Soccer!

Bijan got a new soccer goal from Grandpa Al and he loves it- especially when he and Akbar play this game. They line their balls up, kick on the count of three and see who gets a goal, usually they both get a goal and Bijan often hits the center target!

Mother's Day

I had such a great Mother's Day as I got to spend the day with my Mom and my boy. We went to HB for the day and headed for the beach- we were all fully clothed as Bijan NEVER goes in the ocean water (and it was not a hot day). However today Bijan decided he wanted to go for a swim and he just plunged in the ocean and didn't look back. I did manage to get his wet clothes off and get a swim diaper and suit on him but the rest of us were out of luck!

Spotting an airplane...
Walking on the beach with Gram...
Getting crazy in the water...
Being rescued from a wave by Daddy (although he did go under twice when a couple little waves got him).
Later that day back in the water at Gram's house!

My piggy bank...

Bijan received this special gift from his cousin Greer- it is a soccer ball piggy bank that she painted for him. Here is Bijan learning to put his money in the slot... Thanks Greer!



Everyone loves a parade...

We recently had fun at the local Conejo Valley Days parade. We went with Bijan's "girlfriend" Anya and her brother Ben- Bijan adores them both. We were all amazed that the kids loved the parade and actually watched the whole thing!

Moving in for a kiss!

Nap Time

Bijan likes to pretend to take a nap- he will get his favorite blanket (thanks Sarah!) and a pillow and lay down just about anywhere and make snoring sounds. He thinks this is very funny!

And sometimes he actually falls asleep playing- here he is sleeping in the swing in our yard. He was trying so hard to stay awake and his eyes were heavy and kept closing- then he would open them and look at me with a grin and say "I sleeping" until he finally was out for good.


Saying goodbye

Bijan has been attending "school" part-time two days a week since he turned 1 year- and he loves all his friends and teachers there. It is time for him to move to a new school for bigger kids and it has been a sad transition saying goodbye to all his old friends. Here he is saying goodbye to his teachers...
