9 months old

It's amazing how quickly time is flying with Ananya! She turned 9 months last week and can do so many fun tricks! She sits with ease, is starting to think about crawling, loves to jump and stand, screams with delight, eats a huge variety of food, loves her swimming lessons and has started kicking and splashing up a storm, and just got a set of new toys and a highchair. She's slowly but surely turning into a big girl!

Kiddie fun!

Ananya got to spend the afternoon playing with her cousins, Anjali and Ajay, and had so much fun playing with Anjali's nose and Ajay's toys! The next day, Zayan came to visit and gave her a sweet kiss on the cheek when he left :) I think Pooneet is already worried about Ananya and boys!

And then I couldn't resist taking a picture of her one day when her hair was sticking straight up :)

Bahama Baby

We took a family trip with Pooneet's parents to the Bahamas for a week in February. It was Ananya's first international trip and I'm sure her passport will be put to good use in the future.

Ananya had a wonderful time - nonstop playing with her Dadu and Dadi, putting her feet in the sand and in the ocean (the water was too cold for her to swim), and she can't wait for her next trip! She loved looking at the ocean and hearing the waves, she saw a horse for the first time (which scared her!), took the wheel of the golf cart, and saw her first Junkanoo (Carnival on the islands).

I Can Sit!

Ananya can sit on her own (though prefers to stand and jump!) and today she modelled the clothes that Stacey Aunty made for her.

Ananya and her reflection

Ananya started interacting with her reflection in the mirror the other day, and I thought it was funny to see two Ananyas on the video!

Heads up that this video is a little long (4 min). Enjoy :)

Christmas songs

(Long overdue post)
Ananya visited her cousins Anjali and Ajay on Christmas...Here's her adorable cousin singing a Christmas song to her :)

Daddy's 1st birthday as a Daddy

We celebrated Pooneet's birthday a few weeks ago...Ananya discovered her reflection in the mirror that morning and then we had some of our friends over for dinner at night. Pooneet seemed pretty excited about his ice cream birthday cake (thanks Jean!) and his Snuggie, which for those of you who haven't seen the infomercial, is a blanket with sleeves :)
