Alabama - back to the place of my birth for a few days!

Aunt Trina convinced me to go to the Birmingham galleria mall so Micah Bhaiya and I could take a picture with Santa together! When we got there though I was tricked! No matter what we did, Micah Bhaiya absolutely didn't want to sit on Santa's lap (I didn't mind though since I was asleep anyway). So here's the picture we took, my head was actually more comfortable than it looks. Ammu asked Santa some funny questions afterwards, he told us that the worst kids are the ones that ask for things like "a thousand bucks"! Can you see Granddaddy holding my new pacifier?

10 weeks today - exercising, wearing pants, wearing shoes

Ten weeks today! I've been doing lots of exercising now. They put me on my stomach and force me to do pushups! I don't like pushups at all but I think it's making me strong. One exercise I really like is trying to stand and put weight on my feet. Anyway I don't have much time to talk right now because we just now decided to jump in the car and drive to Alabama to see Nanu, Nana, Mama, Aunt Trina, and Micah Bhaiya!!!!!!! Ammu and Daddy have a couple days off before going to Indianapolis for Thanksgiving on Thursday where I'll see Abuelita and Tio Carlos again!!! And also meet Tia Michelle and Tia Natalie for the first time.

By the way do my fans out there like my new purple SHOES! I haven't worn shoes before but I really like to now. These came in the mail for me today from Aunt Trina!

What's poppin!

9 weeks

11 pounds 6 oz weight, 23 inches height. that's 50th percentile weight, 55th percentile height. now i like to be held and walked around a bit, especially when daddy's around he's really good at it. it's the closest i can get to being rocked since ammu won't let me do that! oh and my diapers are getting really tight i need to move on up to the next size. this picture was taken on my two month birthday this week. i'm still a long way from sitting up by myself but i'm trying to practice as much as possible...here's a picture of me with daddy when ammu just came home from school, and another one with me and daddy watching HOUSE together (we love that show)

8 weeks!

It's getting cold so I'm mostly chillin in the crib these days. Ammu's friend Yasmin Moll visited for a few days from New York, that was a lot of fun! We went out to a Thai restaurant but I didn't like it at all and cried the entire second half. Daddy carried me the entire walk home and I didn't make a sound, I just wanted to get out of that place! Yasmin Auntie got me this dress and hat! Rumana Dadu puts piglet next to me all the time when I sit, when I sleep...she's forcing us to be friends..I think it's working.

President Obama

Obama won! I hear this is going to change my life..

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICAH BHAIYA!!

i love you bhaiya, i saw you on your new trampoline and heard you sing lots of songs now. will you sing to me? do you remember kissing me in this picture when i was only 5 days old? 

7 weeks

I can hold my head up by myself, I can follow things with my eyes, I can smile much more when someone plays with me, I can scratch myself and anyone else pretty bad with my sharp fingernails, and best of all....I can sleep through the night waking up only ONCE! For the past couple days Ammu has had to wake up just once around 4 or 5 am!! She better appreciate this..it is hard work for me! On the down side though for the past couple of days I've been having a really tough time falling asleep around my 8pm naptime. I cry a lot and sometime I get a pacifier (which makes me stop crying immediately) although Ammu doesn't want to give it to me unless she thinks my crying is to the point where my heart starts beating really fast and I'll get scared..which rarely happens. Abbu on the other hand wants to give me the pacifier as soon as I make the slightest peep! Abbu is so nice, I think he's always going to give me whatever I want!

Here are some pictures of me with Dadu and Ammu in just my diaper. I absolute LOVE being in just a diaper, in fact being naked is even better! I like to look around and smile when I'm naked, especially when the fan is on! I also started taking showers (yes showers - not baths!) at nighttime now instead of around noon. I love showers and being held under the running water. So far I haven't cried yet, Dadu gives the best showers. She holds my head facedown under the running bathrub water so that no water goes into my ears and I won't get an ear infection. Dadu does all kinds of interesting things with me, then when Ammu and Abbu look it up on the internet they find out that doctors actually recommend the same stuff!

I also went out to the new Italian restaurant BRAVO in Evanston with Ammu's friends. Food was decent, but the people were fun. They got together and gave me some presents I was so surprised. Mi Roo picked them all out - some outfits and two stuffed animals: Piglet and Eeyore! Here I am with them!
