Happy Spring and Persian New Year!

This Persian New Year came so fast! Last year Bella was in Mommy's belly and now she's almost 9 months old! Our girls are growing up so fast. We had a wonderful Persian New year and especially loved that Aunty Mellissa came to visit from Alabama. We love visitors and our girls always love to spend time with thier family and friends. Wishing you all a beautiful spring and happy Persian New Year!!!

We visited Uncle Amir, Aunt Winnie and Cousin Clara and they worked their amazing camera magic to capture some incredible photos of our girls! Enjoy!!!

February!

Well for tebruary has flown by so fast for the Giti girls and family. The girls are growing so fast. Most excitingly, Aria's vocabulary is growing exponentially and Miss Bella is getting teeth! Two are out...but 4 more seem to be on their way up above. Also, Bella got her first haircut and looks like a little doll. Wishing everyone a beautiful February!!

Aria's Birthday Party

Our girls our 2 years old and 6 months old! We can't believe how grown they are and how fast time flies! We had a fun birthday party for Miss Aria--her friends came over and celebrated by decorating cakes and cookies! Aria even got her first fancy car (thank you Uncle Steve and Aunty Gail). She was blessed with wonderful gifts from her friends and is having so much fun with her goodies. The highlight of the birthday party was when 2 year old Aria blew out her own birthday candles--now that's a big girl! She can now speak Farsi, a little English, sing, dance, and potty on her big girl potty! Favorite characters are Elmo, Curious George, Barney and Abby Cadaby!!!

Christmas Pics

We had a wonderful Christmas and New Years! Our girls had 4 chances to meet Santa Clause--Aria cried, screamed or picked her nose each time and sweet Bella smiled, laughed and flirted with Santa! Out girls have completely different personalities--and apparently different tastes in men as well! we had a wonderful holiday season with family and friends and are so thankful for the generosity of family and friends for our girls.

Happy Fall and Halloween!!!

With Mommy's busy school and work schedule (mommy is busy writing her doctoral dissertation and interning at Kaiser Permanente's Dep. of Psychiatry) and daddy's very busy work schedule (Daddy has been working very hard and traveling all over the country the past couple of months), we have had a very busy household! We have had a wonderful fall with our beautiful Giti girls and enjoying eachother so much!

Miss Aria is growing into a young lady--talking away in both Farsi and English...everyday she surprises us with her vocabulary and communication skills! Miss Bella is growing so fast (so fast that she outgrew the halloween costume her mom bought her and ended up wearing the one that Aria wore last year at 10 months old).

We are blessed for our wonderful family for supporting us through all our endeavors. (Major thank you to Laya Joon...the best mother and mother-in-law in the world) and to beautiful moms (South Baby Mommy angels and Cool Coastal Mommies) for all the CKK, Aunty SD and TGS for supporting mommy so much and keeping Bella's belly full).

We are so blessed for all the love of our family and friends!!!!

Best Friends

Bella and Aria are quickly becoming best friends. We were worried that Miss Aria would be jealous of the new baby, but she has surprised us. Aria absolutely loves her sister and is so sweet and kind to her. She covers Bella in kisses and hugs and helps mommy take care of Bella. When mommy needs a diaper or a burp cloth for Bella, Aria runs to the rescue. Bella also recognizes Aria and coos and smiles when her sister covers her in kisses. We are so excited for our girls to grow together and be eachothers best friends forever.

Bella update: She just had her 2 month appointment and she has literally doubled in size
Weight: 14 pounds

Height: 23 inches

We are having fun with our girls and our busy lives. Between long work hours for Daddy and school and internship for mommy, we are super busy...but we are having fun and trying to enjoy every single second with our munchkins.
