Amina M. Ainashe

Too soon to worry about “Make-Up”? Well, not for Amina it seems!

Dad please come here! I think I cracked some of the Codes already!

Amina took a break from playing with toys. She seems in deep thought trying to to crack the “Da Vinci Code”

Amina enjoying herself with mum!

Smilling

Amina enjoying herself with mum!

Amina testing the strength of her punch …As it turned out, she is punching the wrong cheek!

Amina with Mum, apparently, she is looking at a bottle of milk hidden deep below!

Welcome to my website. I am five months old and this is my website!

Food and facial Cream… What’s the difference? Well, looks the same to me!

Amina seems to be confusing food with “facial Cream”….

Messy? Well, I could not wait for either Mum or Dad to feed me so I had do it myself! Blame Dad!

Oooh? I wonder what Dad is cooking? Could it be “Sweet Potatoes”?

Amina is only five months old but Mum is puttinng her on “fast track” by teaching her how to walk!
Impressive huh?

Is the cold weather creeping into the Common Wealth of Virginia? Well, feels that way to me…!

This red monkey is my favorite toy. However, I wonder why his tail is so green?

Am I supposed to eat this Dad?

Amina became four months old earlier this month (September 3, 2005). The following are some of the pictures taken during that occasion.

Mom wispering on Aminas ears and telling her to smile for the camera. Amina does not seem to be paying much attention!

HAPPY Mom with her trademark; BIG smile!

Amina pretending to be Laila Ali- (the doughter of the GREATEST boxing legend and civil rights activist Mohamed Ali). Well, I am not sure about the hat though!

Yeah, the bottle looks too heavy for me but I managed to drink my milk from it anyway.

My teeth are coming out and thanks to unc le Abdirahman who bought me this toy and many others… I promise not to bite him when my teeth are fully grown and strong!

Amina longing for “Hilib Geel” and using this as a “Danni kugu qabatay” subsititute!

Amina guarding her milk gently and pondering on how she could remove the cap from the bottle! As Amina seems to have discovered, life brings lots of challenges along the way even when you are at this age!

Amina became three months old on August 3, 2005. Here are some photos taken for the occasion.

Are you done Dad? …………………My neck hurts!

As you can see, this picture was “aranged”. Amina was not into it!

Mum, I can’t open my mouth: I am teething you know!

Look Mum! I can sit on my own

Amina on the couch pretending to be watching SponGeBob SquarePants on the TV.

Amina enjoying herself on her bouncer! She looks like she is ignoring (and rightly so) the amateur photographer taking her pictures!

Amina pretending changing the TV channels… She approvingly raised her finger when she saw SponGeBob SquarePants running on the Nickelodeon children’s Channel.

Amina arrives at home. Here she is in a deep sleep. Probably wondering about the noisy world she born into.

Here is Amina in a full car seat gear ready to be transported home for the first time. The hospital patient tag is still on her wrist. I admit this was probably the hardest driving trip that I ever made! It was a very humbling experience for Mr. Speeding Hurry

Few hours before “Mamma” Kadija and Amina were to be released from the Hospital. She is about three days old.

Amina in a baby crib at the Sibley Hospital; She is jus a day old.

Honey, this is IT….. I am calling the Ambulance! Just minutes before we had to rush to Sibley Memorial Hospital in Washington, DC. May 2, 2005 around 4PM.

Mum to be with loads of Diapers

Daipers Everywhere! Diaper change is an ART that we have to master…….

Aduunyow xaalkaa be’… we using diapers as a decorations!

Mum and Dad in good old days. They were getting ready for their wedding reception at Dubai Intercontinental. November 2003. Dr. Said Yasin took this picture, he was the “bestman”!
