Yayyyyy! I just booked my flight to Seattle. Im taking Butterball to see his Tata Maggie! Now who else is going to get their booties up there?

ME! ME! ME! I'll be there and I can't wait to meet my Maggiecakes & Gabicakes and squeeze some Butterball! :dance: I'm excited also to be meeting Olivia & Rajaa along w/ a bunch of other folks from OT (that's other territories)

Got a fat cheek set aside for ya

nawal, i feel the same way...what id give to squeeze mehdis cheeks!

Well come on! Ill reserve a cheek for you

Got two (butt) cheeks left. Any takers?

*peep*

Yayyyyy! I just booked my flight to Seattle. Im taking Butterball to see his Tata Maggie! Now who else is going to get their booties up there?

Butterball and I are also headed to the Seattle meetup. If that's not a reason to pack your bags, then I dont know what is

wow, 22 lbs at 4 months!!!! Ill say hes about 25.5 at his 6 month appt!!!

LOL round about. Ill willing to start the wagers, his appt is next week.

Ohhhh gabi, I love it, I could just stare at the little guys pics! Its hard to believe Mehdi is only 2 months older than zaid, I feel like you had him soooo much earlier than that...Its good to hear nursing is goin well..how mnay lbs is the little man up to these days?

Heh, at last check up for 4 months, he weighed 22 pounds. Havent weighed him since, because we dont have a reliable scale (maybe I should try the PO). He's wearing 9-12M size clothes LOL. Ive gone through almost all the hand-me-downs and gift clothes I got at my baby shower.

Its hard for me to believe he's almost 6 months old. Time flies.

Awww, what a sweet and cute baby boy!!!

This is the best time to enjoy our children when they are still babies!

I agree. I never imagined Id get this much time to spend with him. Even with the suprise barfs, poop soup, and ear-splitting screams, Im loving every minute because you never get this time back.

HAHA! His face in the pool is awesome! And I love his eyelashes!

He gets it from his daddy, and everyone comments on it. When the two of them are looking face to face, all you see is giant lashes.

He has really lived up to his early promise of butterball-ness. he's super duper cute.

Have you picked out their wedding colors yet? Got my 100 goats ready to trade.

He's become a serious lady-killer. He loooooooooves ladies, even perfect strangers.

Your son is so cute! Just love fat little chunky babies ... wanna eat them up! Bless him really! =) ANd BTW I love your milk avatar!

Feel free to steal it (the avatar, not the baby, LOL). It was the only one I could find that was better than ol Preggasaurus Rex. It's my incentive to keep nursing.

Gabi, those pics just made my day...Ive been asking for you left and right...Mehdi is getting sooooo big...I L-O-V-E the last picture...what a chunker...and i dont know if its just me but it seems like his skin lightened soooo much...

You and butterball were missed!

sorry to hear about USCIS

Yeah, I think he's gotten a little lighter. But he's still wayyyyy darker than me. And of course Ahmed has turned into the colonel's secret recipe this summer.

Sorry to hear about the problems with USCIS, but man is that one chunky baby. He is SO cute!

I see yours likes the suds too

haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa i love that pic with the boys in the pool !!! his facial expression is absolutely priceless! Has he asked for tata amal yet? I know he misses me hehehe. We totally need to get together again (and soon) before buttaball grows up on me. He is just adorable!!!!

amal

Yes, he's upset that there's no one to discuss quantum level mechanics with. He's settling for peek-a-boo.

LMFAO x20000!

You totally made my husband's day there.

Well well missy where have you been? We were all in a ruffle around here wondering 'bout you! Good to see you.

jJ

Had a very full plate. We moved out to West Texas to live with my folks for awhile because things were falling apart money-wise. I dont always get alot of internet time, so Im seriously slacking on my posting. I miss the pineapple peeps.

We've been here for about 6 weeks and its nice, but Ill be glad to have our own place again. Ahmed's EAD was approved at the beginning of July, but we still havent gotten the card. On top of that we got some ridiculous RFE on his AOS that was chock-full of errors:

Letter dated in March with a postmark in August on the envelope

Misspelled name

Wrong address

Request for I-864 that we already gave

Request for his criminal record from an arrest in Austin in 1992 (this is the stupidest one, he was 14 then and never even came to the US before 2007)

Request for more info on his sponsor, a Raymunda Something-Or-Other (definitely not my name, and Im his only sponsor)

Oh and it was cc'd to an attorney we've never heard of. In fact I couldnt even find that attorney on the net, and we didnt even use an atty for his AOS case. That is, until now.

The only thing they did get right was his A#. So allllllll that garbage is being associated with his A#. As you can imagine, we've had our hands full with that. Just one more ridiculous twist in our AOS mess. Now I know why I removed all that timeline mess from my siggy. Its depressing to see how many mistakes we've fallen victim to.

Anywho, enjoy the thread I started for baby pics. Doodle said everyone was suffering from butterball withdrawl, so I figured Id better act quickly before someone started frothing at the mouth.

WOW that is one cute baby! He truly did steal his daddy's face. Thx for sharing. We were truly sending out the Pineapple Posse for you.

Jackie

How is the Posse these days? Still climbing the romper room walls?

Ive miss everyone here. Things have been so busy. And you would not believe the garbage USCIS has thrown our way. Ugh.

*peep*

He is sooooooooo cute and I want to pinch his cheeks and bite them...ohhhhhhhhhhh

Mashallah

They're ripe for picking. If you squeeze them just right when he laughs he makes an "A-gah-gah-gah" sound like Mr. Crabs from Spongebob.

Someone said that Mr. Moroccan Butterball was much missed, so here I am to give everyone their fix. Let's see some more babies in this thread

Daddy and Baby at the Park

Camo Baby

Chewing on the Clipper Cord During Haircut

First Swim and Hates Cold Water

At the Park

Oh my, seriously I LOLed @ your pics! I love his non-chalant expression which is identical in the first and second pics. Also, totally love his Kid n' Play bubble-cut.

LMFAO @ Kid n Play. I hadnt thought of that when I took the pic, but now that you mention it....

so I just thought I would make it clear, that I absolutely love getting pooped on with explosive poopies at 6am oh the joys...

Rockin' the poop soup here too.

I CANT wait for Taleen to be born, shes spoken for, sorry guys, her and Zaid share zarqa blood..

Hey, double wedding! Me n Sara have Amirah betrothed to Mehdi for 100 pineapples and a case of Godiva choccies.

Here's another piccie for everyone to enjoy. Got Woot?

He is one handsome little guy!!! I love the bubble head pic!! Happy Thursday everybody I need to get to bed I have to get up in a few hours!!

Oh yeah! We loved taking those bathtub pics today. We were in the jacuzzi and he just looooooooves bubbles. Ahmed dumped a pile of suds on Mehdi's head and it wiggled and jiggled with every little movement. I laughed myself silly.

Okay, I know Im an hour early, but I just couldnt wait to start a new thread and share these brand-spankin' new pix of da butterball. Enjoy!

And the gifts keep pouring in...........

I see Melinda learned the fine art of posting pics yea!

Pin the sperm....

I love that one too, but most of all the Pooh basket. Gabi make a note!!

Duly noted Ive got some Pooh crib bedding waiting for you. Now hurry up and give me a reason to send it!

JP, sorry I missed the shower. Im not on my regular comp, so I dont have any cute pics for you, but I wish for Taleen perfect health and happy home.

~The cat came back, the very next day. The cat came back and wouldnt stay away~

gabi!!! girl I miss you too much. How R u? I hope we can talk soon. How's buttaball doing?

Im usually on in the late evenings. We're still getting unpacked and settled, so my daytime surfing hours are pretty limited.

Little Mr Moroccan Butterball weighs a whopping 22 pounds now and is almost sitting up on his own. He's enjoying having 4 adults around to cater to his every baby whim.

nawal...im a fan of huggies supremes...zaids poops leak thru every other diaper ive tried!!!

LOL...I will have to try them....Hazem insists on the one w/ the "pee detector" LOL I think he's afraid he might miss a time to change a baby! LOL The pampers do smell good though! I love that baby powder smell so much

Luvs has a nice powdery smell, and they are usually less expensive. They also do a good job of containing those exploding poops. I do love Pampers, but they're so expensive. Mehdi wears a size 3 now and the larger the diaper, the fewer to a package

Lets see those humps folks. I havent seen a camel in eons, even if I am living in the desert now.

Guess who's back? And what better day than Caturday!

Well it didnt turn out to be anything very exciting. It was our NOA1 for the EAD which was sent certified mail via the lawyer, who got it from USCIS. Another example of miscommunication via telephone. *Sigh* Hope everyone enjoyed the suspense.

Wow! No, I never received anything via certified mail from them. I hope it's good news!

nope that is not normal, hope it is good news and not bad news.

Has anyone else ever gotten anything from USCIS via certified mail while waiting on AOS? We've gotten alot of correspondence from them during this whole mess, but never anything certified. We have to wait until Monday to pick it up from the P.O., but Im dying to know what on earth they've decided needed to be certified.

Im crossing my fingers, but not holding my breath. We've had so many problems in the past, Im almost out of hope. However, the last time we talked to a field officer, they were currently reviewing Ahmed's case as of 4/14 with the additional info we sent in. Plus we filed for his EAD a week or two ago. So it could be NOA1 for the EAD, or their final decision on the AOS.

Wishing all the best sister..... and i can imagine how fun it will b moving next to Amal becoz Amal u sound so active n funny i like that

Hanging out w/amal is quite a treat

don't ya'll ever sleep?

I have a 3 month old child. What's sleep?

((I'm just speechless on this one))

This is by far my favorite kitty picture. It was my avi a long time ago on another site

Looks like a chick I used to work with.

For some stupid reason this comp at mom's house wont let me upload any pics to photobucket. So lets just pretend Im putting some killer funny pics here

Maybe later I can get some pics of mom's cat running away from the baby. Cleo (the cat) is wicked pizzed about the baby being in 'her' house. She rides the wall when passing the baby. I actually saw her run sideways yesterday in an attempt to scoot out of the house. This evening she came to sit on the sofa with us and was visibly annoyed that the baby and I were in 'her' spot. She sat on the arm of the sofa and practically mashed a dent in the wall in her attempt to put distance between herself and us.
