Pumpkins!!

It's been a really fun and exciting month - from the arrival of my new little baby cousin sister, Nayathi, on Oct 5 (my 7th month birthday) to visitors in NY to celebrating my very first Halloween, this month flew by so fast!

It all started with a trip to DC to visit Nayathi - I had so much fun seeing a teeny baby, playing with Ashvini, all her toys and going to the pumpkin patch with her to pick out pumpkins to carve. I slept through the carving session but that's ok, my daddy still carved one just for me. And I got to ride around the farm in a wheel barrel with Ashvini.



Then my Ashay Mama, Eshaan Mama, Trusha didi and Aku baa came to visit me in NY on Halloween weekend. It was a bit cold but we tried to go see my daddy play ultimate frisbee anyway - could't stay long as it was too windy. Then I took everyone to the very cool playground in our neighborhood. I hope they loved every minute a lot so that they come back again soon!



Finally, the very last day of this month was Halloween - what a fun holiday!! I can't wait to actually be able to eat all that candy I collected. I dressed up as Anakin Skywalker from Star Wars and my daddy was Obi-Wan Kenobi. In other words, I was his Padawan (but I don't think I really need training, I think I could actually teach him a thing or two about becoming a Jedi).



In other news, I'm sitting quite well on my own now and although I can't crawl yet, I'm pretty good at scooting on my belly (only backwards - still working on the forward motions). AND, I think I might be sprouting my very first tooth - guess we'll see if I'm right next month! What a fun month it's been...

My Big California Adventure

Has it seriously been over a month since my last post??! I'm blaming my mommy for the delay this time - she's been keeping me super busy with baby gym classes, baby music classes and mommy & baby groups. On top of that, she and daddy keeps running off to work when I tell them I need to computer to update my loyal blog readers!

In the past month, I was away for 10 days though - we took a trip to California for my parent's friend's wedding in San Diego for which I got all dressed up:



Flying all the way across the country launched a whole adventure up the coast to visit friends and family in San Diego, LA, San Jose and San Francisco! Was so much fun flying on a plane, going to beaches, swimming in pools, eating my first avocado, meeting new friends, going to my 4th wedding and so much more!



Just before my 7th month birthday while I was on Venice Beach in LA, I finally learned how to sit all on my own! This is very exciting and I really enjoy not having to be carried around, propped up or staring at the ceiling all the time.
