A Day at Maymont

We had beautiful 75 + degree weather this weekend so we decided to get outside and enjoy it! It was so wonderful to be outside and to feel the sun shining. We went to Maymont where we could enjoy all the big trees and some animals. We found a monkey playing in this tree. (Here is my belly shot! See what I mean about nothing there yet!)

Some of the trees here are perfect for climbing on and posing for pictures.

Isha and her Daddy

Isha was able to get up close to the carriage horses. She liked petting their soft noses.

The goats are very friendly at Maymont because they are used to being fed all day long by all the kids.

Go Broncos!

Here is Isha in her BSU overalls. She is playing with her friends at the Mall.

As for the belly pics...I don't have one yet. I am so long waisted that there is nothing showing. I can still wear my regular pants. Sorry girls, but I promise that as soon as there is something there I will post a pic for you. But here is a little bit of exciting news, I am now feeling the baby move and there is only three more weeks until we can find out the gender of the baby.

Snow Day

The snow started coming down Sunday afternoon and this is what we woke up to on Monday morning! Since everything shuts down when it snows, Jai and all the neighbors stayed home from work and all of us had a great time playing in the snow!

Here is our neighbor, Mike, giving Isha a ride on the sled. She kept yelling "More More".

Isha and Laura playing in the snow. Laura helped Isha make her first snow angel.

Isha's first few steps out in the snow were a little tentative, but as she got used to it she started having lots of fun. We had no snow pants for her, but luckily our neighbors had some extra pants that we borrowed to keep Isha warm.

This was Sunday evening when the snow was really coming down.

Isha Spends The Night

Adam and Laura were kind enough to watch Isha one evening so that Jai and I could go out on a date. We went and saw our first movie together since Isha was born! Not only did they watch her for the evening they also let her spend the night!!! It was strange to be at home and know that Isha wasn't in her room, but it was also really nice to get to sleep in just a little bit! Isha had fun eating waffles and watching Finding Nemo. Here she is the next morning at Adam and Laura's house.

Just a few pictures of Isha in her Hokies dress. She loves this thing. Now I just need to get some pictures of her in her BSU overalls.

Isha has been busy doing more artwork or in this case drawing a goatee on her face!

Luckily these markers wash right off!

Artwork

Since I have been sick we haven't left the house in days and Isha was getting a little stir crazy. So today we got the markers out and did some artwork to spice things up.

Thank goodness for washable markers! Isha had a blast trying out all of the different colors.

What a goof ball!!! She really likes to ham it up for the camera.

Happy Valentine's Day

Not much has been going on at the Oberoi house, but I figured I would post some cute pictures of Isha.

The other day she got a package from Auntie Meg in Seattle and inside was this adorable hand made bag with a book all about colors. Isha is such a girlie girl and she loves carrying her bag around.

Chowing down on some chocolate cake. This girl definitely has a sweet tooth. She must get that from her mother!

Here is Isha posing in her Valentine's dress that Grandma Louise sent her. I am telling you, this girl gets more mail than I do. Unfortunately we didn't do anything for Valentine's because I already had a cold and then I managed to get a stomach bug. Plus Isha had a cold and another set of ear infections. Oh well maybe next year we will be able to celebrate!

A Little Update On Baby Oberoi

We had an ultrasound this week and it was great to get to see the little baby. We really couldn't see much on the first ultrasound that we had at the beginning of the month because I was only 8 weeks along, but this time we could see lots of growth happening. It was also funny because when we had this ultrasound with Isha she was moving around like crazy, but this baby was very mellow. No jumping around and acting crazy. Hopefully it stays that way. We saw little arms and legs and a heart that was beating 161 beats a minute. It will be a few more months before we have another ultrasound and I think that I have decided that I want to find out the gender of the baby. I really feel like it is a boy so I am excited to see if I am right or wrong. I really don't care either way what we have. A boy would be fun because it would be a whole new experience, but a girl would also be fun because Isha would have a sister, plus there is nothing cuter that little girl clothes. One other exciting bit of new is that I only gained one pound this month. I was really prepared to get a lecture from the doctor about not gaining to much weight. Check out the poll and let us know your guess about the new baby's gender.

Happy 2nd Birthday Isha

It is hard to believe that our little girl is already two years old. We are having a blast being the parents of a two year old. She is always doing something to make us laugh and I love to hear her little voice. Checking out her new wagon that she got from Mom and Dad.

Here is some of her birthday haul. She is one spoiled little girl.

We had a few friends over for a play date for Isha's birthday. We all had a little lunch and lots of pink cupcakes!

The Birthday Girl!

We took Isha for her 2 year doctor appointment and other than a couple of ear infections she is doing great. She had only gained 4 ounces in the last 6 months, but I don't know how accurate that is because this time they weighed her with her clothes on so that is probably where the 4 ounces came from. Anyways she is no longer on the charts for weight, but she is in the 5th percentile for height at 31 and a half inches. Everywhere we go people are always commenting on how petite she is. Isha also went to the dentist for the first time the other day. She did great! She cried the whole time the dentist was looking at her teeth, but there was no biting or screaming. She also left the office covered in stickers, which are her new favorite thing! Everywhere we go she is always asking for "tickies".

Finally!

I finally got around to posting our Christmas adventures (It is below the new baby post). I am not sure I did the mosaic right, but after all the work I didn't feel like trying again! Blogger has also been weird lately about spacing. I put lines between paragraphs, but it still comes up in one big jumble. I was also going to post some other random pictures from our trip home, but now blogger won't let me upload pictures. ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

A Christmas Post Is Coming I Promise, But Until Then...

I am sorry that it has taken so long to get around to posting about Christmas. I now have all the pictures from my mom and I will be sorting through them and finally putting up some new posts about Christmas and our trip to Boise. But until then we have some big news here at the Oberoi house! That's right, Isha is going to be a big sister!!! We are going to have to come up with a new name for the blog because it is no longer going to be just baby Isha's world. Plus she is getting too big to be called baby Isha, especially since her second birthday is just around the corner!

Christmas 2009

Well, I am finally getting around to the Christmas post. I made this mosaic, but for some reason it is really tiny. If you want to see the pictures you have to click on the mosaic. I am going to leave it this way until Jai gets home and then maybe he can help me figure out how to make it bigger. Christmas was great this year. We went home to Boise for Christmas and it was great to spend Christmas with family and lots of snow! We opened some presents on Christmas Eve and then we opened some more on Christmas morning. After church we came home and let Isha catch up on some sleep before heading over to my brothers for another Christmas celebration and a wonderful dinner. Isha must have been a good girl this year because Santa brought her a stocking full of goodies, of which her favorite is the lip gloss. She is such a girl! She got lots of clothes and toys, and a few of her favorites are her nursery rhyme CD player and her pony! She also got a beautiful pair of opal earrings to add to her collection of jewels! Then once we got home from Boise there were packages from Texas waiting for her. She had a great time ripping open all of the paper and finding out what goodies were inside!

Thanksgiving

We spent Thanksgiving with our friends, Adam and Laura, and Adam's family. It was really nice to have a place to go for Thanksgiving dinner. We had a great time and also had a wonderful meal. Isha tried a little bit of everything and liked it all. She especially liked the radish salad. Look at all of the food on the plate. It was empty when she was done plus I went back and got her more turkey! After dinner Isha did a little dancing for everyone.

Playing with a sword. She was a little dangerous with this thing.

Isha loved having Kaitlin as her personal pony!

Giddy Up!

My Mom's friend sent this hat for Isha and she always gets tons of compliments when she wears it. It think it is adorable.

Isn't She Cool

I realized that it has been a few weeks since I posted anything here, so here is an update. Last weekend I had and eye appointment and these were the sun glasses they gave me since I had my eyes dilated. Isha has been playing with them ever since. We really haven't been up to much lately. We are laying low until we go out to Boise for Christmas. Isha has really started talking lately. She still speaks mostly gibberish, but her list of real words gets bigger every day. Here is her list: sorry, sock, shoe, toes, apple, stop, please, cheese, bubble, hot, bus, baby, phone, door, knock, shake, up, down, what's that, stitch, poo poo, stuck, where's it at, toot and last but not least: fart!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Daddy Goes To Kindermusik

Jai also had Tuesday off so we all went to Kindermusik together. Isha loved having her daddy there.

She was hording all of the shakers and only wanted to sit on daddy's lap.

Isha is just sitting back relaxing and reading her magazine. What a ham.

Wednesday we went over and had lunch with Mandy, Hartley and baby John. This is the first time we have seen them in months. Isha and Hartley had a great time playing together and they gave each other lots of loves!

The Natural Bridge

Jai had Monday off so we decided to head out of town for the day. We went to the Natural Bridge . Here Isha is all bundled up for the walk down to the bridge.

Here she is at the end of the trail stretching her legs before we head back.

Of course she had to climb around and check everything out.

Here are a few shots of the Natural Bridge. It is about two hours from Richmond.

Did you know that the Natural Bridge is one of the seven natural wonders of the world? Pretty cool! We had a great time getting out of Richmond and enjoying the wonderful fall weather.
