Ananya's 6 mo. photo shoot

We've been getting professional photos taken of Ananya ever since she was 1 week old, by our wedding photographers, Brook and Alisha Todd (http://alishabrook.com). Here are some pictures taken when Ananya was 6 months old. Enjoy!

Daddy's Kellogg Reunion

Ananya (and her Mommy) joined Daddy and his Kellogg friends on a trip to Tahoe over MLK weekend. Ananya, having already been to Tahoe a few weeks earlier, loved being back in her Tahoe house and had so much fun playing with her uncles and aunties. Since there were no other kids on this trip, Ananya had everyone's undivided attention, which of course she loved!

Ananya's Thathas and Avva

Ananya has been so lucky to see so many of her relatives. Her Venkappa Thatha, Ashok Thatha, and BabyAvva came all the way from India just to see her! And she was so excited to meet her Kittu Thatha, who came from New Jersey to celebrate Ananya's Thatha's 60th birthday.

Our little fish

Ananya re-started her swimming lessons again! Mommy and baby go to swim class on Friday mornings, and she loves it! Eemo visited for a day and took some photos of us. Swim class is fun - we swim in the warm water, sing songs, splash, play with the water toys...great way to spend a morning!

Ananya's 1st trip to Tahoe

Between Christmas and NYE, we visited Lake Tahoe. It was so beautiful, there was so much snow, and we had a great time with our friends! Kapil, Aila, and Zayan along with Cliff, Helen, and Gabriel joined us and all the dads, moms, and kiddies had a wonderful time!

Christmas Day

(Long overdue post!)

Ananya celebrated the Christmas season with her parents, Avva/Thatha, Paddu Avva from LA, and Nalini Avva from Bangalore. On Christmas Day, we visited my cousin Jayanthi and her family and then Ananya's Avva/Thatha and her other Avva and Thathas from Hyderabad came for dinner. Ashok Thatha sang Jingle Bells to her, which she loved! And, as you can see, she had a ball opening (and eating) all her gifts!
