Haircut

Ananya's hair was getting a little out of control, so we went to a super-cute place called "Just Kids" in Los Altos to get her first haircut (I was too scared to do it myself!). Ananya got to sit in a mini-car, had plenty of toys to play with, cried a bit, but in the end came out with a much neater head of hair. Now she looks a little boyish, but I prefer to think of her haircut as modern city cool :)

Spring in SF

Springtime in San Francisco has been so much fun for Ananya! She has met several new friends (Avidhan, Asha, and Sarina), visited a farmer's market and the rainforest inside the Academy of Sciences, and loves playing in her playpen.

Funny face & kisses

Ananya shows off a new facial expression almost every day! Here is a picture of her current favorite, along with her new trick (thanks to Papa!) of giving kisses.

Chillin'

We thought we'd share some funny moments with Ananya from this month.





Enjoy!

Ananya's toys

Ananya quickly got bored with her exersaucer...until Thatha spent a few days with us this past week while in town for a conference. Together, they discovered a whole new world underneath the exersaucer, which Ananya loved!





Her absolute favorite toy in the world is this moving butterfly (thanks Ranjit Uncle, Stacey Aunty, and Leela!) and, as you can see, she can't contain her delight when the butterfly starts moving.

10 months old

It's been quite an incredible month for Ananya. She started crawling and then, two days later when all the grandparents were gathered for dinner, she crawled to a couch, and stood up! She now cruises with total confidence, making it quite a challenge for her parents to keep up with her :) She screams with joy all the time, has said "mama" and "mommy" once (yes, I cried!), is sleeping even more soundly now that her crawling tires her out, continues to love her swimming lessons (she's quite the splasher), and eats pretty much everything that we eat. She now has 4 teeth and is super-ticklish.

Her 10 month birthday coincided with her first Easter (and also a mild fever, hence her non-smiley face). Thanks to Anju Mausi for the Easter basket and Aparna Aunty for the Ananya shirt!

Here's a video of Ananya cruising:
