Happy 1st birthday!!! :)

Vir, you turned 1 today!



This is a big milestone! I can't believe an year has gone by since you were born. Feels like yesterday when I had just gone for a checkup and was told that we should deliver the baby and I was so anxious and nervous. My mind was flooded was so much and then you were born and I fell in love, yet again!


You are such an adorable baby and I love you to bits! You were under weight when you were born but you have since then picked up and are healthy and strong!

I have to show you all that you've been doing that has left our mouths wide open and so proud of you...cimbing steps and chairs and tables!





You met Rohit Mamu and Isha Mami, who were visiting us from India!




You visited New Orleans for Thanksgiving and met Sumit Mamu and Aman Mami! We saw the thanksgiving parade and strolled through the French Quarters.














You and K had the best time enjoying the view from our room and playing! :)










That's all of 4 of us! So thankful for this family! :)



Usually you are up by 7:15 today, you decided to sleep in, I went to your room twice, Mariela came with balloons at 15 past 8 and you were still sleeping. When you finally woke up, we were all so excited and rushed to you to wish you. Kabir was excited to see if grew taller since you turned 1! :) Love, love, love the innocence! :)

You got lots of hugs and kisses from all wishes from all around the world and spent the time just playing with your balloons and gifts...blissful! :)












Today is such an exciting day! I can't believe my little boy is 1! :) You got your first hair cut today and later celebrated the big day with the family! Mamu and Mami are here too!! How exciting!! :)







 with the presents! Someone didn't get the memo for no gifts! :)



We are having a big party on Saturday the 13th and it's extra special, since we are celebrating two big milestones and two special people! Ammi and You!!! :)

We love you sweetheart!






I wish you the best of everything today and always! I wish you stay forever young, thoughtful, kind and humble.

I love you so much!!



Happy 1st birthday! :

Happy 11 months!

Hi, my not so little one! :) 11 months already! What's the rush?!? :)


Vir, you're definitely showing new traits and telling us that you are getting big! You are like Kabir's tail, going behind him wherever he goes and doing what he does! It's super cute! :)







Screaming continues at the pitch of your voice. Not sure why, but you do it a lot and then Kabir follows and I have to shut my ears! Please, please, please slow down and give your throat and my ears some rest.

You seem to have interest in music and instruments. You sit or stand and play the keys on the piano for a good amount of time.




This is how some weekend mornings look like at home. It's hilarious! :)




It's on my list to sign you up for the music program next year!

You now have 4 teeth! You love to eat and not just your food but also whatever we give you from our plates.

This past month, we had our best friends visit us from London. We met after 7 years but it didn't feel that way at all. That's Meenu massi!




You were the cutest Elmo this halloween! Kabir and you went trick or treating together in the evening and you were so good the entire time, even though it got a little late for you.




Since that evening, you have made attempts to get your hands on the halloween candy! :) Just a couple more years of wait, before you can taste! :)



It was Diwali this past month too and we celebrated by dressing you up in Indian clothes and doing a simple pooja at home. It was your first! :)





We also celebrated Tikka! Kabir of course didn't want Tikka on his forehead but was very interested in the present he was going to get and the one that you were going to get! :)




You can now stand without support but for just a few seconds. You are also walking while pushing. You are doing a lot more of it now and much more confidently.


Your grip is great, today you held my finger, while we sat across from each other and were swinging it! :) You are starting to eat by yourself, when we put little food in front of you.

Since you are doing so well with standing up and crawling and now even walking, I tried to teach  you to climb the steps, but you were not interested. :)

I have to tell you that Kabir gives you the cutest names. One day you are "little diddle" and the other day, you are "ushie tushie" and then something else. Can't wait to see how this is going to flow once you start showing your creative side and invent names for him.

Kabir does enjoy being naughty. Look what I caught him doing. He has not had his hand on the apron since then.



Keep smiling lovie, it sure brightens us up!

Happy Birthday! I love you!


Mama
