Semi potty trained

This picture does not match the title of this post but I don't think it is appropriate to post the actual picture I took that does match :) This was taken during our weekend hiking excursion and it does show how proud we are of our little girl who does not have any more potty diapers! It took a few days of failed attempts but then she got the hang of it and we are just so thrilled... funny how being parents changes one's ideas of thrilling.

Psychedelic dress

The hair barrette only lasted a minute.

One of Nadeem's sisters made this dress for Danya. I thought the colors were kinda funky but she looked so cute and '60s in it.

Girly girl

I cant really wear a watch anymore as it becomes a bracelet for Danya which eventually gets thrown around the house.
The walker in the background used to be hers now it is serving double duty for her visiting 9 month old cousin. I love to see her baby things out again.

Danya loves all jewelry. If anyone is wearing a necklace she likes she demands they take it off and she put it on. She also has a thing for purses.x

Love this dress

I love this dress that I got for Danya to wear to another wedding we went to recently. I learned from our Philly trip that Pakistani clothes on a baby look cute but cause so much trouble for the baby and the parents. In this she was not fussy and I didn't have any trouble holding her.

Philly trip

Family picture. Danya was so tired at this point we had to take what we could get as far as eye openness.
Danya and I stylin on wedding day.

Traditionally, a Pakistani wedding is three days long. On the first day the guests usually wear yellow or green. This is Danya and my sister's son Haris dressed and ready to party on day one.

We had a great time at my cousin's wedding in Philly. Danya was mostly smiles but would get very tired at the end of the day from all the running around. This picture was taken while she was still full of energy and in comfortable clothes.

Langa

My mother had this beautiful Langa (formal Pakistani outfit) made for Danya to wear at my cousin's wedding in Philadelphia. We are leaving tomorrow and I thought I would have Danya do a practice run before I pack it in case she could not handle it and needed just a plain dress as a back up. I thought she did well and she looked so cute, like she was floating in it. I didn't put the top on for fear she would drop something on it.
