Welcome home Samara

She's home now swinging away.

The three of us just after birth

 

Introducing Samara Jain

Dear Friends and Family:


We are happy to announce that our punctual little girl, Samara Jain,
arrived on April 5th. She arrived on her due date at 5:03pm; as if to
say, "My time in here is done, I'm clocking out," and arrived after
putting in a mere three minutes of overtime.

She weighed 7lbs 2oz and was a whopping 20" long. Mom was a trooper
and completed most of her labor at home, we arrived at the hospital
just for the final stages of labor and shortly after arriving, Samara
made her entrance.

Samara and mom are both doing great and Sarina is proving to be a
caring older sister.

We will continue to keep our blog updated:

Attached is a photo from Samara's first day.


Love,
Smita, Sumeet, Sarina & Samara

in the meantime

Here's Sarina doing her morning yoga with Aji

Peacefully sleeping. (we know now, the peaceful sleep stage doesn't last long...)

Sarina has a new found passion for eating oranges. Good thing we have a neighbor with hearty orange trees we get to harvest.

Running, Running, Running

When Sarina is excited, she often starts running. She's clearly excited here, running back and forth between mommy and daddy.

Out for a jog

Sarina's all ready to go for a jog with daddy on this rainy and cold weekend. We had a little sunshine break and decided to take advantage of it by heading outside. To help with the sun sarina us sporting the new sunglasses mommy bought her.

Big Bird Dance

Sarina has a hilarious dance she does after bath time - especially when she has a big bird diaper on! (great marketing pampers!!) Usually she dances around nangu or with her diaper but I figured that was too x-rated for the blog - so here she is fresh out of the bath with pj's on doing the big bird dance!

Throwing rocks

Sarina and I discovered a little stream near our house that we can walk to and play near. I had promised her all morning we were going to go throw rocks in the water and here we are throwing rocks and competing for big splashes.

Eating noses

Sarina is big into pretending she's eating noses. I have no idea where this came from (though I suspect it has something to do with Daddy) I, of course, missed the first half of the actual nose eating where she was laughing so hard she could barely breathe, but I got some good giggles on camera. My favourite line is "I ate it ALL" ...

Sumeet was out of town for a week and a bit - Sarina was SOOOO excited to have daddy back home she made up new lyrics to her favourite song to serenade him. Here she is performing for him.

Sarina's Birthday & Birthday Party (much delayed!)

Apologies for how late this is but better late than never! Sarina turned the big "2" on Christmas Eve 2010. On her actual birthday we took her to do one of her favourite things - play at the beach. Yes, only in California can you have a Christmas Eve Birthday and enjoy the beach! We also sang happy birthday and blew out candles multiple times ("More? More?" every time the song ended) ... We celebrated her birthday with friends a week later and were so lucky to have Sarina's Dadi and Dadu, Booa, Didi and Bhaiya all in town from the East Coast to celebrate with her. (Sumeet's parents, sister and her kids!) She was a little overwhelmed by the crowd but enjoyed the party overall!

Beautiful beach day
