Here with his 5 month old cousin Zohaib. I promise Aneesa and I did not plan the outfits. We packed in different states, but Carter's style knows no state boundaries. ;)
So Deenie is now 9 months old today, and the one thing...or maybe 2 things that I can say stand out right now. We have had 2 and a half days of a pretty clear complexion (MA). Not clear clear, but clear for Deen, which is not that red. And he has turned a corner from being fine playing on his own, even if we are in an adjacent room, to crying the minute we even turn away from him. My feet cannot point in another direction, before he starts wailing. And the minute I pick him up, which is still no more than before, he buries his forehead into my neck and holds on tight, like he has not seen me if ages. He does this to Waseem too.
I wonder if part of it is being over sensitized with family this summer. We went to MD this weekend, and it was even a little much for me, since my sis-in-laws in-laws were also in town. That equals a crap load of people.
I also think he is use to his sister and cousin being around. They drove me nuts for 4 weeks, but they kept his entertained and ambitious to follow them around the house. So I am glad they are in school, and he is missing everyone! Poor baby! What will happen when I go back to work? My heart will break! I don't think Safah was this clingy. Well I know she wasn't. She could play for hours on her own. I had to check on her to make sure she was fine because she was so quiet. Of course she is not quiet now...or ever! ;)

wow - lil deenie-bear is already 9 months - mashallah - he is so precious - with a mama and papa like y'all - can ya blame the kid for being so attached?! :o)
9 mos - time flies! You're scaring me with his being so attached though :) Shaan is quite attached and I am hoping my second will be more brave and more independent. I guess it will depend somewhat on if I let her have the space to be that way :)
Congrats on the little ones growing up so fast...Now, if we could just figure out how to slow them down a bit! First day of kindergarten is still 15 days away for us...can't come quick enough and yet, I was content with his being in preschool.
