My first Holidays - come & gone so fast!

My first holiday season has come and gone - and so, so many fun stories to share! AND I've reached a bunch of new milestones...

First of all, I was right last month - I did, in fact, get my first tooth just before Thanksgiving! A bottom tooth and it's so much fun to bite food (and mommy & daddy) with it. You can sort of see it in this picture.



And then, over Thanksgiving weekend at my Patti & Thatha's house, I started to move around on my own - I started crawling (well, sort of). It's more efficient than crawling actually...I stay in sitting position and slide around - that way, I don't have to stop and get back into sitting position and so on! Well, just take a look at the video - it's also great because I can just take my blanket with me everywhere I go!

More excitingly, I've recently learned to pull myself up and stand so now I can reach all new heights!! Just a litte more practice and I'll be running around on my two legs like all those bigger kids in my gym class!



As you can see, I've been busy these past few months but this isn't even all of it! I went to my first Diwali party and wore a cool Indian "dhothi" outfit!



Then my parents and I went to Arizona to my Umi baa and Ashok dada's house to spend Christmas and New Year's Eve with them, Neil mama, Shilpa masi, Anand masa and Ashvini and baby Nayathi! We even went to the Phoenix Zoo where I saw real life Sophies (giraffes). There's a fun video of my Ashok dada and me playing our "bull fighting game" in AZ!



Also, don't forget to check out all my recent pictures and pictures of my latest photo shoot with my daddy's friend, Conor! I think I look pretty darn spiffy in that awesome tie...I have many more - now if I only I had more occasions to where them to.
