Diya Gets Her Ears Pierced

Diya went to the doctor today to get her ears pierced. She looks so cute with her earrings! She did a great job. When Isha had hers pierced she was screaming even before she had them done because she didn't like being held still by the nurse. Diya was just happy as could be and had no problem being held down by the nurse. The doctor said that it made it hard for him to do it with her just sitting there smiling at him. I already had a stomach ache, but when they did the actual piercing and she started crying it made me cry. It is such an awful feeling to know that your child is crying because of something you decided for them. Poor Diya!!

As soon as they were done they handed her to me and she stopped crying almost immediately and a few minutes later she had her big beautiful smile back. Diya is such an easy going and happy little baby. She looks cute with her newly pierced ears. I am glad it is over!!

Baltimore

Last week we spent a few days in Baltimore and we all had a great time. We took the girls to the National Aquarium and Isha loved the dolphin show. She also likes seeing the "Nemo" fish. She kept calling the sharks "naughty fish" and she enjoyed watching the divers feed the rays. We watched a movie in the 4-D Immersion theater. Boy was that interesting. Diya was hungry so I thought that would be the perfect time to feed her. Well, stupid me, I didn't realize that 4-D meant we were going to get sprayed with water, poked in the back by the chairs and have bubbles floating all over. Poor Diya was screaming and I felt like the worst/dumbest mother ever. Luckily we all survived. We spent Friday at the Port Discovery Children's Museum and Isha had a blast. She had fun playing in the balls and making art projects in the art studio.

I think her favorite part of the museum was the water works area.

Friday night we had a great diner at Amiocci's in Little Italy and then walked across the street to Vaccaro's for some gelato and cannolis. YUMMY!!

On Saturday we went to the Baltimore Basilica and took a tour and then headed down to visit with Jai's cousins in Fairfax and then a stop in Fredericksburg to visit with some friends.

We did lots of walking in the rain, but it was fun to be out and away from home for a few days. But traveling with a baby and a preschooler can be a little stressful so it was nice to get home and relax!

Happy 12 Week Birthday to Diya

It is hard to believe that Diya is already 12 weeks!! The time is going by even faster this time around, which is really hard because I don't want my baby to grow up so fast!

I absolutely love these girls. I am thankful every day to have two beautiful daughters!!! Diya finally fits in her outfit today so her and Isha were able to were their matching clothes from Grandma Louise. They have matching pants also, but Diya had a massive blow out this morning. Luckily we had these yellow pants which matched. While I was cleaning Diya up this morning I could hear Isha getting into something in the other room. When I went to check on her there was 20 feet of Christmas wrapping paper unrolled in the guestroom!!! Once Diya is mobile I am in so so so much trouble!

I love Diya's smile, especially her dimples!!!! Nothing melts my heart like a smile from one of my favorite girls.

Catching a little nap in the car seat. I love how peaceful she looks when she is sleeping.

Another nap in the car seat. When I went to check on her I found her headband across her eyes. I thought that it had just happened because she was wiggling around, but when I pulled the headband up there were marks where it had been sitting. I guess it had been there for awhile. Oh well, it didn't seem to bother her.

Happy Halloween

We had a fun night of trick or treating. We only went to 10 houses, but that was enough candy to make Isha happy! Here is my little Halloween princess. Isha didn't like the hat so she just wore her Halloween headband when we went out trick or treating.

Diya was an adorable little flower!! I love this picture. I put Diya in the Moby wrap and after a few houses she was asleep. Her head was drooping and someone said she looked like a wilted flower. Poor little baby.

Isha's preschool class had a Halloween party on Thursday, so Diya and I went to school with Isha to help celebrate. Her Isha is waiting with her teacher, Miss Manisha, to start music class.

Isha is laying back relaxing while her teachr, Miss Kim, reads a spider book to them. Their theme for Halloween week was spiders!!

The best part of the party...SNACKS. They had oreos that looked like spiders and cookies that looked like witch hats.
