Weekend of egg hunt, zoo, and bouncy house!

Ananya had a super fun weekend! On Friday, her favorite Eemo came up to visit. In preparation for Easter, Eemo brought Ananya a baby chick, yummy treats, and an Easter egg basket. In appreciation for the many hours that Eemo played with her, Ananya showed Eemo (who works at Blackberry!) how to use some features on her Blackberry! Techie kids these days...

On Saturday, we took Ananya to the SF Zoo for an easter egg hunt. We met up with Cliff (aka. Hey Uncle), Helen, and Gabe who just accompanied us to Maui last week (pictures coming soon). We saw flamingoes, a huge rhino ("rhino biiiiig"), penguins ("pengin jumba" which means penguins swimming), and even went on a choo-choo train.







Then we drove down to Dadu and Dadi's house, where Ananya soaked up the sunshine, ran in the grass, played with Priyanka Bua and Chaitanya Foofa (and said "Foofa" for the first time), and, of course, had a ton of fun with Dadu and Dadi.

On Sunday, we took Ananya to see Avva and Thatha, where Ananya played in the backyard the whole time, ate lunch al fresco, and took a nap (while Pooneet and I went to the magical land known as Target)...and then we headed to a family friend's birthday, where Ananya fell in love with the bouncy house. She bounced around for almost 45 minutes and hasn't stopped talking about "bouncy" this week!

Bouncy house

So trendy!

Ananya recently got a new headband, which she loves (and which her mommy wishes they made in a grown-up size!). Here are some pictures from Ananya modeling her new hair accessory. Lucky for her, since most of her wardrobe is pink or purple, she can wear her headband with almost everything :)

Morning Routine with Daddy and Elmo

When Pooneet gets Ananya in the morning, one of the fun things they do together is sit on the couch with their own blankets ("bankin" as Ananya says) and watch Elmo (or in Ananya's words, "Elmo La La").

Hanging Out

Here are some photos from February - Ananya eating,hanging out, and going on the bus with Tenzin.

Cousin conversations

In February, Ananya saw Anjali and Ajay at a birthday lunch for Viji Ammama.

Anjali and Ananya had a few conversations. Note that Ananya calls her older cousin Anjali "Baby Anjana" :)





And the kids managed to pose for some photos...

Ring around the rosie

Ananya really loves playing games and singing songs. Here's a video of Ananya doing "ring around the rosie" with her grandparents before demanding to play a game on her iPod!

Weekend of fun

Ananya had a super fun weekend, full of visitors and outings. Priya Aunty came over on Friday and played legos, read books, and pointed out airplanes with Ananya. Then, even though Ananya was sleeping, her friend Aman came over to hang out at night! Ananya got to see her favorite Connor and Chloe on Saturday for a yummy lunch. Connor enjoyed showing off his light saber and Ananya thought Connor's ability to talk in sentences was super cool! She then spent the rest of the day with her beloved Dadu and Dadi, since they just came back from India and she missed them SO much. It was so fun to play with Dadu and Dadi, run around the house, do "jai jai" and, of course, Superwoman! We then spent the night at Avva's house and came back home the next day. Great weekend :)
