Aryaan - June 2010

June was a very exciting month. Aryaan had a lot of new things going on.

My parents came over to spend the day with Aryaan.

We went to Redskins training camp with Jayden, Arnav and Aryaan for Pesh's birthday. It was hot as can be, but definitely worth to meet Coach Shanahan.

We ended the day celebrating Pesh's 33rd birthday at home with the family. As always, we can never figure out who blew out the candles first.

We went to Aryaan's school for a summer open house. Aryaan had a great time with his cousins, Jai, Dev and Aanya. Aryaan went on his very first horse ride -- he didn't like it very much.

Aryaan - May 2010

Within a few weeks, Aryaan has mastered his walking skills!!

Aryaan made this finger paint drawing at school, so I decided to have him make a card for his dad. He started off pretty good, then started to eat it and then started freaking out.

Aryaan at his first pool play date with Dev and Jai Bhaiya. He did much better out than in...he didn't like it too much.

Ambar's 2nd Birthday Party

We went to Ambar's 2nd birthday party at a bounce/sports place. Aryaan had just started walking, so it was a fun sight to see. Pics are of Aryaan with his cousins.

Jayden's 8th Birthday

Jayden turned 8 and we celebrated his birthday at the gym and did some rock climbing too. I wasn't able to add all the pictures, but the guys did it as well and it was hilarious!!

Aryaan - December 2009

December, what a month! So much happened, that I will try my best to summarize everything. First, Aliyah Grover was born on December 4 - I took pictures of her in her beautiful purple room. Then, we went to Nisha & Amit's house for our annual Holiday party. Aryaan did very well that evening. He slept in Nisha's room, while we socialized outside. I've added quite a few pictures of Aryaan in front of our Christmas tree. I'm not sure if you can tell, but the presents started to pile up every day. Aryaan wasnt crawling before Christmas, but rather rolling. Because of the lights and the color, he would roll himself to the presents, tear off the bows, rip the presents and CHEW! We were also hit by the biggest snow storm that I've ever lived through. Our flight to Aruba was cancelled because of this beautiful weather, don't worry Aruba, we'll be there soon! We took Aryaan out in the snow and tried to force him do a snow angel, but he would just sink to the bottom. I think we ended up with something like 25" of snow the first couple of days. Romi and Sid had their baby girl, Nyla Doshi on December 22nd. I went to her house for her first photo session :). Finally, it was Christmas Eve. It's our family's tradition to open all presents at midnight, but because the amount of kids, we started opening presents at 10ish. Aryaan got his very first horse that rocked and neighed. Ahhh...sooo many presents to open! It was a lot of fun and very chaotic! Aryaan started to finally start crawling the day after Christmas...he learned to be very very fast in a short amount of time. We also went to Nana's house and we saw Boro Nani; again, Aryaan did very well with everyone!

Aryaan - November 2009

It was a busy month for Aryaan! First, uncle Amit brought a great toy for Aryaan - its colorful rings and he absolutely loves it! Next, Chris came over to take some family pictures for our holiday cards. Aryaan did very well, but had to take a nap in between. Then it was Aryaan's Nana's birthday; we celebrated by going out to eat and then came home for cake. It was Aryaan's first Thanksgiving. He had a great time with all his cousins and then for dinner he ate a Turkey leg (well, he saw it, held it and then threw it). The day after Thanksgiving, it was Eid. All of us had a great time with the family. Aryaan did very well and played with everyone! We were finally able to do a niece/nephew picture; the kids did great! Finally, Pesh and I took Aryaan to the Gaylord at the National Harbor. It was so cold outside, but so gorgeous! They had snow falling inside the hotel, we were all in awww.
