My first Christmas

Hi Everyone,

I am back quickly to tell u all about my first christmas. It was a lot of fun. I have received plenty of gifts from friends and family alike and I thank them all. Me and Anay both got up early and opened up our presents quickly. We got several presents and pictures from the opening ceremony are still in the camera, but they will make there way here soon.

I spent rest of the day doing my usual stuff, sleeping, eating, playing with my toys, rolling, scooting, and the other stuff :). In the evening, my mommy's friend Aarthi and her husband Sriram came by to visit us. We all had food and I had fun smiling and shying with them.

Anyway, that is a short summary of my first christmas. Wish you all a merry christmas, happy new year, and a very happy and healthy holidays.

My sweet 6th Month

Hello Everyone,

After a long time.. hmm... I know, I have been very busy playing these days, so didn't get a chance to update my post. Anyway.. story about my 6th month. This month was full of fun, lot of stuff to learn and enjoy, eat different different food. Yummy Yummy. I eat banana, pears, carrots, formula, rice cereal, apple, little bit of chocolate and ice cream and even some spinach. I also love nibbling on the cookies.

I have also been playing a lot with my brother Anay. Its been a lot of fun. He is still small, but we look at each other and I like to pull out his gloves and socks :). I also wake him up so we can play :).

Now, I can rotate whole circle on my tummy. My main toys are my hands and legs. I put my leg toe into my mouth, You know I am so much flexible. I can hold even a small thing now. I keep talking all day. Mainly, AA, UUU etc. My best play time is taking a bath. I splash water and play with my water toys. Dad sings a song for me splish, splah, I was taking a bath. I have been eating different things.

I have also been traveling. I made two trips with my parents out to Mountain View/ Sunnyvale/Redwood City area. You see we are looking to move there, so I am helping scout out rental and buying properties. I have visited at least 20 properties and have stayed in three different hotels. Oh and had long stays in car seat.

I started scooting on my stomach in addition to circling. I have been scooting backwards for about a week, but I started scooting forward yesterday. Finally out to pictures. Here is part 1 of the pictures.

November 2008

Hi Everyone,

A ton of stuff today to talk about. I have been eating a ton of stuff, carrots, green beans, parle-g, and even ice cream :). I like it all bring on more food!! I have also been trying to play with my new buddy Anay!! Check out both of our pictures together.

I also made my first long trip in car to Mountain View to see rental apartments for us. I liked the trip as I got to stay at different places with mommy and pappa, but staying the car seat for a long time was not fun. Here are a very very few pics from the trip.

There are also ton of other pictures of me doing fun stuff like playing in gym and my new favorite time the bath time!! More on my November in couple days when mommy finds some time to write up stuff!!

Week 20: more pictures and fun

Hi Everyone,

My dad finally got some pictures uploaded for the last week. So, here is the link to the last weeks pictures. They include pictures that my ba took and also some from my first trip that my dad finally got around to moving from the camera. Also, there are pictures of the rangoli that my mommy did for me on diwali using grains!! Oh well my energy is running low, where is my applesauce when I need it :(.

New baby brother and other firsts

I have a new baby brother. His name is Anay (checkout his pics). He is really small and cute. I like to look at him and smile at him. He looks at me too. Man it will be so much fun when we both are a little bigger and can run around and do stuff together!!

In addition to typing I have been doing a ton of new stuff. So, here are some details. I am now eating apple sauce freshly made by ba and mummy. I had the apple sauce first time on November 7th. Since then I have the rice cereal with my morning feeding and apple sauce in the evening feeding. Its great. The sugar in the apple sauce gets me very active. I make a lot of noises and move around my arms and legs a lot.

I am also starting to love playing around when I take a bath. Now I splash my hands a lot. When the water gets on my face due to splashing, I get a little shocked, but its soooooooo much fun. I also grab my rubber toys in the water and play with them. In particular the blue hippo tends to get into my hands a lot. I also grab the yellow butterfly often.

I am growing very quickly. We checked my height and I am already past my mom and dad's knees. I bet I am gaining lot more weight too :). Oh well more on me and my brother when I wake up again...

Famous first words!!

Hi everyone,

Here is my first post on my own blog typed by me :). Read on...

My first Diwali, mummy's birthday, and Chaachu is a Ph.D.

Boom... Boom... eeeeeeeeeeeeirrrrr. No that's not me typing. I am just trying to imitate sounds from last two weeks. The large cracks of firecrackers on Diwali (I wish) and the ghostly sounds of halloween. So, wish you all a very happy new year (yes it may not be a new year for u, but for gujjus it is a new year) and belated happy halloween.

My last two weeks have past in a blur. I have had my first interaction with this ugly thing called cold and cough. Misa not happy about that at all. Closed nose and snizzing are not for little kids you know. I have tough time sleeping as I have to breath through my mouth instead of my nosey. Not fun. On the bright side I am getting a little better, so hopefully I will leave that stuff behind soon.

It was mommy's birthday on Diwali day!!!! Happy birthday to mommy..cha cha cha.. Since mommy can't eat regular cake, we made her a cake from bread, potato, and carrots, yummy and healthy too!! You can check out pics of her cutting cake and getting presents in this weeks pictures link at the bottom of this post. Mommy got a poster of me and a t-shirt with me and mommy on it as presents.

My chaachu also defended his thesis on new year's day and did really well. Yey...my chaachu is dr now!! Way to go chaachu! Chaachu and chaachi will soon bring me my little brother/sister too. So misa will be super happy you know!!

In terms of my progress now I measure the size of the room by rolling across the whole room. My grandma struggles to put enough comforters below me to make sure that I don't roll on to floor. I still love going out in my stroller. I have also grown considerably. Lot of my old cloths don't fit me so I have a bunch of new cloths!! Remind my dad of that advertisement...Yeh hai badhata bachha dekho kaisi kud lagaaye, yeh hai badhata bachha kapada chhota padata jaaye!! I am also talking a lot more these days, but still no words. I am also getting ready to have teeth and am drooling a lot. I love my gym. Even when I am with someone I look at my gym to see if they will just put me in their. I like to listen to the music and play with my friends.

To roll over now I grab my foot with my hands and yell aaaaaaa...then roll!! I keep trying to put my foot in my mouth and I have succeeded a few times too.
