Aloha!

Ananya got back from her first vacation to Maui and it was quite an adventure! She went with her parents and with Pooneet's parents, and had so much fun!

Both plane rides were surprisingly uneventful - she slept most of the time and, when awake, was so amazed by the airplane that she couldn't stop staring at everything. She had some jetlag when we got to Hawaii, so Aditi had several mornings of being woken up at 4am from a wide-awake baby! Ananya got to spend some wonderful quality time with her Daddy and with her grandparents, who were constantly singing to her and playing with her.

Ananya definitely loved Hawaii (just like her parents!). She loved going to the beach, staring at the sand, hearing the ocean waves, and feeling the warm breeze on her skin.

She even got to meet her cousin Sonia and her Deepa Aunty and Erich Uncle as an added bonus!

So now that we've survived our first vacation with baby, we're wondering where our next vacation should be. Any ideas?

Baby Jet-Setters

Ananya met her cousin Sonia in Maui during our Hawaii vacation...the two cousins got along famously and I'm sure that the story of their first meeting in such a fabulous location as Hawaii will be recounted for years to come!

Baby's 1st Mohawk

Daddy and Mommy decided to have some fun with Ananya during her bathtime!

Sarayu's visit

Aditi's cousin Sarayu (Pedamma to Ananya) came to visit for a week...Ananya loved having her Pedamma constantly play with her and sing to her and entertain her (and Ananya's mom loved having another set of hands to give the baby to!)

Thatha and Avva's party for Ananya

Aditi's parents (Thatha and Avva) threw a party in honor of Ananya and Aditi's grandmother, who is visiting from India! Here are a few pictures from that day

September pictures

Here are some pictures that we have taken this month: Ananya showing off her stylish summer dress, Ananya playing on her crib, and Ananya dressed up for her mommy's birthday!

Today she turns 14 weeks old and we're amazed at how quickly time flies with her! She is getting really excited about her great-grandmother who will be coming next Monday all the way from India, just to see her! Ananya plans on spending a LOT of time with her great-Avva :)

Tummy Time...

We thought we would share a video from one of Ananya's many tummy time sessions...enjoy!
