me and my baby

Jian constantly tries to explain things to me & it doesn't matter how busy I am I got to listen to them. Oh! how I wish to take some glamorous pictures with good focus & lighting, but all these will remain a dream. Every picture I click, she wants to see. Every thing I post she needs to have some big opinion about it! Young lady don't make things harder for mommy...because they already are.

Jian used to hate leafy vegetables. But after I showed Popoye, She is slowly beginning to like them. This is what Kamal made with spinach, chicken cubes, potatoes & mozzarella...YUM YUM!!!

My four year old, teaching her little baby brother or sister about reading & books. It started from the day I told her that the baby can listen to us even if it's inside my belly! We haven't seen the gender. Hoping for the best & so much curious at the same time. Can't wait till the day!!

The rain is just making my garden bloom!!

I just love the way her baby cousin makes these awesome faces when Jian tries to hold him or give him a kiss. He probably thinks why there is so much earth quakes in this lifetime!!

Jian begged me to post this picture as she thinks planes, helicopters & anything that flies are probably the coolest things on this planet. I needed a different lense but who could make her understand that!!

JIAN PROUDLY HOLDING FRUITS IN OUR GARDEN!!

Jian was not sleeping & it was 5...I think. So I decided to take a picture. I always wait for sunlight & eventually I forget the next morning. Talk about pregnancy brain. We have a night light. I have decided to switch it off & see how she reacts to dark! She has been eating my brains out with limitless requests for bed time stories. Obviously there are some favorites but you just can't change them a single bit or you have to start from the top!

Bought these as gifts for Kamal & surprised him with my corn soup & mozzarella!

Jian...Please drink from the cup.

I am a big girl now, I can drink from the bottle, see mommy!!

You are not big enough!

Look! I am as much tall as you are mommy!!

I don't know what happens to us when we grow up. As kids we are so care free but as we grow old everything seems so out of order. Jian has grown out of her vomiting phase (GERD) but still whenever she makes a sound in her sleep both  Kamal & I jump out of the bed. We still panic when something gets stuck in her throat while she is eating!! She is such a big girl now but ( yes there is always a but ) I still treat her like a little girl. May be I just can't accept the fact that I have to love some one else as much as I have loved her!

You just love showing your brother everything on You tube. And surprisingly he loves it ,too.

I had this misconception that shaving head strengthens hair. But after much research I found out it only seems that the hair has become thicker as it becomes short! I will never cut her hair so short. Jian's curls were my most favorite feature about my little angel. It just broke my heart, every time I had to shave her head. So don't be a dummy like me & do some good old research about doing something for your kid before listening to old myths created by backward people who don't have other things to do & advice you on parenting when they live completely in the dark & they themselves don't know what they are talking about!!

Jian & Kamal made this awesome dish with chicken, cheese & pasta. We baked it in the micro oven for 5 minutes & it came out just like the restaurant!! Our new kitchen is getting so much vibe. We are cooking so many things...trying out new dishes. We already had two dinner parties with this pasta dish & they were a  big hit. Although Kamal tries to take all the credit but spreading mozzarella over the pasta was my idea!

Sometimes this is the best I can do as she constantly moves & all the pictures comes out blurry & out of focus. Taking pictures of small ones till they walk or learn to move like spider man is much more easy & assuring for new photographers like me. Again sorry guys!

This is the tale of our first ever 10 minute deep fried chicken dish. I just had a brain storm & decided to cook this without any proper ingredients. It came out totally different from my mom's unbeatable fried recipe but it was nice. I mean I was thankful that it was edible & my sister said it was better than my mom!

It felt like I am in a large hole falling downwards just like a terrible nightmare! All these negative thoughts pops in my head & I can't get rid of them. With Jian I was always so positive & healthy. But this time around I can barely go through the day without a nervous breakdown. I know it's the hormones & the surroundings but I can't help asking myself " Am I to blame for all these going wrong around me?" I always believe in karma. But I don't easily hurt somebody. So why is that everybody keeps forgetting that I am pregnant & expects me to be the responsible one! Talking jebarish I know....but it felt so nice to finally let it go.

Something came over me & I decided to shave Jian's head, not once but twice. Now I am just kicking myself for this. She hates taking pictures. So for the time being I had to take 2 or 3 pictures a day for the 365 project. Taking her photo everyday is just to unbearable for her. She has become so self  conscious about the hair.

This is the face that you make when I tell you that I am not your mommy! You make these puppy eyes, plump your lips & try to shed some tears along the way. Who could have thought my daughter is going to be such a drama queen!!

This is our new balcony. It's full of greens & sweet breeze. Jian is always playing there & counting the mangoes in the mango trees...talking to the birds...touching the leaves. I end up doing some extra laundry & shouting for washing her hands for dust!

We collected this honey from our old home's window bee-hive. I took some pictures but they were hazy as the window couldn't be opened for safety purposes. Don't know why but it tastes funny. But the smell is so nice & we use it as bread spreads & tea sweetner.
