Hello amigos

so can u believe it has been 4 months already since i last posted?


baby boy is no longer a baby, he just entered toddlerhood 1 week ago. he's still a crawler but i expect to see him running very soon inshallah. there were a few attempts from him last night to stand up, got half way there and then falls down again. but thats okay, he'll be there soon. his favorite person in the world is his big brother Saif! they r best friends.. u could only hear him giggling and laughing out when Saif is around, otherwise, he's a very grumpy boy who seeks alot of attention.




once he turned one, i switched his baby milk into cow's. he didnt like it at the beginning, but he's alright now. i also made sure to cut off all the baby cereals and ready meals i used to get him, and replaced them with food from my kitchen. he so far ate kousa ma7shi, fresh fruits with yogurt, any sauce with rice, and egg.
we r well progressing comparing to the past couple of months when he used to vomit everything including mashed food. el7amdellah.
i also stopped giving him bottles at night, which gives me less headaches and more time to sleep without being interrupted.


we r celebrating eid these days, tried my very best to make it feel so, although my husband and Saif didnt take any day off. we went for a nice dinner at Nando's with our friends on the first day, and went for a couple of visits on the second. made sure the first thing my kids see when they wake up ballooons and lots of presents. it drew a smile on their faces and got them excited for the rest of the day. they ofcourse wore their new eid outfits and ate lots of my home made ma3moul.


Saif likes his school sooo much that he wishes there were no weekends! could u believe that?! and he finally got sattled in the arabic school that he goes to on saturdays after giving us hell in the past couple of months. he is already starting to read out 3-letters words. i love how he tries to break up the words he finds hard in order to read them. mashallah he's a very bright boy.
i was so proud of him yesterday when he ran to me after school with a bag of candy asking me if it was halal to eat or not, can u believe how gorgoues he is???
i told him it isnt, so he was a little disappointed. he was quite for some time and then asked me why isnt all food halal? i told him because allah asked us not to eat some food because they would harm us. and if we dont obey what allah asked us for, he'll be upset from us and wont give us all the nice things we ask him for. do u want allah to be upset from you? he said "noway ya mama! ana basma3 kalamek w kalam allah, ma bedi eyakom tez3alo meni, ra7 akebha bel zbaleh when we reach home"!
i LOVE you ya ummy, allah ykamlak be3aglak w ybarekli feek w ye7meeek. and as a reward, i made him some pizza, his all time favorite food!


the weather is getting very chili, it already was 2 degrees a couple of days ago. i hate it because i have to get up at 7:30 am and get the boys ready to drop saif to school. i have to walk and wait until they open the gates for at least 10 minutes under the rain with a baby :( its no fun at all.

is this the longest post or what?
thats it for today :)
