Happy Halloween!!!

Aria had an amazing first Halloween. Her Halloween excitement started on Friday when she dressed up as Tinkerbell and went to the library for reading and music time, then went to the park for a playdate with her friends, and then a visit to the pumpkin patch with her cousin Aliyah. Aria picked out her very own mini pumpkin and pet some goats, a calf, and a llama! On Saturday, Aria went to the Kowalskis for her bestfriend Kaison's Costume party, and then trick or treating at the Riviera Village with cousin Aliyah (Gabriela from Hign School Musical), her Aunt and Uncle Sierra Dawn & Kylen (AKA Lady Gaga & Perez Hilton), Mommy (Wonder Woman), and daddy and family and friends.

Aria had a wonderful first Halloween and is so thankful for all her wonderful family and friends!!

Next year, she is going to convince her daddy to dress up too!!!

Miss Aria is 8 months old!

How time flies....

Miss Aria is now 8 months, 23 pounds, wears size 12-18 months and is the proud owner of 4 teeth (although she still refuses to show off those 2 top two teeth for us to get a photo). She loves her solids and looks forward to her 3 meals. She is a great eater that's for sure! Her favorite snacks are fresh fruit and Iranian lavash bread (feels good on the teeth =)


Mommy and Aria had a beautiful summer with reading time, swim class, playgroups, stroller strides, and lots of piano playing and singing...Miss Aria was kept very busy! It is a tough transition for mommy to be back in school although it's only part-time this year.

Aria also went on her first airplane flight! She even got a certificate from Southwest! She did so well! She had a wonderful time with her Aunt Mellissa and all her family in Alabama. She misses them a lot!!

The past few days, Aria has been a trooper with a fever and her first cold! Mommy and daddy are taking great care of her and she'll be back to perfect health in no time.

A busy month!

The Giti household has been busy this past month! We've had the pleasure of having many family members come to visit and stay with us. Aria has had a blast as she loves a loud and busy home...when it's quiet she gets grumpy!

Aria is the proud owner of two bottom teeth and two top teeth. She is also eating solids 3 times a day. Until things get to busy, mommy has been making Aria's food for her...all it takes is some steaming and food processing. Aria also just met her new pediatrician Dr. Ghafouri and loved her! The stats on Miss Aria: 29 inches and 22 pounds, clothes size: 12-18 months!!

Aria also had some excitement this past weekend: Her Uncle Steve took her into the ocean for the first time! She is definitely a water baby and we think she may be following her Cousin Clara's footsteps and become a surfer girl! Also, Aria went to her first wedding--she had so much fun at Cousin Paris' wedding!

So much excitement for our little one.

Las Vegas!

I went to Las Vegas this weekend and had such a good time playing with my cousin Aliyah and seeing my Uncle Steve, Grandpa, Great Grandma, Aunt Sheri, and Cousin Avi!!! we spent most of the time in the pool and I even got a tan. I miss my Vegas family a lot. I can't wait to visit again.

6 months old

I have 1 tooth!

I weigh almost 20 pounds (97th percentile)

I am almost 29 inches tall (off the charts!) I am really tall!

I started eating too! Yummy carrots that mommy made! I also love melon and strawberries

I have had an amazing summer--Monday, Wednesdays and Fridays exercise on the beach with mommys and babys at stroller strides, Tuesdays library reading time, Thursdays Mommy and Baby play group, and Fridays swim class with Kaison, Sabrina and other babies!!

I am having an awesome summer!

Mommys 30th bday on Catalina Island

We celebrated Mommy's 30th bday on Catalina Island. It was nice to get away for a couple days. It's amazing how Catalina is only twenty-something miles away and it was a first time visit for the whole family to visit! We had fun walking around Avalon, fish-watching on a glass bottom boat, touring the island on a big jeep, and lying out on the beach. I loved wearing my bikini!

My friends at Mommy Group

Here are some of my friends from mommy group! They are so nice and we have lots of fun together! This week my friends came over to my house and we played a lot! I love my new friends!

Our Busy Summer!

Sorry for the lack of posts this past month! Mommy's computer crashed and she was so frustrated with technology that she even didn't update my blog! Bad Mommy!  We are having such a busy summer! Mommy finished school at the end of May and Grandma left for Iran (Aria misses grandma SO much) on the 1st of June! Mommy and Aria have been so busy--we started exercise class Monday, Wednesdays and Fridays--we meet other mommys and baby's on the beach and exercise together--it is so much fun! It is a class called Stroller Strides.  Mommy met some really nice mommys there too--so we meet with them on Thursdays for Mommy group.  It is super fun! I also started swimming classes on Fridays--I splash around with other babys--I hope I'm a good swimmer someday!! Here are some photos of me from the last month!!!

San Diego

I visited San Diego this week! My daddy had a conference there and Mommy and I came to visit! I had SO much fun walking around the city with mommy and shopping! I also got to go out to dinner with Aunty Nadia, Uncle Joel and Aunt Merle and my new friends Mister Richard and Misses Seal.  We had fun eating Spaghetti! The next day I got to go to my first baseball game--it was so much fun! I played with lots of Daddys friends and got to stay up very late!! It was so neat. I can't wait to be big enough to go to Sea World and San Diego Wild Animal Park someday!

My Great Uncle Amirs Bday Party

I had so much fun at my Uncle Amir and Opa Herman's bday party! I played with my Aunt Winnie, Uncle Amir, and Aunt Patice a lot. I even listened to some fiddle playing. It was so fun!

Visits from Mommy Friends!

It's been so exciting because I have gotten to meet so many of mommys friends in this last month!!! Here are some photos of me with some of my aunties (and my uncle Zubin too) !!!

Arias 4 months old!

We are having so much fun watching our little girl grow! She is definitely beginning teething as she wants to chew on everything in front of her and has become our little drool monster. Sleep has become easier--every night Papa gives her a bath and then we snuggle her and feed her. She falls asleep and wakes up every 3 hours...this is soooo much better than her sleep routine the first 3 months! Other activities that Aria loves: watching Sesame Street in the mornings and absolutely LOVES Elmo (we think its because he's red), sitting on her mommy's lap every day and slams down on the piano and laughs and laughs (we already know there is a musician brewing in there), going on walks with Grandma, showering with her daddy at nights, jumpig around on her exerciser-saucer, weekly visits to see her Aunt Winnie and Uncle Amir, and going to the mall (she loves to see people).

She also got to go to Vegas and visit her family there. She especially loved to suck on her Uncle Steve's thumb and watch her cousin Aliyah! She can't wait to be old enough to play with her cousin.

She has had many visitors this month--she especially loved meeting some of her Mommy's grad school friends last week and the week before! She spent so many months in mommy's belly sitting in class that it seems like she already knows mommy's school friends.

She also celebrated her mommy's first mother's day! She had so much fun splashing around the pool at her Aunt Robin's house and playing with her cousin Clara and Hayden.

It has been an exciting month! Next week mommy finishes school and she gets to spend 3 months all day with Mommy!!! We are so excited for the summer!
