Halloween!

For Halloween I was a LADYBUG! Abuelita got me the warmest ladybug costume. It was a little big, my head only went up to the chest! We went to Aman Mama and Karen Mamis house and they gave me a butterfinger chocolate (which Ammu ate!)...Aman Mama's mom was visiting and she loved me, she bought me some gold round earrings from Devon Street - now I just have to get my ears pierced! Here is a picture of me with her. Also on Halloween morning Ammu and Karen Mami and their friends were supposed to go see the Oprah show - here is a picture of all of us before Abbu and I dropped them off at the train station. Can you see my ladybug outfit? After Ammu came home she told us the craziest story - on the subway she saw another baby and she asked how old the baby is - she was 6 weeks old just like me! And guess what her name was? INAYA! JUST LIKE ME! Ammu got a picture of her...can you tell which one she is from these pictures? Both my Ammu and that Ammu talked about how Inaya was supposed to be a very rare name but the other Ammu said people are starting to name their daughters Inaya now because it's "rare" - but that means when I'm older there will probably be a whole bunch of Inayas my age! I don't know how I feel about that...

Happy birthday Nanajaan

I love you. Amake dekte ashbana?

6 weeks

This week I started talking more, though Ammu and Daddy are still a little too slow to understand me. I also started having a little insomnia! At least by my 20 hour sleep day standards. I don't like it when I can't get to sleep.

I did get to play basketball for the first time this week - I love it! I went to a friend's house to play, but they weren't home, so I just shot around some till they came back. Then Ammu, Daddy, Dadu, and I hung out with Aman Mama and Karen Mami for a while. I told them I want a friend to play with and they said "maybe"!

I found out I'm a Virgo. My friend Wiki tells me Virgo is the sixth astrological sign in the Zodiac, originating from the constellation of Virgo. Also, Virgo is the only zodiac sign 

represented by a female.

I found out that my ideal careers are those in

which analytical and practical, methodical qualities are needed, such as doctor, teacher, psychologist, technician, 

nurse, hygienist, scientist, accountant, secretary, and inspector.

I also found out I like Health foods, Order and lists, Hygiene and cleanliness, Wholesomeness, Details, Peace.

I definitely dislike Hazards to health, Sloppiness, Squalor, Uncertainty, Uncleanliness, Confusion.

I have (and will continue to have) a graceful figure, a roundish head, delicately-shaped lips, large and clear eyes, small, symmetrical, and refined features, and a high forehead. Also I am thought to usually be of slightly above average height (21 inches!).

I'm generally compatible with the same element signs, Taurus and Capricorn, which makes complete sense since Ammu is Taurus and Daddy is Capricorn!!

• Analytical / critical / insightful
  
• Precise / meticulous 
  
• Orderly / methodical

5 weeks - matching dimples

1 month today

a lot has happened in the past month. first, i was delivered by my nanu! then i spent two days in the hospital where abuelita, tio carlos, carly, mama, aunt trina, micah bhaiya, granddaddy, mary, nana, khaled nana, shelly nanu, rumana dadu, rizia nanu, and harun nana all visited me. we were there for three nights and i spent one night under the UV lights before going home to nana's house in birmingham. i spent the first night at home in the placard, but after that i've spent every single night sleeping with ammu and daddy in their bed - well our bed now! on my 6th day of life we drove the entire day to chicago. abuelita stayed with me in chicago for two weeks, she sang to me and read to me and rocked me. then this past weekend i flew to north carolina for memaw's 90th birthday. i met memaw, grandmom erlene, mister charlie, miss theresa, aunt laurie, aunt christie, uncle bill, uncle anthony, and then cousins jordan, jessica, morgan, and vince! everyone was soooooo nice to me and wanted to hold me and they did - hopefully they all washed their hands first! i think grandmom erlene made sure of that. i even got some presents. memaw especially was so sweet, she held me too and before i left i slept next to her in her bed for a few minutes. oh and i was so good on all four plane segments - i didn't make a peep! when i started to make a peep ammu fed me immediately and i fell asleep (across her legs) for all four flights - just like daddy did! tio carlos got me this google shirt, i'm wearing it today for my one month birthday. yesterday i laughed for the first time (with noise).

3 week birthday

went to the doctor friday, he said i'm healthy and that i may have been eating a little too much! height 20.5", weight 8lb 1oz. height 50th percentile, weight 30th, but since i was born in the 10th percentile (6lb 5oz and 19") it's pretty rapid growth. abuelita left yesterday :( chicago is getting cold but im still warm and sometimes i'm dressed so warm i start to perspire. my hair is getting a little longer in the back and i started making real eye contact yesterday. going to memaw's 90th birthday next weekend in north carolina!
