Cutie captures hearts everywhere she goes

Aliyah is doing so many new, cute things all the time that there's no way i can write them all. She's always on the move...climbing, scooting, jumping...she thinks she can fly! She has no concept of getting hurt (gadum) and just goes everywhere in every way. Right now, she still doesn't go very far, but soon I know she'll need to constantly be watched. She can no longer be left on the bed with a pillow wall around the edges because she can climb the pillows. If I leave the room, I have to put her in the crib.

She skipped sitting up and went straight to crawling so now I'm trying to teach her to sit without falling over. She's usually not interested and crawls away. When I'm holding her on my lap on the couch, she sometimes decides she wants to escape and a few times she actually turned around and slid down off the couch into a standing position! I don't know if it was intentional or not but she's all ready to start walking =D Take your time baby!

She wants to eat every time she sees someone else eating. Anaagee pretends to put food on her fingers from a plate and then offers it to Aliyah. She gets so excited and sucks on her fingers. Yesterday, when I was feeding her some cereal, I noticed that she would take a bite, swallow, and then kick her little feet in anticipation of the next bite. What a cutie =) She loves to drink water...out of a glass or a water bottle. Water bottles, foil, and plastic are her favorite toys. She just got a few toys: a little piggie bank that sings and makes noise when you put the coins in the slot, a little piano with four keys, and a toy that makes noises for her crib. When she wakes up in the morning, her toys will keep her entertained for a little while until I'm ready to pick her up =)

Amin's dad loves her so much! Everyone does of course. She's such a little cutie pie. Whenever someone walks through the door, they ask where she is. Sahar, Yelda's friend and our new Liyana, is in love with her and they play a lot. Rubina, Amin's cousin, never liked the idea of having a husband and kids but Aliyah helped to change her mind. Sheeba's husband thinks a lot of babies are ugly but he thinks Aliyah is adorable and always asks to see her pictures. This little cutie captures hearts everywhere she goes!
