A busy Summer

We can't believe summer is coming to a close. We have had SOOOOOO much fun and been so busy. The fall looks like it will continue to be just as busy, however, hopefully much cooler!! We went with the Frey Family to Kansas City and stayed at Great Wolfe Lodge. We had a quick, but super time. We went for a couple reasons...just to have fun with our cousins, but also so Mommy and Daddy could pick up our cousins so they could stay at our house for an entire WEEK!!

A group shot before getting in the pool for the first time.  Poor daddy was so sick.  He got food poisoning the night before, but he sure was a trooper.

The mischievous foursome...don't go far...likely to be one of them getting in to trouble!!

 

 

Kian and Ethan started a real pre-K program at a local private school.  They are only going 2 full days per week, but they are thriving and enjoying every day.  The days they don't go, they wake up and beg us to "Please...can I go to school today?"

 

 

 

Kamran got his first official haircut  August 23rd, 2012.  A before shot...

 

 

 

And an after shot of this handsome dude!!  He needed it very much.  No more shaggy hair for our cute little boy!

 

 

Kamran turned 9 months old.  Crazy how these past 9 months have flown by.  We haven't had our 9 month check up to give you his vital stats, but I'm sure is up there on the charts.  He's crawling like a speed racer, he's pulling up.  He is even walking behind his walker and occasionally, he lets go and stands by himself.  Mommy and Daddy say he'll be walking by 11 months. We shall see!!

 

 

Outside playing after school...with our new soccer cleats!

 

 

Mommy and Daddy took some time to take us all to the zoo.  We enjoyed the family time together, however, the heat got to us quickly and we left shortly after we got there. 

 

 

Smile Kian!!

 

 

Smile, Ethan!

 

 

Ethan and Kian finally spent all their gift cards they have collected from the last couple years from their birthday and Christmas and bought a new...

 

 

 

BIKE!!!

 

 

We LOVE our new BIKES!!

 

 

Kamran is sharing in the enthusiasm of the new bikes by picking flowers and eating them...while enjoying the view of the crashes and wipe outs!

 

 

Daddy helping Kian and Ethan pedal and steer.  By now...18 hours later...they are PROS at biking.  

Welcome Fall...Welcome September... for new adventures!



A busy summer

A long time coming...an update on the summer events from the Madjid residence. We've had so much fun, we've been too busy to realize how hot it was. We enjoyed a Independence day gathering with great friends. The boys got to shoot off their first fireworks with some old classmates and friends.

Kamran got his first hair cut.  Really, it was a hair ear trim.  Mom won't let him have his first real haircut until he turns 1 year old.  'Nana' is an expert at cutting hair.  Nana is our nanny's mother.  She comes over to visit every once in a while.  Since we have a "Grammie" and a "Gramma", the boys get to call her 'Nana'.

Some of Mommy's favorite time of the day is bath time with Kamran.  It's the one on one time she gets to spend with her baby boy.

Kamran turns 8 months old!!

He's doing lots of fun stuff.  He started creeping a few weeks ago.  His favorite word (and only word) is Ma ma Ma ma.  He started pulling up on things last week when the nanny found him standing in his crib after nap.  He has advanced from baby food to eating solids like cheerios. He smiles and laughs nonstop and loves chasing and following his brothers around the house.

Here's a cute video of Daddy making Kamran laugh.  Soooo cute!!!

Our first basketball game

We started basketball last week.  We are having a lot of fun and like to participate way more than we did at soccer. 

 Both boys played very well.  They both got scared of the buzzer and put their hands over their ears.

 Ethan only got hit in the face two times and Kian tripped quite a few times, but in the end,

 everybody left for home with a smile on our face and were willing to go back for practice the next week.

And the double bonus???  Everybody was asleep in less than 8 minutes after crawling in to bed for nap.  Mommy came out a winner then!!



Weekend with cousins

We spent a fantastic weekend with cousins in Omaha, Nebraska. We had so much fun that it was very hard to leave. However, Mom and Dad promise that it will happen again sometime soon and we even heard a rumor that our cousins were going to come and stay with us for a week at the end of the summer!!

Here's a picture of Kamran and Mommy snuggling and enjoying each other on a lazy Saturday afternoon!

A cool moment splishing and splashing in the water with my cousin, Sofie

Auntie Buffy and Uncle Steve have the PERFECT yard for a slip and slide.  Its all down hill in the back yard.  We can pick up some serious speed on the way down!

Some more slippin'

Worn out, but unwilling to give up and go to bed.  We found him snuggled in the hallway with all of his George's asleep at 10 oclock at night.  He's lucky Mommy didn't accidently step on him during Kamran's mid-night feeding.

Happy Kamran.  Full of smiles and full of laughter and life.

Kamran is 6 months old!

Kamran is 6 months old! Unbelievable how time has flown by. He is hitting the typical six month milestones like: rolling over, sitting supported, blowing raspberries, cooing, putting everything in his mouth, rocking on all fours, and starting to teeth.  We are predicting he will be left-handed just like his brother, Kian, and just like his Mommy should have been.  But only a prediction.  We are still enjoying every minute of his mild manners and he has even started cooing himself to sleep and not crying.  He's scheduled more and more every day making it easier to keep his big brothers entertained and organized.  However, he LOVES his naps and foods and don't try to skip one...or else!!!!

Kian is posing with his brother

Ethan staring at the TV...and trying to ignore Mom!

Another shot of Kamran loving life.  He LOVES his baths and enjoys splishing and splashing.  Its his one-on-one time with Mom or Dad in the evenings before his 6:30 bedtime.

We introduced food for the first time this weekend and he's a pro!  He's been watching us put things in our mouths and trying to mimic us, so as much as we'd like to keep him a baby forever, we decided now was better than ever!!  And boy...did he enjoy his rice cereal!

Second thoughts on that spoonful of green beans????

We've had a wonderful spring in Oklahoma. The weather has been beautiful and we've spent numerous nights outside enjoying the weather and playing. We still enjoy getting up really early in the morning. Most mornings, we crawl in bed with Mommy and Daddy, but a few mornings, we let them sleep and we turn our cartoons on in the living room and just watch TV. They caught us this morning... 

Mud is our favorite activity this spring and Mom and Dad's yard has plenty of it.  This day, Mom let us specifically put on our 'muddin' clothes and we got to splash around in the mud like little piggies!

Uncle Andy came to visit us.  We LOVED hanging out with him and we think he enjoyed meeting his newest nephew too.

An adventure took Mom and Kamran to Minnesota.  Mom sure was gutsy taking him on the plane, but, of course, he was an angel and slept the entire plane ride both ways.  Grandma and Poppa did some babysitting while Mommy took care of some business for a weekend and they fell in love all over again with their grandson!

Mom and Kamran visited with Uncle Jeremy and Auntie Lauren, cousin Jason and our newest 'Leuer' family member, cousin Brandon.  We enjoyed playing and rolling on the floor together.

A blessed day!

Our beautiful miracle baby was baptized today. It's official! He has great Godparents too! 'Auntie' Nikki and 'Uncle' Bret have promised to guide him spiritually for the rest of his life!

Our great friend, Natascha, was there to witness the baptism. She's been great support and wonderful help to Mommy and Daddy. She LOVES the boys and will babysit every once in a while to help Mom and Dad stay sane.

Holding on to Nikki for dear life...as if he knew he was about to get dunked in the water!

And the official baptism...not a tear was shed. Just giggled with the water splashing on his head.
Our candle...

A quick family photo

Kamran and his delicious cake...too bad he couldn't taste it! We ate enough for him so we could be sure to tell him all about it!

He's truly a blessing and our little miracle baby. Can't believe he hit 5 months old. 1 year ago Mommy was in the hospital with a life threatening condition and baby 'Rito', AKA Kamran, was no bigger than a peanut. Today, he's hit 20lbs and laughs non stop. We are very blessed with all 3 boys. We couldn't imagine life any other way!
