Aman and Shruti's Wedding

Sunday we went to Maryland for a wedding. Jai's cousin, Aman was getting married.

Isha got lots of attentions from all of her aunts, uncles, and cousins!

At first she was a little overwhelmed by all of the festivities. After awhile she was having a good time. She loved dancing to the music and being a daddy's girl! As you can see Isha was in desperate need of some sleep. Even though she missed her nap she was a good girl. Some pictures from the reception. Everyone was impressed by how much Isha can eat. Isha loves most food, but especially Indian food. YUMMY! Isha and Bindu have the same fashion sense. Obviously turquoise is the new black! After a day of fun we got in the car and headed back down to Richmond. Poor Isha was out before we even hit the freeway.

"Stop It"

Isha's very own lawn chair.

She loves crawling on it and standing up in it. It has been a battle to get her to sit in it. I am sure this is part of where she has gotten her new phrase, "Stop it". I guess I have said this to her a few times to many because now she is saying it constantly! She has started to say lots of new words. She also mimics lots of different sounds so I am sure it won't be long before she is talking. Here she is in her chair with her baby doll. She really loves this little doll. Some days we have to take the doll with us everywhere we go. Isha loves to give the doll loves. She hold the doll up close to her face, snuggles her and pats her on the head while cooing at her. We will have to put a video of this on the blog. It is so adorable. We had a birthday party on Friday for Jai and Laura, who share the same birthday. Tony, Angela and the kids came down for the party and spent the night. The next morning Isha had a great time showing off for all of the company. She even gave Tony's shoes a try. Just a few more pictures to show off the cute dress that Isha's Tia got for her! Isha has also started taking things and then running like a maniac. She loves to have you chase her around.

Notice the cute little ankle bracelets that Isha's Aunt Vina brought her from India.

Swimming Lessons

Here is little miss getting ready for her swimming lessons. We go every Tuesday and Thursday. The lessons are only 30 minutes so it is a lot of work for a short little class, but Isha is really enjoying it. The lessons are at the YMCA just down the street. The first lesson was a little tough because the water was colder than we expected, but at the second lesson we eased in the water and knew what to expect so things went much better. Isha is learning to kick her legs and pull with her arms. We also work on blowing bubbles in the water, but most of the time Isha just ends up swallowing a big gulp of pool water. We went to Bill and Stacy's house on Saturday for a wonderful lunch. Isha had a good time playing with Liam and all of his cool toys. And then Saturday evening we went to the Lebanese Food Festival with Lauren and Hunter. Isha had a good time listening to the music and dancing for everyone! What a ham!

A Visit To The Doctor

Isha woke up from her nap Friday afternoon with a fever, but she didn't seem sick so we gave her some Tylenol and she was fine. She slept fine that night, but woke up with the fever the next morning so we called the pediatrician's office and they said to bring her in. Luckily they have early morning sick visit hours on Saturdays. The diagnosis was an ear infection in her left ear. So now we get to do 10 days of antibiotics. Isha is still in a pretty good mood considering she still has a slight fever.

New Pictures

I took Isha to Portrait Innovations today for some pictures. I told myself that I was just doing the $9.95 special and no more. When I went in I told the photographer that all I wanted was one pose and I stuck to it and walked out spending $10.49. I was so proud of myself. So here is what we ended up with. Isha would not let go of me and she kept fussing and whining so I wasn't sure it was going to work. I wasn't sure how we were going to get a shot since the last time she had pictures she wasn't able to walk so we didn't have to deal with her running over to me and crying to be picked up. Puffs did the trick. I put a handful of puffs on the pillar and it was all good after that. Except that in half the pictures you can see her mouth stuffed full of puffs. I have to admit that it did make choosing my one pose easier. For all of you that are still waiting for Isha's Christmas pictures they will be in the mail soon with some of the new pictures.

I didn't buy enough pictures to get the CD so I had to scan this picture in. I didn't really know what I was doing, but somehow I managed to find the picture and get it posted, but I don't know why it has that white border. Oh well, at least I managed to get the picture posted.
