Asmaa's Crawling

She's been able to get to her destination (by creeping, rotating and flipping) for some time now, but last night, at 6 months and 10 days old, she finally figured out how to alternate her hand movement and started crawling.

Twins:)

Yes, I can get obsessed with dressing them alike:)

It finally makes sense that Children's Place would offer savings if you buy two of the same item :)

You gotta zoom-in on Asmaa's face

Nusayba's Counting to 10!

For some reason she skips wahed (one) and I think it's because I usually say it to get her started.

My favorite is number eight -- mnamna which is supposed to be thamaniya :)

Long Distance Call

This was the first "real" conversation Nusayba and Iman had over the phone since Iman left us about 5 months ago.

I think Nusayba was trying to speak in English!

That was the length of their call -- just Nusayba & Iman!
Soon we'll need calling cards just for Nusayba:)

There was another really cute video of Nusayba multitasking:) I don't know if she was imitating me, but she had the phone to her ear in one hand and was walking around in circles picking-up fliers and pretending to read them with the other.
(I wasn't able to upload that video for some reason)

On Her Knees

Although she's not really creeping yet, Asmaa's now getting up on her knees and swaying back and forth.

She's very good at pushing herself backwards, or as her uncle puts it, "reversing", until she hits a wall and starts crying for help. We've found her in our closet, stuck under our bed and here under the chair.

Food Attack

Asmaa started solids on her 5th month birthday--November 19th. She gets so excited that I have a hard time refilling her spoon.

Alhamdulillah, I'm now content and ready to pose:)
