A quick update on what has been going on.  I’ve added a few features to the blog.  The most important is you can now subscribe to the blog so you get emailed when updates to indeed take place.  It will come right ot your inbox.  It’s listed as Email Alerts in the sidebar.  I’ve also connected the blog with my Facebook so everything gets updated smoothly at one time.  Also, the Amaya page is dedicated to albums that gets updated frequently.  Be sure to note there are more than 21 images per album and there are multiple pages.  The plan is to have more regular posts.  Some Amaya related and the rest interesting items I find amusing.

Holiday time was just full of spending time with family.  Lots of chilling around, eating, laughing and Amaya was showered with presents of course.   Since there was no shortage of people reaching to hold her, she loved the attention.  Here are some pics during xmas time:

A few of Amaya’s cha cha’s (uncles) flew into meet her for the first time. Parag cha cha flew in from Switzerland and Sundeep cha cha came down from San Francisco to spend quality time with the family. Again, Amaya loved the attention was so happy to meet her cha cha’s. She had them wrapped her finger already and is anticipating that full ride scholarship to USC they promised.

Amaya had  many out of state visitors including aunts and uncles from Oklahoma.  Some even drove all the way from Oklahoma to see her for one night.  What an amazing gesture and feeling!  So lucky to have family like that.

Cultural beliefs didn’t allow us to take Amaya out of the household until 40 days after her birth.  So after xmas we performed a few religious ceremonies and then hit the town.  We actually got to take Amaya out in the stroller and attempted our first meal at a restaurant.   It went really well and Amaya loves to be outdoors which is great since Dodgers season is right around the corner!  She also got to meet her friend that was born a few weeks before and discussed girl band names.

Amaya, meet Sanaya. Sanaya, meet Amaya.

We also had some real funny moments in the last few weeks.  One was what our friend likes to reference as a “terrorist poop”.  It’s exactly what is sounds like and I have the pics to disgust you with.  We were driving home from dinner and Amaya was in the car seat being odd.  She recently started talking up a storm now with various sounds so she was going on and on.  Little did we know it was a distraction for what we were to find when we got home.  Here’s what we had to deal with when we got home…

UH OH.

Terrorist Poop. Nisha what did you feed this girl?

Once in awhile Amaya will get you with a terrorist poop but everyday she delivers that gorgeous smile.  It’s priceless.  I love my baby girl.

Priceless
