True Love!

Akbar took Bijan to the park on Saturday while I was still working on my paper and they ran into Anya. Bijan and Anya usually spend time together at least 3-4 times a week, but since I have been working on my paper it has been a couple of weeks. They really missed each other and were so happy to have some time together. Anya fed Bijan some of her snacks and he followed her around all over smiling and saying "Anya"- it is so cute to watch them together...

Family Fun

Bijan's Gram came to help out so I could go to the library everyday and work on my Master's comprehensive paper- and they had a blast (I, however, did not)! He and Gram went all over town doing fun activities. Unfortunately, there are not too many pictures because I wasn't there to take them, but here are a few...

Here are Gram and Bijan at our favorite farm, Underwood- This was on a Sunday so Akbar was able to go as well.

Akbar's cousin Bahram (on the right) was visiting from Canada and his other cousin, Nemo who lives in nearby Sherman Oaks came for dinner. Bijan really enjoyed bonding with the boys.
Saying goodbye to Gram at the train station. We all cried and Bijan still says at least once a day, "I Miss Gram...bye bye train." How lucky we are- Thanks Gram!

Fire Truck!

Driving the fire truck at the Westlake Village street fair. It was a very hot day as you can see by Bijan's red cheeks and sweaty head!

Wrestling with Daddy in the shade

A Day at the Beach

Now that the weather is turning hot we like to go hang on the beach with Bijan's friends as often as we can- We all go early so the beach is empty and beautiful...
Bijan with his buddy Anthony and his Mom Natasha... Bijan loves to say "Tasha!" when he sees her.

The boys, Lawson, Bijan and Anthony, all spread out exploring
Lawson and Bijan- Feeling the sand in their toes

Soccer Boy!

Bijan's blogspot was originally inspired by his Cousin Lucy's blogspot and when they started adding video we were inspired again! So here is our first attempt... Thanks Lucy!

Bijan and Daddy love to play soccer together and Bijan is getting very good- he actually aims the ball. You can hear him say "I kick" and "my turn" in this short clip.

Playing at "My Gym"

We went to an indoor play space called My Gym to meet some friends and play. Here are Bijan and Anya getting ready to tackle the tunnel...



Bijan loved the trampoline- here he is jumping on it with Anya.

Tunnels!

Bijan's new favorite thing is tunnels- he says "I want tunnel!" So wherever we go he finds tunnels in his environment. Here he is in the backyard finding tunnels and making tunnels with Daddy (Akbar got the saw out and made some "tunnels" in the bushes/trees).
