Jehan's Besta (Sitting Ceremony)

The sitting ceremony is supposed to be done before the baby is seven months old. They make the baby sit on some really sticky candy. The idea is that the baby's butt sticks to the candy and helps him sit well from then on. At least, that's what they say. I suspect there's really some other significance I don't know about. I think it really worked though. The next day he started correcting himself whenever he started to tip over.

He wasn't too excited when we started.

Once he got the flowers he decide that maybe it wasn't too bad.

He was completely fixated on the flowers. The little square things he's sitting on are the candy. We didn't actually unwrap it :)

The coconut made a big mess on the floor. It was yummy!

Afterwards, we went to see one of Firdosh's friends who has a 3 1/2 month old baby. She's so cute and little! I've already forgotten how to hold a baby that small.


The next day we went downtown and saw the back of the Taj hotel. We didn't get closer because the road was blocked and there was a huge crowd.



When we got home, Jehan started getting up on all fours and rocking.



He was so excited! He'll be crawling any day now. Hopefully not until we get back to Utah.



We had dinner for Firdosh's family at a chinese restraunt for Jehan's sitting ceremony. It was great to see everyone!
