Amaya February Update

Quick update on Amaya and parenthood…
 

The last few weeks was filled with baby group gatherings and friends visiting Amaya.  She adores the attention and is quite active with all of her visitors.  Nisha also started work again so that was a huge drastic shift in parenthood but we settled in after a few days.  Both sets of grandparents have provided amazing support.
    

She’s sleeping thru the night for about 7 hours straight.   Woohoo!  We feel it’s primarily due to this new blanket we bought called the Miracle Blanket.  We were skeptical at first but this thing is pretty amazing.  So far it works and Amaya sleep quite peacefully….and so do her parents.  Amaya is making all kinds of sounds and usually her and I will pretend to have our own conversation in our unique dialect.  At points, it goes on for minutes.  I could only imagine what is going thru her head.

    
Rolling over is going to be Amaya’s next big achievement.  While on her playmat, she tries really, really hard but is caught up with her own arm.  Now she’s spinning on the floor like a breakdancer since that arm stops the actual roll over process.  But any day now she will make the full turn.  She personally gets so frustrated at not being able to do when she gets so, so, sooo close.  We give her that extra nudge once in awhile to boost her confidence.

   
She is smiling on que.  She is recognizing our voices when we enter a room.  Her personality is getting bigger and bigger.  I must agree that they grow too fast.  Here are a few recent pictures but there is an entire collection on the Amaya page in the Month Two album.

New Year = New Adventures

Happy New Year y’all!

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.

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.
