Daddy eats O's

Sarina has learned how to both eat O's (cheerios, trader O's etc) and more importantly has started sharing them with daddy! See the video below to see sweet sarina feeding daddy.

Brunch brunch our favourite meal

Sarina and the clan had brunch downtown with some of mommy's coworkers. She was very well behaved as always and had fun sitting at the table with everyone, and afterwards on daddy's shoulders, and crawling around the floor.

Her first tooth was followed only a week later by a second tooth! She now has one on the bottom and one coming through on top, and they make a little clinking sound!

Recent Playdates - a full barnyard

Sarina had a fun play date with Annika, Isha, Saachi, Ezra and Naveen recently. Since it was Halloween weekend, we got one more use out of the outfits! We had a cow, rabbit, giraffe, skeleton and a monkey! Sarina also got to hang out with Anya recently who impressed us all with her walking.

Matching Matching (Same same but different)

Sarina and I dressed up as twins on Friday. You can't tell in this picture unfortunately because we had to use a flash and it made Sarina's shirt look redder than it was. But it's close enough as they say in Thailand - same same but different. Mommy and me in jeans and a pink shirt! (and Sarina with her green blanket that she won't let go of these days)

Oh - and a newsflash for those who are wondering - Sarina sprouted her first tooth last week. It's still working its way out, but I've confirmed its (sharp) existence.

Fun with Boxes!

Mommy was thinking of buying me a new playhouse type toy when daddy appeared with another one - cardboard box! I love crawling in and out of the big box and playing "light! dark!" with daddy. The smaller box is even more fun. Yesterday, everytime I crawled in, Daddy pushed me all around the apartment. It's like my own cardboard car! Here are some photos and a video of me playing with various boxes. They are my new favourite thing.

Our little Giraffe!

I know you got a sneak preview of Sarina's Giraffe costume for Halloween, but here's the real thing! Sarina didn't even mind the costume and kept it on all day. We started the day at Nishane's 1st birthday party, and then went trick or treating on the famous Belvedere Street. Sarina met some friendly chickens as well as many other kids - but she was the CUTEST (and only) giraffe.

Highlights from Boston (late)

Apologies for being so late on this post. Between losing our battery charger, consolidating photos from everyone and life just being busy, this post got lost in the shuffle. We had a wonderful trip to Boston in late September. Sarina loved seeing all of her family on mommy's side - aji, ajoba, mangal aatya (all the way from india), shama aatya (all the way from san diego), samir, mahesh and arundhati (and littlest sohum, pappu and his family, sanjay mama's family (especially hanuman and saoirse!), tonu etc... she had the most fun with the littlest ones. Here are some pictures from the trip ...
