Trimming Aliyah's nails...

Trimming Aliyah's nails is one of the hardest thing I found so far.  I have tried clipping, filling and trimming them by using nails scissors and they just don't seem to work well.  The nails are so small attached to something that can make such a loud noise is terrifying to say the least.  Apart from the fact that they are so small, they can often leave sharp edges I can never seem to get.  I can't wait till Aliyah starts biting her nails or for her daddy to start trimming her nails:)

3 month-old!!!

Time sure passes by quick....Aliyah is already three month-old!  We can't even remember how life was before she was born.  She is really joyful and brings so much joy into our lives.  I took her to take pictures and its amazing how well she did the whole time.  There were nine total pictures taken and she smiled in ALL 9!  I had such a hard time picking the ones I wanted.                             

One of the outfit we got her during Christmas time and she never got to wear it and thought she might as well take pictures with it:)

Another Christmasy outfit her Aunt (Yeshi) got her and never got to wear.  Doesn't she look like a doll??? Our sweet Aliyah!!!  

Motherhood

I decided to go ahead and stay home with Aliyah for the next 3-6 months.  She gets to be this little once in a life time and want to be there for her. 

Itsy Bitsy Yoga

This little boy wouldn't stop touching her:) He was just a big flirt

Aliyah goes to her Itsy Bitsy yoga every week.  At first I was kind of hesitant to take her since I didn't think it will help her at all but now I learned few poses that helps her when she has tummy problems, yoga helps her sleep better (She usually goes to sleep right after her class), some poses calm them down when she is fussy. 

For first-time mom, it gave me better insight on how to play with my little girl.

I know...I know...I am sure everyone is probably thinking that's how every parent think. Especially new parents think their baby is advanced in everything.  Well, you can see it yourself and tell me she is not advanced:)  When daddy was feeding her yesterday and saw her thands on the bottle, he let go to see if she will continue holding and she sure did.  She even titled it up to get more milk.  I guess she just have the fine-motor skills required sooner than some.  Lets just hope she continues doing everything quicker:)

Our 6-week-old

My mom finally left and reality started...I am so grateful for my mom to have come from miles away and stay and help me for one month. Like any new parent, I thought I can do it all and didn't really let both my mom and sister help much in the beginning but once the reality hits me I took ALL the help they could offer and it made my life a whole lot better!!!!!!

I never believed it when people said time passes by so quick and you will have no time to do anything besides taking care of your baby...I found out that is so true. I am trying to enjoy every second I have with Aliyah now.

My mom and I - the day she left:(

Her hair is long enough for hair bands now:)

Aliyah making bubbles:)

I just love how she sleeps...
