Christmas Pictures

We are a little late getting Christmas pictures taken this year, but as they say, "Better late than never." This morning we went and had them done. I almost skipped it all together because I didn't feel like taking the time to do it and I didn't want to spend any more money, but since it was Diya's first Christmas I figured I better be a good mom and get the girls some pictures. Plus their dresses were so pretty and the girls are so darn cute that I couldn't resist!

We went to JC Penneys because I had a coupon and I have to say that I was pretty impressed. The pictures turned out great and I got just what I wanted and I didn't spend a fortune. We will definitely be heading back to JC Penneys for more pictures in the future.

Merry Christmas 2009

Merry Christmas

We had a wonderful Christmas. It was so nice to be home after being away for a week. We went to church on Christmas Eve with Adam and Laura and the girls got to get all dressed up in their pretty Christmas dresses.

Our beautiful girls!!

"One of these things is not like the other!"

We spent Christmas night with Adam and Laura. Here is a picture of all the babies in their first Christmas outfits. Mackenzie is on the left and Rebekah is on the right. These girls are going to be best friends!!!

Here is our Christmas tree on Christmas morning. Santa brought Diya a new exersaucer and lots of presents for Isha to open. I figured that Isha would tear through the paper, but she was pretty dainty with it which made for a long morning. We had to take a break from opening presents for Diya to eat and the rest of us to get a snack. Diya hanging out on the couch enjoying her first Christmas.

Isha wore her helmet most of the day and played on her "puter" all day long!!! This was a computer Christmas. Both of the girls got computers and Mommy even got a fancy little laptop, which she absolutely loves!!! The girls also got lots of cute clothes and fun toys to play with.

Diya checking out her new toy. I think that Isha is playing with it as much as Diya is!

Here is the mess that was left after opening presents. After we were done opening gifts we made a big breakfast of biscuits and gravy, eggs, and mimosas!! It was a wonderful Christmas.

Welcome Home

This is what was going on while we were in Jamaica! It is hard to be in your shorts enjoying the sun in the morning and be in your winter coat that same evening. At least the snow made it feel more like Christmas!

Oberoi Family Vacation In Jamaica!

We decided that we needed a break so we packed up and headed to Jamaica for some relaxation. We spent all of our time either at the beach or the pool. We all had a great time.

Isha loved spending time in the water!! She got an amazing tan the first day were there!! We brought the DVD player so when we weren't playing outside we let Isha watch movies in the room to keep her occupied. Diya spent all of her time in the shade either eating, sleeping or just looking adorable. The hotel had a playground area and Isha enjoyed playing with Clifford and making some friends on one of the cool and windy days. The weather was perfect while we were there. We only had one cool day and a few days of rain. It was nice because the temperatures were in the mid 80's so it wasn't hot and miserable!

Isha enjoyed her Pina Coladas until we realized that every time she had one she was covered in hives. After two trips to the nurses office for Benadryl she had to switch over to Strawberry Daiquiris. Poor thing! She also had to have a doctor come to the resort to see her because she had pink eye. That bought her 5 days of eye drops which she wasn't to fond of at first, but after the first few days she didn't seem to mind them. Thank goodness none of the rest of us got it. Diya was such a good baby the entire trip. She did amazing on the plane and she loved just hanging out on the beach or by the pool. I was worried about the sleeping arrangements, but she did pretty good. With lots of nursing and letting her sleep with me we got a pretty decent amount of sleep. Plus we spent every afternoon in the room napping so none of us were sleep deprived.

We did a little shopping and got both of the girls sun dresses from Jamaica. I hope that they will still fit this summer so that they can wear them again because they are so cute.

Every morning before breakfast we would claim our spot in the shade so that Diya and I wouldn't burn to a crisp!! Here is a picture of our pool and the beach. There was a little island that you could wade over to and there were boats out there with souvenirs and a lady that braided hair.

Isha loved playing in the sand. She met a cute little boy, Ethan, that she spent an afternoon with making sand castles and playing in the ocean.

We really enjoyed our trip. The ocean was beautiful and it was nice to have such a wonderful change of scenery especially since there was a huge snow storm at home! The Jamaican people were so friendly and always had something nice to say to the girls. The jerk pork and strawberry daiquiris were amazing, but most of all it was fun to watch the girls enjoying themselves!!!

Diya's Four Month Check Up

Diya had her four month check up and got a clean bill of health. She is 12 pounds and 10 1/2 ounces which puts her in the 35% for weight and she was 24 3/4 inches tall, which is the 75%. That really shocked me since she doesn't have the tallest parents. My mom's side of the family is tall and while I was pregnant Jai and I joked that Diya would probably turn out to be taller than all of us. If things keep going this way she might really do it. It will be interesting to see what percentile for height she will be in at her six month appointment.

Can You Tell The Difference

Here is a picture of the girls in the same outfit. The adorable sweater was knitted by my friend Megan. Can you tell who is who? Some times I think that the girls look exactly alike and then other times I can really see the differences. People are always telling me that Diya favors me more and I honestly thought they were saying it just to make me feel better, but I can really see the resemblance in this picture.

School Pictures, Getting Ready For Christmas and Snuggling With Mom

Things have been pretty busy at the Oberoi household lately. All of our passports arrived the other day so we are now set to head off to Jamaica for a weeks vacation before Christmas!!! Wish us luck! We plan on just relaxing by the pool and playing on the beach. Our Chrismas tree is up and decorated so it will be waiting for us when we get back. Diya is doing great. She is growing and getting bigger and cuter every day. She has started to grasp toys with her little hands and she is always laughing. She is also very ticklish so all you have to do is give her a little squeeze and you can get a big laugh out of her. She has also become very dramatic! When she wants something she isn't afraid to let you know.

There is nothing better in the world than snuggling up on the couch with my two adorable girls!!!

Here is Isha's class picture. I'm impressed that they were able to get 12 little two year olds to sit still that long. Isha is really enjoying school. She loves all of the art projects that they do and also really enjoys music class with Miss Ashley. I love picking her up from school and hearing all about what she did. I am so proud of her for being so grown up and learning so much.

I was really hoping that her pictures wouldn't turn out good because I didn't want to have to order any especially since she just had pictures a few months ago with Diya, but of course her pictures turned out to be totally adorable so now I am going to have to fork out a few more bucks!! How can you resist that adorable smile? I don't know how the photographer got her to sit still and give such a nice smile, she must have been a miracle worker, because every time I ask Isha to smile she opens her mouth up so wide that I can see her tonsils!
