6/2/2008 I feel like I have a toddler already!! Fayed is pulling himself up on everything and it just takes him a few seconds. Even if I put him in a room with nothing in it, just walls, he will pull himself up on the wall somehow. He's a very strong baby! The weather is getting nicer just in time - I'll be able to take him outside to use up all his energy. Yesterday we went to visit grandma Johnson and had a fun time in the backyard.
5/14/2008 Fayed is officially 6 months old now!! I can't believe how fast the time has gone by. He gets around all over the place on his tummy and its not safe to leave him alone for a minute or he'll get himself into some kind of trouble. He tries to reach up and climb onto everything: couches, the TV, the headboard of the bed. We have slowed down with the new solids; after he found out what food was and got to have it himself, he hasn't been as interested. He's not really interested in any toys meant for babies - he just wants to have whatever we have now (TV remotes, glasses, pop cans, books, etc.).
4/24/2008 Fayed went to the Como Zoo last weekend with me, my mom, and my sisters. He slept through most of it, but I'm sure we'll go again soon. He also started eating food! He's always so interested in our food when we eat, we couldn't hold off any longer So far he's had bananas, sweet potatoes, pears, and avocados. He loves eating - almost too much! He's also rolling over from back to front any time we lay him on his back (I guess he doesn't like laying on his back), and he's in the very very early stages of crawling (but usually goes backwards at this point).
4/1/2008 I moved the website off of Googlepages and onto freewebs. Everything should work the same, but look nicer. Everything is going fine with Fayed. He's finally discovered his feet, and grabs them to take his socks off or put his toes in his mouth every chance he gets!
3/15/2008 We had our 4 month well-baby visit yesterday, and Fayed is doing well at 15 lbs and 28 inches (I'd say the measured wrong though, probably closer to 25-26")! He hasn't been sleeping that great the past week, but I think he's teething. He can hold his head up and almost sit on his own, and he's becoming more expressive and talkative every day.2/21/2008 Fayed is doing great - his new favorite thing is standing up and trying to "walk" around. He is so interested in everything and needs to see what is going on around him. He's a very wonderful, easy-to-please baby and loves to smile and is now laughing more as well.
2/1/2008 We're almost at the 3 month mark! Fayed is still growing great, and has discovered his hands! He loves to eat his hands, and he is much better at swatting at his hanging toys, or his mom's face, than he used to be. He's also more talkative, and although I'm sure he doesn't know what he's saying, I'm sure I heard a few real words in there! We tried daycare for a few days and it didn't work out at all - but he won't have to deal with that anymore, since I've decided to be a stay at home mom.1/3/2008 Fayed is really growing a personality of his own more and more every day! I'm taking tons of pictures to try to capture every thing - and also so I can get a picture of every outfit because he grows out of them so fast and they're so cute.
12/28/2007 Fayed is now almost 7 weeks old. He's a big boy, wearing mostly size 6-9 month clothes already! He can stand up on his own on the couch and look out the window, which he enjoys. He's still a wonderful baby - he usually goes to sleep for the night around 11 PM and wakes up at 6 AM - a nice stretch for mom. We even took the three hour drive to Houston to visit his grandparents last week, and he didn't fuss a bit.
