Daddy'OWhat an exciting week. It seems like as soon as Zariyan turned 6 months, everything started to change.

He had a monumental week last week. He’s now really starting to crawl, he can make it across the room in under 30 seconds, which can also be a problem as yesterday we turned our backs for no more than 30 seconds while he was sitting on the bed, and sure enough crawled right over the edge and landed on his head. Ouch!

We took him on a hike in his new back-pack carrier to the top of Topanga Heights to see the view over LA, yikes, it’s something else to be packing 22 extra pounds up that mountain. 🙂

He’s been eating a lot of new solid foods, from guacamole to beans, chicken liver pate, and of course all the usual baby food. This lead to the inevitable “First Solid Poop”… ouch!

Oh, and he’s going potty on the toilet now, not every time of course, but after he get’s some of Mommy’s Milk, she usually sits him on the can for a few minutes and he instinctively knows what to do.

He just weighed in at 18.2 lbs yesterday and still 26 inches, but his thighs are getting huge!

We figure in another few weeks he’ll be able to start working part time for us as our paper shredding assistant as he always looking to chew on any paper he can get his hands on. LOL

I’ve managed to find a few spare minutes to find three great photos that show some of his great facial expressions. Enjoy!

Casting Call for Baby Z

Belly Casting for PregnancyMommy

This was literally Zariyan’s first Casting!

 

He had no choice but to get the Part. What a “Ham”.

 

This was quite the production. It took a total of 1.5 hours of being STILL. He did move and you can actually see it on the Cast as it comes out like little mounds here and there.

 

Now he will be able to not only see, but feel how big he stretched out his mama’s belly when he was nestled inside.

Sleepin’ On The J.O.B.

Baby PigletMy parents keep telling me that when I was little, I used to sleep all the time (hehe as if I’m not still little ;-)).

 

Well now I like to stay up all day long and keep them busy, they work too much and my new job with their company is to distract them from work (heheh). But it’s a lot of work and sometimes I just fall asleep, and that’s when they pull out the camera and take advantage of me by snapping off hundreds of photos. They think I’m not awake and don’t know what they’re doing…. gimme a break! Do you know how bright that thing flashes?!

My 2nd Casting Call

Baby PigletYippee!

 

Wow I’m 12 days old and what a world to be born into, so much love and light. It’s as though everything I do is new… every day I look forward to a world of changing events and “My Firsts” to experience.

 

Let’s see… what have we done so far in these first two weeks…

 

* I went peepee on my pappa
* I erupted a volcano (#2) on Auntie Wyatt’s lap
* I went to Hapuna beach on day two
* I had my first shower with mom and dad
* I got my first teddy from Paw Paw (Grandma #1)
* I had my first Salsa dance lession with G-Ma (Grandma #2)

 

Hmmm…. what else, I know there was more…

 

* Oh ya, I already did my newborn screening test
* My umbilical cord was cut 24 hours after my birth (also known as a Lotus Birth)
* And the Stump has already fallen off (can’t tell if it’s an iny or an outy)

 

Now, I had my first “Casting Call” when I was still in LA, but that’s another story for another day. So my puppa tells me that in the first 12 days they’ve already shot 472 photos (mostly of me of course) and he’s been staying up late at night sorting through them selecting the absolute cutest ones to post to the site. He should be done in the next day or two.

 

In the mean time he made a special photo of me in my mommy’s hands.

 

Enjoy!

Pig PenDaddy'OI think I read somewhere that parents tend to have this natural instinct to want to make changes and improvements to their home before the baby comes.

 

Well I remember reading it in my book (The Cave-Man’s Guide to Surviving Pregnancy), and thinking, oh no that won’t be me…

 

HA~! I was mistaken. We just painted our room and started to redecorate the pig pen so that our little oinker will feel comfortable and cozy.

 

Aside from the paint job, I guess we did some other remodeling of the house but that was more for the office. We managed to “Hard Wire” the entire facility which means full speed Internet in almost every room of the house. Yipee!

 

Oh and if you’re wondering how we picked the colors for the room, well I jokingly said, “Why not make them the same as the web site…”, and what do you know, mommy thought it was such a great idea we picked up the paint that day and PRESTO, we have purple and green walls.

Daddy'O… I say “Beyond the Matrix”…

 

So in a fast pased world where you are surounded by electronics, screens and gagetries… what will the children of the future be capable of? For those who don’t know about my Super Learning techiques, I can almost guarantee this little piglet is going to have a few new tricks to teach ol’daddy.

 

Most of you aren’t able to hang around at the office with us on a day-to-day basis, so I thought I’d take a quick photo to show you what we look at when we wake up and just before we go to sleep.

 

At the Office

 

You’ll notice that our little one will be surrounded by other little piggies everwhere he/she goes.

 

On that note, I’m off to catch a few quick winks, as they tell me they’ll be my last. hahahah
