New Pictures....

We have added a couple albums for everyone to enjoy.

First we have some visitors that came to see Ananya during the end of July and August.



We also have more pictures of Ananya from the end of July until August including her meeting her new cousin, Ajay!



Enjoy!

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.

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!

Pictures from Thatha

Ananya's grandfather (or in the South Indian custom - Thatha), Ram Mohan, has uploaded some some pictures he took.

We would like to welcome Ananya Sarada Goel to our lives. She was born on June 12th, 2008 at 5 lbs 11 oz at a height of 18 inches. Her name means "without equal or peer" and she truly is a unique force in our lives. We hope you will cherish her story as much as we do.

Love, Aditi & Pooneet
