings that I felt when I was there, but I guess proud and rewarding would be close. It was a day that I will never forget. I can't wait to teach him how to keep score, to understand the little nuances of the game, and how to yell at the umpires properly. It is such an exciting time in my life and I am enjoying every second of it.

Six Month Portraits

And, the classic George Costanza pose...

Elijah keeps growing. He's now 16 1/2 lbs and 26 1/2 inches long. He's been practicing sitting up by himself and playing with his toys. He's even trying to drink from a sippy cup. Can you believe it? We're truly realizing what so many have told us, they grow up FAST. ~Nasreen
