Mama Bha

So daddy’s aunt (my mama bha) came to visit me from India. That same weekend bha, dada, natasha foi, mugi kaka and stuti foi also came over. We had a blast, including celebrating dada’s birthday. Here are some pics…

 

International Man of Mystery

So I made my first trip out of the country…yup that’s right I am an international jetsetter. I went with mom and dad to Greece. Thatha and Ajji met up with us over there from India. We had a blast. Mom and dad were so afraid of the plane flight…but I was such a good boy on the plane. Our first stop was Athens. We went to the Acropolis, Temple of Olympian Zeus, and the Plaka. We had an amazing dinner on a roof deck terrace that overlooked the Acropolis. The view was great…but I wasn’t a fan of the food. While everyone else was enjoying all the food in Greece…I went on a hunger strike. I barely ate. Now that I have been back for a week, I am making up for all the lost calories.

Then we headed to Santorini. What a beautiful place. It was great. Because the streets in Fira were cobblestone streets with tons of staircases, mom and dad had a hard time maneuvering the stroller. When they decided to leave the stroller at the hotel, I got to spend a lot of quality time in mom and dad’s arms. They complained a lot about back and shoulder pain because they had to carry me everywhere but I am not that heavy…I am only thirty pounds. What is the big deal? The sunsets in Santorini were the best.

Our final destination was Mykonos. The place was magnificent. I was a swimming fool there. Loved the hotel pool and also hung out at the beach. I wish we could have stayed there longer.

The best part of the whole trip was hanging out with Thatha and Ajji. I wish they didn’t live so far away

 

Umesh and Paru’s wedding

Another weekend and another great wedding – Uncle Umesh got married. I got dressed up in my Indian gear to celebrate this auspicious occasion. A bunch of mommy’s law school friends came into town including Aunty Sasha came in from Kansas and Aunty Julie and Uncle Song came in from Cali. All in all it was a great weekend.

 

Temperamental Artist

So mom thought it would be a good idea for me to enroll in an art class. I understand that she always wanted to be the next Van Gogh, but hey she cannot try to live her dreams through me. This art class is a joke. First we have free time. They put a bunch of crayons on a table with scrap paper for us to draw what we like. Well, I much prefer throwing all the crayons on the floor. I think this is hilarious while mom is mortified. Then the art teacher makes us sit in a circle and tells us about our art project for the day. Personally, I don’t believe in structured art…a true artist like me needs to be free…if I want to paint myself and mom instead of the paper, so be it. I also don’t understand why mom stresses so much because all the other kids sit so nicely and follow instructions and I can’t still to save my life. And when you don’t let me paint the way that I want to paint…I AM going to throw a temper tantrum. Thank god the classes are over. Check out some of the pics from class and my drawings…

 

Pajama Jam

 

So we had a going away party for Aunty Sasha (aka la-la).  We also celebrate mommy’s birthday.  It was a blast.  So many kids at the house and we were partying well into the night.  It was getting late and mom and dad wanted me to go to sleep but I wanted to turn the party into a pajama jam party.  Check out me and my buddy Caden styling in our pj’s.  I had no idea we had the same taste in our sleep attire.

Here are some more pics from the party and from this past month…

Hiatus Over

Sorry guys for not updating the blog in a while. In all honesty, it is not my fault. Mommy got really sick last month and to top things off she lost the charger to the camera. Thank God she finally found it and now we are back in business.

So this past month, we had a lot of family in town, we went to Jeet’s graduation, had a lot of playdates and birthday parties. I have also learned to pull down my pants, I don’t know how to get them back on again. I am starting to group words together like “all done” and “papa over there.” All in all life is good.

Here are a couple pics that mommy took today. I will upload the rest from this past month soon.

 

My Poor Ears and Michigan Recap

Sorry guys that it has taken so long to update the blog to tell you all about my fabulous trip to Michigan. I have been under the weather with my first ear infection. It was miserable. I came back from Michigan on Monday. That night I woke up screaming. Mom and dad couldn’t figure out what was wrong with me. The next day my nanny noticed that I was just out of it. By the evening I was running a temperature of 102.6. The following day I was even worse. Mom took me to the pediatrician and he diagnosed me with a bilateral ear infection. He put me on some antibiotics – which is the nastiest tasting medicine ever. It takes two people to get me to take this medicine. On the other hand, I love the taste of Tylenol. I could down a whole sippy cup of that stuff.

Now that I am feeling a lot better and my fever is gone, I can tell you guys all about my trip to Michigan. We had two weddings to go to – Nirav Uncle’s and Sheetal Aunty’s. Instead of flying back and forth for both wedding we decided to spend the week in Michigan. I got to spend a lot of quality time with Ba, Dada and Masi Ba. Natasha Foi and Shitang Kaka also came to visit. From playing in the park, going to Dada’s country club and trying to play golf, going to the library, and dancing my tail off at the wedding events, I couldn’t have asked for a better week. Here are some of my favorite pics and a slide show of all the fun.

 

18 Months and Mother’s Day

Can you believe it…I am a year and a half old!!! Where has the time gone?

As usual I had to go to the pediatrician for a well checkup. He said I was doing great. He was happy with my vocabulary and my growth. Some of my new words this week include Erna for Ernie and umbrella.

The pediatrician did, however, notice that I was starting to get an overbite because I was still drinking my milk from a bottle and using my pacifier at night. He said it had to stop. In all honesty, I don’t know what the big deal is with having an overbite…I can just get braces in a few years.

Well here are my stats…it seems that I have had quite a growth spurt.

Weight: 26lbs 4oz (60th percentile and I have gained 1 lbs 7 oz lbs from my last visit)
Height: 34.5 inches (95th percentile and I have grown 1.5 inches).
Head Circ.: 18.875 inches (50th percentile and up 0.375 inches).

Last weekend was also Mother’s Day. I know how mama likes to sleep in. I initially got up at 7AM but then went back to sleep until 9AM. Mama was so happy to get some extra sleep. Mama had also been wanting a new wallet. So me and daddy picked one out for her and she loved it. The rest of the day we just took it easy.
