Technical Difficulties

We are currently experiencing technical difficulties... The computer is dead!!!! We are waiting for the shipment to come in at circuit city to get the new computer and then we will be posting some pictures from Texas.

Nap Time

Isha felt like being a girly girl today so she wore her head band. Once again Isha's feet make it into the picture. Yesterday her nap schedule was all messed up because we had to pick Stitch up and I had physical therapy. Today we had our breastfeeding group so she was really late on her morning nap. She couldn't even stay awake for the 5 minute trip home. Poor little girl was passed out in her car seat. When I got home the concrete crew was sledgehammering out our front porch because it has settled to much and started to sink. Poor Isha's nap was short lived because she was kept awake by the hammering. So much for napping this week. Hopefully she can get some rest tomorrow so she will be ready for her first plane trip on Saturday.

Stitch and Isha

Stitch had a bath and was groomed yesterday. We had his hair trimmed and he even got a red bow on his collar. I wanted him cleaned up so he didn't stink up Jim and Adrienne's house. After Isha's bath we let the two sweet smelling cuties snuggle together. Isha loves her big brother. He is so good with her. He just lays there and lets her lay up against him. I also let her pet him and she grabbed a big handful of hair. I think that she liked the way it felt in her hand. Two sleepy heads ready for bed. I love it when Stitch gets a bath because he is so soft and he smells so good. I really should take him more often. He gets a lot more attention when he smells better.

Isha Update

Today Isha had her 4 month check up. She weighed 12 pounds and 15 and 1/2 ounces, this puts her in the 40th percentile. She had a huge poop right before we left for the appointment. The doctor said that if she hadn't done that she would have made it to an even 13 pounds. She is 23 and 1/2 inches long putting her in the 25th percentile for height. She cried when she got her shots and then preceded to scream until Jai and I came out from talking with the doctor. She had little Barbie band-aids on her legs. Sorry there are no pics to post, but Isha was fussy so I put her to bed. More good news. One of Jai's co-workers heard that we were planning on driving to Texas with the dog and the baby and they volunteered to watch Stitch for us. The have a golden retriever, Miles, who is 9 years old so Stitch will have a buddy to play with all week. I am SO relieved that we don't have to drive. I don't know how we will ever repay Jim and Adrienne!!! God is good!!!

A Roadtrip to Fredricksburg

I had a great Mother's Day. I woke up in the morning with a present sitting in the rocking chair. Isha and Jai got me a beautiful charm bracelet. We all went to church together, which was great. After Isha woke up from her nap we drove to Fredricksburg to have dinner with Tony and Angela. Isha did great in the car, which is a good thing considering that we are driving to Texas at the end of this week. Isha loved being the center of attention. Alex, Madison and Shannon spent lots of time playing with Isha. Angela held Isha while I ate dinner. It was great to be able to eat a warm dinner! Here is a picture of Isha with her Uncle Tony. We had a great time visiting with the Turners!

Some New Discoveries

This has been a week of new discoveries for Isha. She realized that her Jumparoo has toys that hang above her head. She loves looking at the blue frog that keeps a watchful eye on here. She also realized she could jump up and down in the Jumparoo. I was so proud of her that I grabbed the video camera, but unfortunately I am totally inept with technology and I forgot to hold the record button down. The whole time that I thought I was taping I was really just watching her on the video screen. Well better luck next time. Isha also realized that she has feet. She loves to grab hold of them. She is also getting closer to rolling over. Now she can roll onto her side and I think that with a little more practice she will have it.

You will notice that I made a few changes and additions to the blog. I have to admit that I stole the baby ticker idea from the Millers. I think it will be helpful to keep track of how old Isha is. So, thanks for the good idea. I know that copy cats are so annoying, but I do have one thing to say: my baby had hair first!

Happy Birthday Isha

Isha is four months old today! It is hard to believe that only 4 months ago she was just arriving. It is hard to even imagine back to the time before she was here. It is amazing how our lives have changed. Isha's hair is getting long. She now has little curls above her ears. I think that she looks like the flying nun in this picture. I think that she may have a cold. She has a stuffy nose, hasn't been sleeping well, and rosy red cheeks. Despite all of this she is still happy all the time. She goes to the doctor next Tuesday for her check up and shots. It is always fun to go and she how much weight she has gained and how tall she has grown. We will let you know what the stats are after the appointment.

A Hairy Visit

The Millers came for dinner last night and Hartley was sporting a new do. Since the last time we saw Hartley, she has miraculously gone from bald to a full head of curly black hair! What a change in only a week and a half. The girls were checking each other out and sharing their hair care secrets. Isha played along well, but in this next picture, Isha is looking at the camera and saying, "Can you believe this girl. Like anyone is going to believe that hair is real!" We had a great time hanging out with Hartley. She was a good sport about wearing the wig, but we prefer her sweet little bald head so the rest of the night she was wig free. The girls had fun playing together, and Hartley even took the Jumparoo for a test drive. Hey Eric, thanks for the help in the kitchen. The dishes are extra clean now!!! We can't wait to have you over again and let the girls play! We always have a blast and there are great pictures to post afterwards.

One Year Ago

It was one year ago today that we found out we were pregnant!! I remember walking around most of the day in total disbelief. I had to keep looking at the test to make it sink in. And now here I am a year later walking around with a baby in my arms. It is hard to believe that this adorable little girl is the same one as the little peanut we saw on our first ultrasound. It has been an amazing year!!!

The Queen Comes To Richmond

The Queen of England is in Virginia to help celebrate the 400th anniversary of Jamestown. While it is exciting to have her here, I don't know what all the hub-bub is about. Maybe Richmond isn't aware of the fact that we have royalty already here in Virginia.

May I introduce to you: HRH ( Her Royal Highness) Princess Isha Rosalynn Oberoi. Her Majesty had just woke up from a nap, so her hair was a little messy, but when you are a princess you just cover it up with your crown.
