Ananya recently started swim lessons at La Petite Baleen in San Francisco and is really loving the water. We can't wait until she wins her first gold medal (or her "no-crying" ribbon, we'll take whatever)...

Happy 3 month birthday!
Today is Ananya's 3 month birthday! It's hard to believe that she's been in our lives for such a seemingly short period of time. To be honest, I can't really remember what life was like before her!
Ananya is definitely coming into her own now. She is much more alert when she is awake. She can hold her head up - which is no easy feat and, according to the look on her face, takes quite an incredible amount of strength and concentration. She can smile easily, look at you when you're talking to her, and even will talk back to you! She's quite the conversationalist and loves attention - in fact, if you're holding her and not looking at her and not talking to her, she'll get upset and let you know!
The last week, something wonderful (for Aditi) happened: Ananya started sleeping through the night! Yay! She now will sleep from about 10:30pm until 5am. Needless to say, mom and baby are better rested and much happier :) In addition, she has now started sticking her tongue out a LOT - I don't think she means to be rude, I think she's just proud of her cute little tongue and likes to show it off!
Pooneet and I still don't think she looks like either one of us....any thoughts? What do you think?
And the most fun news of all: Ananya started swimming lessons last week! Daddy and daughter went into the swimming pool at La Petit Baleen in SF for a half-hour swim lesson. Well, I don't know if it's totally accurate to call it "swimming", more like "splashing". But Ananya had a GREAT time - for the first half of the class, she didn't cry, was bobbing her head around, got in an inner tube, and held her head up for the longest period of time to date. It was so fun! We'll post a video/pics as soon as we get our act together.
Now we're off to celebrate mommy's bday and Ananya's 3 month bday!

Ananya is pretty hip
Ananya recently received a very cool onesie from her Aparna Mausi...She totally rocked it on Labor day.

More Photos
We have uploaded three new albums on the right side of the page. Some pictures from June, July, and our first temple visit. As soon as I figure out this whole video camera thing I will start to upload some videos as well.
Love,

5 weeks old
Ananya made her first "official" outing this past weekend. With both of our families, we took her to the temple, where her name ceremony took place. Despite bells clanging and holy water and rice thrown in her direction, she managed to sleep right through it all :) We then took her to visit both her Thatha/Avva's house (Aditi's parents) and her Dada/Dadi/Bua's house (Pooneet's parents and sister). She is one lucky girl to have both sets of grandparents so close by! And then, so that she wasn't the only one having fun, we left her with Thatha/Avva and went to go see Batman! It's nice for us parents to have a semblance of a social life every now and then :)
Ananya continues to delight us with her million expressions per minute, her arm and leg stretches, her spit bubbles (we're very proud!), and the funny sounds she makes! My next goal is to figure out how to get her to sleep better at night. As some of you may note, it is 5am and my lovely daughter hasn't slept all night. Ah, the joys of parenthood.
Ananya's cousin, Sonia Mohan Patten, was born yesterday and we are very excited for Erich, Deepa, and the rest of the Patten/Mohan clan to welcome Baby Sonia. We can't wait for Ananya and Sonia to meet, wear matching outfits (like what Aparna, Deepa, and Aditi used to do!), and play together!

Please enjoy!
