Meeting my Cousins!

My cousin Ashvini came to see me when I first arrived at the hospital but I don't remember much from those days - there were just so many people there, I couldn't keep track of everyone that I'd met! Luckly, Ashvini came to visit me again this past weekend, so we spent some quality time together. She knows the whole alphabet...that's just SO cool!!! I can't wait to learn that from her!



My cousin Chitra also came to visit me this weekend with her parents an grandparents, who came all the way from India! Unfortunately, I was so sleepy when they came that I slept through their whole visit. I'll have to invite them over again when I'm awake so we can hang out.



I'm noticing that I have a lot of girl cousins....oh boy! Mom and Dad, I need a brother PRONTO!

The Week I was Supposed to Arrive!

I was expected to arrive on March 20 - which is also my Thatha's birthday. It would have been very cool to share a birthday with my Thatha, but I just couldn't wait that long, and on the bright side, I got to celebrate his birthday with him!



Earlier that week, my Suba athai came to visit me! It was great to meet her - she's really busy in school right now, so came during her Sprig Break...it's a good thing I came early or else I may not have met her until Summer!









That same weekend, my mommy & daddy's friends came to visit me! I met Camila, Nico and my new friend, Manuel. I also met Chris & Christina (my dad has known Chris for almost 15 years so I'll definitely be asking Chris for embarrasing stories about my dad in the future!)

Mommy & Me Time

My mommy and I have reading time together - my first book was "Good Night New York City" - this is quickly becoming my favorite book.





















She also does a lot of embarrasing things like give me manicures.

AND she keeps saying something about "Mommy & Me" yoga?!?! (Oh boy, are you serious, mom?!)

Coming Home!

My Neil mama gave me this super cool Phoenix Suns outfit to wear home from the hospital. Even though it was slightly (ok, more than slightly) big for me, I really wanted it to be my first outfit. My dad wasn't too happy because he wanted me to wear NY Knicks gear before Phoenix Suns, but my mom beat him to it...go MOM! :) But my dad insisted on covering up some of the Suns stuff with a sweatshirt - my mom picked an University of Arizona hoodie (that my Neil mama also gave me)...

The prince formerly called Taco...

Welcome everyone! I came into the world just 19 days ago (which was actually 15 days earlier than I was expected)! After hearing the hustle & bustle of the big city everyday for 9 months, I just couldn’t wait any longer. And boy am I glad I didn’t wait because I’m loving it out here. Now I get to stretch my legs as often as I want without making mommy uncomfortable AND I finally get to meet my daddy!

For those of you who want to see more about my journey to this point, my mom has been documenting it in another blog: tacopc.wordpress.com (FYI – I was known as Taco before I was named Adaiyan. I once heard my parents say they called me Taco because they both love Taco Bell… they are so strange!)

This is Taco...


And this is me (Adaiyan)...
