Thanksgiving & Christmas

Wow time sure does fly when you're having a good time. Davin turned 6 months on Dec 19th. He is such a happy boy and is learning so much. He is sitting up on his own, pushing hisself up from the floor and pushing hisself around in circles, rolling over, eating all varieties of solids and laughing and giggling all day. He is growning so fast. We had Thanksgiving at our house. That was hard work but Dana managed to pull it off. Christmas was fun. We had family over the week before Christmas and had pitures taken and spent Christmas Eve with Dana's family. Christmas day we visited family and friends then spent the remainder of the day with Aren's family. Davin opened all his presents and was more interested in eating the paper than what was inside. Later that night he enjoyed playing with all his new toys while mom and dad sat back and relaxed from the snowy winter drive around town. We love the holidays and are looking forward to the next year when Davin is older and able to do more.

Davin's firsts.

Davin is having the best time learning & experiencing new things. He met a few of his extended family from Iran on Aren's side in August and they visited again in December. We went to Lake Powell in Oct and he got to play in the water and had his first belly laugh. For Halloween we dressed him up as a Baseball player and went to a few parties. In Nov we went to Hanksville for a turkey shoot and Davin rode a horse with Aren. He loved it. He pulled on the reins and walk the horse. He has started eating solids and has tried sweet potatoes, bananas, & rice cereal. He's not a fan of sweet potatoes but we're still trying. He is learning to drink from a sippy cup and can almost roll over. He likes to put everything in his mouth and can grasp his toys. He is getting so big.

Lake Powell Sep. 30-Oct. 12 '08

We just purchased a share in a houseboat at Lake Powell this year. Wow, it is amazing. This is my first time on a house boat but Aren has been on a few before. He has been going to Lake Powell since he was 3 and I have been once before. Davin is 3 months old and absolutely loves being out on the lake. As we were driving around the lake looking for a place to park the boat Davin was watching out the door at the water. Atessa (Aren's sister) was playing with him and out came his first belly laugh. It was so cute. He had us all laughing the whole trip with his personality. This was Davin's first time playing water that wasn't in the tub. He wasn't sure what to think at first and he enjoyed it till his diaper got wet then he was done. We were there for almost 2 weeks. We love it there. Aren has even thought about building a house in St. George just so we can be closer and go as offten as we can. A few of our friends came the first week so did my brother, his girlfriend Dee Dee, my cousin Randi and her friend Malory. Aren's parent's and some of thier friends came the 2nd week. We took our powerboat and paddle boat and did a lot of laying out enjoying the sun and warm weather. We had a great time and can't wait to go back!

Davin Darius Zamani

Davin was born on June 19, 2008 @ 6:16 AM. I had been in labor for almost 2 hours before deciding to go to the hospital. Once we arrived Davin was born 45 min later. It was a pretty easy, natural delivery. Davin is a handful. He is full of smiles & laughter & is always wanting to play even when he is tired. Since he's arrived he has watched everything and everyone one around him with curiosity in his eyses. He's smart like his father & happy like his mother. Davin is already a lady's man & loves to flirt with girls. He's a quick learner & is always wanting to try new things. He'll make anyone smile with his big brown eyes and ear to ear smile. We are so greatful that he is a part of our family.
