11 weeks! Back from thanksgiving, talking, long road trips, and Chicago's first SNOW!

Today is my and Chicago's first snow!!! Just got back from Thanksgiving road trips yesterday...went all the way to Birmingham to Nana and Nanu's house - stayed in a hotel on the way! Watched a little tv there then kept driving. We even went to Atlanta for a night - that was really fun and I slept in the big bed with Daddy and Ammu while Nana Nanu and Granddaddy slept in the living room! Can you believe that? I am getting star treatment everywhere, even in Indianapolis! I wonder how long this will last...Highlights of trip:

1. Thanksgiving dinner at Aunt Trina's house!! Micah and I played together a lot, but then he kept trying to stuff a pacifier in my mouth (which I kind of enjoyed!)

2.Hanging out with Khaled Nana (also goes by Kalo Nana or Tak Nana..not sure which one yet depends on how nice he is to me - didn't get off to a good start he kept calling me Chinese baby)

3. Waffle House and general hanging out with Granddaddy. He's the only one who insisted on washing his hands before picking me up. What's wrong with the rest of you people?? (just kidding)

4. Sleeping with Nanu in her bed the last night I was there.

5. Tio Carlos in indianapolis - I have a soft spot for tio carlos since he's the only one who seems to ever read and comment on my blog!!! (And you too Aunt Carly) He gave me this dope video player, it is going to do wonders for my blog!

6.Rockin out with Abuelita. I missed her! She kept rocking me even though Daddy kept telling her she can't, it's because she loves me!

7.Eating out at fish place in Indy with Tia Michelle and Tia Natalie. I slept in Tio Carlos' hands for the most part. In the end I got really hungry so Ammu took me to the bathroom and fed me in the handicap stall..there were lots of women in there talking about other babies. Then all of a sudden Daddy snuck into the Womens bathroom!! So we all three chilled inside the stall and listened to funny conversations while I ate.

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.
