Sumi in Black and White

Thanksgiving 2010

Mama's famous Hareesa. One of the few desserts that was eaten all up :)

Our contribution: Cornbread stuffing with onions, celery, and pineapple!

Ahmed with his awesome new glasses...and Sumo

I always wonder what she is thinking about. Especially when there are two fingers in her mouth.

Tongue roll please

with a side of drool

She loves this toy but somehow ends up banging it on her knee or face and then the cries begin. She still really really likes it though

See?

Trying to entertain Suma, my full- time job, alhamdulillah

Giddos

Eids!

Ahmed really liked Mama's hareesa.

Nada, Baby Boy Aly, and I. I don't remember what who had our attention, but he/she seemed to be doing a good job of keeping it!

Practicing!

Toasted Almonds, Pine Nuts, and Raisins for the rice.

Love it!

Sumi, meet your cousin :)

Only special people get this type of love

Caught, red-handed!

This was only half the spread.

Tunt Mervat special ordered a pumpkin cheesecake just for me! Thank-you Tunt! Loved it

Giddos part II...Sumi getting a sugar rush from the pineapple

And the mastermind behind the scenes....Mr. Ahmed Eid

Sumo Tickle Attack!

Sumo Independent Play

SubhanAllah- in such a short period of time, Sumi went from sleepy, hungry baby to Miss Independent. She already knows how to "type" and knows that water bottles are meant for drinking. We need to be really conscious of our actions :)

Sumi Monster's Eid Gift

We have been working out our biceps for quite some time now. We finally decided to buy a Fisher Price Jumperoo. Sumi (and her parents) could not be happier, alhamdulillah.

Sumi Monster Song

One day we woke up and decided to make a music video for Sumi, just so she knows she has super awesome parents :D

My feet are so awesome! 

First I was asleep 

Then I woke up. WHERE AM I? HUH? WHO ARE YOU? 

OH, It's mama and baba! 

OOOOOOOOOOO! 

YAY! 

 I have many tricks up my sleeve. Can you do that? 

Grass is amazing 

Camera? Mama is more interesting. 

Sumi's first time feeling grass 

Labayka Allahumma Labayk
