Day 16 - Exclusively with parents

Today is the first day that I spent exclusively with my parents. It was so serene that I ended up sleeping all day

Exciting news coming up...stay tuned...

Day 15 - Shopping

I went out today for shopping and eating out. I have been getting lots of gifts, and Myma has been feeding me well. So, I didn't feel like shopping or eating out. I took a rain check this time, but you know...it's just a matter of time.

I enjoyed the visit of uncle Josh and aunt Meredith. It felt so cozy when they held me. I slipped into deeper and deeper sleep. They were amused by how tiny I was. I found that they also have a Wii at home. I look forward to playing some games on-line with them, and also off-line when they visit me next. (BTW, happy birthday uncle Josh. Thanks for the gift. Myma and I love it a lot).

Day 14 - Meeting my folks online and offline

It has been a good weekend so far. I video conferenced with my paternal grand parents. This was the first time they were watching me on-line. I was very thrilled. I am really looking forward to their visit.

In the evening, Vikram uncle, Manju aunty and her brother came to visit me from NY. I played with them for about 2 hours. They were really amused by how attentive I am to the camera. They think I will become a model, but I have other plans though. I was hoping that they will stay back for dinner. But, you know Vikram uncle - he makes lots of plans...I think he needs to take a break and chill out some time (like me).


Ok more later. I got to go for shopping today, and meet my grand parents on-line.

Days 13 and 14 - My second weekly birthday

Hey...It's my second weekly birthday. I got a gift too....

Did you get what it is...It's the pacifier. My ped told Myma that I can get one. If you have any suggestions on how best to use this pacifier, please write it the comments.

My maternal grand parents left yesterday. My grand father's father expired. So, they had to leave at a very short notice. I will miss them dearly.

On the brighter side, my paternal grand parents are going to visit me in few more days. I am looking forward to their visit. It's kind of lonely without the grand parents.

Day 12 - Guess me !

Any guess on why I have such an expression in the photo below? If you are baby friendly, you would know the answer right away.

I went to my pediatrician for my week 2 visit. Thankfully, everything is going fine. I am gaining an ounce of weight each day. If you haven't visited me yet, you may want to visit me soon. Otherwise, you may not be able to carry me.

Days 8-11: I am okay

Dear Readers,


Sorry for the long absense. I know it felt like ages for this edition to come out. Some of you sent emails too. I haven't been busy, but quite a bit lazy. Looks like I am inhereting mypa's qualities.


Last few days, I spent most of my time learning how to mumble. I do it mostly in the night to put mypa and myma to sleep. For some reason, it hasn't been working out. They keep waking up to check on me.


Mypa traveled out of town on work. He went to some warmer place that made me feel jealous. I came to this world only 10 days ago, and he already missed 1 day (10%) of the fun so far. I am so upset with him about it. He tried to please me, and got his hair cut to make it look more like mine. I don't know if I believe him, but I posed for a picture with him -






I recently got hold of my elder cousin (Samvi)'s photo. I think we look alike. Don't you agree?








I chatted with my elder aunty (Samvi's mom) few days ago. It was lot of fun. I missed talking to Samvi.

That's all for now. I will try not be lazy, and will be back tomorrow with some more exciting content.

Day 7 - My first weekly birthday

Can't believe that I already completed my first week. Time passes so quickly. I have a feeling that I may be getting old now. Before I grew any older, I decided to celebrate my first weekly birthday. Celebrations started with getting dressed, and then spending some quality family time - with my maternal grand parents and my uncle Ravi:




Then, I met Diya Didi, her parents, and her grand ma. Didi Diya was very playful and engaging. We were both excited at seeing each other -



I had good time with Arun uncle and Satya aunty. Arun uncle told me that we can play Wii on-line with each other (We both love our Wiis). Diya didi and I liked Satya aunty's gold chain, and we look forward to buy/beg/steal it from her some time in near future :-)

Mypa's childhood friend, Ajay also took part in these celebrations. He just came from his Yoga lessons. I wanted to ask him if he can make his forehead touch his knees as well as I can, but I didn't want to embarass him. So, I just smiled while he carried me around (as the clouds passed by in the background).

Mypa's work buddies (Camels, Elephants, Eagles) also took part in my celebrations. They just couldn't believe how little I was. I look forward to meeting few more of mypa's work buddies (specifically Oz.).

Hey girls, there are 5 eligible and friendly and adorable bachelors in these photos. If you are interested in any (or many) of them, let me know. I will set you up with them.

So, that's all for now. That's the end of the glorious first week,
