It is getting so hard to take pictures of her anymore she just does not sit still.
Visiting slash bossing around her cousin before leaving.
Danya is the biggest girly girl, she loves to wear dresses, necklaces, bracelets, purses, and my high heels.
I LOVE Raja's expression here
As Danya is getting older she and Raja can actually play together. She bosses him around and makes him sit and play with her toys, its just the cutest.
Picking peaches on a scorching hot day, what were we thinking, at least the kids had fun.
Lots of the time was spent having fun with water, Danya's expression here is so true to life.
The museum had a mini grocery store, all the shelves and carts were toddler size. At the end they got to check out and get a receipt - very clever!
We were in Memphis and Arkansas for a while. Danya and her cousin Haaris are really playing together now, its just so special. Here they are the Memphis Children's Museum, great place!
Playing with her pots and pans that she pretends to cook a meal in.
This dress was given to her by her friend Aubrey Cate, I adore the color!
We are the sort of people that bought an SLR camera and didn't really learn how to use all of its features, at first. Once we we got into researching and educating ourselves we realized that if we spent (percentage wise) a little more money we could really get something great. We promptly returned the one we original one and then Nadeem went to Europe for work again, we had family staying with us, then the three of us were traveling and we never got around to ordering our step up. So I have been forcing myself lately to take pictures with the old crummy one until the new one arrives in couple of weeks, yeaaaa its on its way!
All smiles before heading out.
It was impossible to get her and the characters at the same time as she would not look away for even a second to take a picture.
Eyes glued to the stage during a tense moment with Elmo.
We recently went to see Sesame Street Live with Danya. She had a blast dancing and pointing out all the characters, not to mention watching to all the other kids there. We were not sure if she was old enough to enjoy it but we were so glad we went and baby girl had such a good time. 
Danya's best friend Ryan and his mom went with us and it was amazing how much fun they had together.
In Minnie's house where she just had to sit on all the furniture.
For Danya's birthday we were is Disneyland over the weekend. Danya the explorer loved it, she said hi to all the characters, enjoyed the rides and loved to see all the other kids having fun. Here she is with Daddy taking a boat ride to see all the princess castles.
We went to the Little Rock Zoo on a very cold day but still managed to ride the carousal and see all the animals.
Here is Harris, my other sister's adorable little boy sitting in his ride, for the moment.
We went for walks on the Arkansas River bridge which the kiddies loved. It was hard to keep them in their strollers. On the way back they got to walk and take some pictures. This is Danya and I with my younger sister Aisha.
We just returned from a couple of wonderful weeks in Arkansas. It was so great to spend time with family and just relax. We went to Way (not sure of the spelling) Mountain where there is a beautiful field full of daffodils. At first Danya tried to eat them until she figured out that they taste bad.
Playing with beach toys.
One of Nadeem's co-worker's adorable baby boy. She was such a mother hen with baby Brady. She insisted on giving him his paci and fussed over him.... no little brother or sister for Danya for a couple of years.
Inner tubing on the kiddie slope.
We were in mountains of California for Nadeem's company's annual ski trip. Danya had fun sledding and playing in the snow but next year we going to be on the real slopes for her first lessons, so excited to be able to ski as a family.
When you tell her to be quite she says Shhhhh!
When the camera comes out she strikes a pose and after the flash goes off she has to see how it turned out on the digital camera screen. We like these ones!
