Fun Friday

Pooneet and I took Ananya to the Academy of Sciences in Golden Gate Park this past Friday. The weather was perfect, and Ananya loved looking at the colorful fish, seeing beautiful birdies and butterflies in the rain forest, touching a starfish, and walking around the park, chasing dogs and pointing out the airplanes flying far away in the distance.




Here are more pictures from the day:

Fun with friends

Ananya is having a pretty major social life these days! She has a friend's birthday party every weekend this month and is greeting new friends as they make their grand debut into the world.


Ananya met her newest friend (and future Stanford classmate?), Aman.




Ananya helped celebrate Asha's 1st birthday at Peekadoodle, where she had a blast playing in the many play areas, painting a photo frame, and devouring the delicious cake!




Ananya wished her cousin, Vunshi, a very happy 1st birthday this past weekend!

Happy Halloween

Ananya (and therefore the rest of us) really got into the Halloween spirit this year! Ananya and I visited the Pumpkin Patch, where she loved patting all the pumpkins, seeing the bunny rabbits and chickens, and trying to eat hay when I wasn't looking :)






For Halloween, Ananya was a pink, sparkly butterfly fairy - and even had sparkly wings to match (Thanks Dadu and Dadi!). Ananya joined a bunch of super cute kiddies at her friend Gabe's house for a Halloween party and for some fun trick o'treating. She loved the idea of selecting candy and putting into her basket...but didn't quite get the concept of keeping the candy and would immediately offer it back!
