Maryam's study and sceince fare

Maryam: a serious student?
I don't know about you, but this photo makes me laugh. Its look like she got all the things set up for a `library fight`. Okay, so this one is for fun only.





Maryam @ a science fare


We took her to a science fare at our workplace. She looked at everything with amusement. Being too young, she didn't get a chance to try out anything. So I decided to give a hand. Well, two hand in this case. Kids are supposed to kick in the plastic bag with all there might, the rocket set in the front of a tube connected to the bag would then just fly. Let's see how far your's would go! So Maryam jumped with her two feet on it [well dad `help` her] and sure enough the rocket did fly. We had lot of fun. Wait a minute; dad seems to have more fun then Maryam, at least in the photo :)

Maryam's first encounter with snow

Since we will be moving out of Folsom area at the beginning of January, we thought to visit Lake Tahoe before that. So around the end of December 07, we took Maryam to see Lake Tahoe and in winter it's just a terrain of snow. Every where you look, all you see is snow: in the mountains, in the lake, in the tree, and even on the road. Lake Tahoe looked as two completely different worlds in summer and in winter. It’s a must see. If you live near by, you got no excuse to miss.

For Maryam, it was her first visit to Lake Tahoe @ Winter. But being only 9 months old she was no match for winter cold of a snow fall land. So we were concerned about that, but decided to give it a try anyway. So she got her thickest gear to meet winter. Obviously you wouldn't see her on those because she got a `unpack` just before we took a picture every time. That was a hassle, but hey she have to pose for the camera, right?

At one instant a funny thing happened. I have to tell you about that. Maryam was amused to see all these white stuffs lying on the land everywhere. She saw us wondering around on top of it, sometimes grab a hand full and play with it. Basically we were driving around, find a good scenic spot, park the car, get out, take few pictures, wonder around for a while, then get back to car and headed for the next best spot. Seeing this over and over, she now wants her fare share of it. She would like to grab some of these white stuffs. Denied by her mom, she starts crying or that's what we thought :) So we decided to give her a chance: her first encounter with the third kind! Well ice cold snow in this case. But we did our homework i.e. making the car hot enough. Finally Joya unpack Maryam little bit and put her to stand on snow, WOW! You should see Maryam's face! Our camera missed it. Luckily we didn't. Maryam make her most-strange face: like what the h..., it's like this? We both laugh and took her back to warmth in the car. She was like, yeah, I better watch them from the car! No wonder I see no kids playing on the white stuff they call snow!

Maryam: Baby Maryam @ 8 months 2 day

Our little Maryam is 8 months 2 days old. She is playing in her ExerSaucer. She was having lots of fun. But as soon as the camera starts rolling, she kept quiet. At the end, she became very curious about the source of the music. It was from her mom's cell phone which by the way she likes more than anything. Later, after we said "Cut", she did go to look for the source and discovered the cell phone playing her favorite songs in iTunes.

My wife, Joya, and I knew that’s what she is up to. So when Maryam found the phone and start playing with it, we both laughed.


Here you can have a sneak peak.




Ok, so you probably didn’t believe me when I said she was playing with the iTunes, and how much she loves it. Here is another sneak peak on what happened after that.

Maryam’s first Eid

Maryam’s first Eid
10/13/07

Today is Eid day. Maryam’s very first. Maryam wake up in early morning. Her mom got busy cooking all kind of special food for Eid & getting ready to hosting guests. Maryam went to Eid Prayer with dad. She enjoyed all of it until everyone stand up and start actual praying. May be because every one suddenly stands up and imam was reciting Quran very loud, so she gets scared and start crying. But she definitely loved the party out side of MCA mosque after the prayer. She even wanted to have a bite of the somucha, but she wasn’t given that because she is too young. Instead she got a balloon and she loved it.

Through out the day, even through she have no idea what’s going on, she had lots of fun. Especially when other kids came to visit our home, she enjoyed the company.
