Yumna Update

2006-01-17T10:38:00.000-05:00

Yumna's tricks have continued to surprise Atif and I every day. She is climbing up to standing position and cruising (walking while holding a table or couch) at every opportunity she can find. Her personality is really coming out. She squeals with delight when she sees someone she likes, and has started pointing at things she wants. She continues to bob her head whenever she eats something good, or is listening to music. Her vocabulary has increased to include mamama and bababa to both of our delight. She has also started clapping and gives kisses to us.

Let's face it.. you're here because you want to see Yumna. So, in the interest of saving you the agony of reading some of my nonsense, I've opened up my upstairs Room.

On the Move

2005-12-06T15:03:00.000-05:00

Yumna has begun exploring her home now. She crawls from room to room, and follows Atif and I where ever we go. She can now get into sitting position all by herself, and is standing with the support of the couch or a toy. We've started baby proofing the house now as Yumna loves to get into the most unusual places. Her favourite pass time is rearranging her Dad's CDs and DVDs.

Here is Yumna in the Eid present from Sumi Khala.

Belated Eid Mubarak!

Eid Mubarak! This is Yumna in her Eid outfit.. we had a fairly quiet Eid this year because all of us were under the weather.. Atif, Saqib, Yumna and I went to my Mom's place on Friday for a dinner party. Yumna had a great time, she got to see her Khala who was visiting from Waterloo, and got lots of Eid presents. Lucky girl!

After talking to Saira, it turns out that some of the Waterloo gang have stumbled upon this totally unused blog. I set it up one day with the intention of sending it out to all of Yumna's family and friends with regular updates on what is happening with her, but never got around to it... I think it would be a good idea to start again.

Yumna has become really active.. she's crawling around and can get from one end of the family room to the other in seconds.. it's suprising how active she is considering neither Atif or I are athletic, but I think she might have a future in sports! She must get that from her Saqib Thaiya.. he'll probably have her playing hockey in two years! She's definately got the outfit for it from her Shashi DeeDee and Aghajee.

Welcome

Asalamu Alaikum, and Welcome to this blog primarily about Yumna.

Masha'Allah there are so many people that love Yumna out there and are interested in seeing how she is doing so I decided to create this blog to update you all about what she's up to... her latest tricks include sitting on her own, and rolling all around the family room.

She's been singing a lot lately too.. mostly "ta ta ta ta ta" with the occasional "la la la." We've started putting her in the stroller without the infant seat, and she's been enjoying looking at everything, especially the cars driving by.
