Merry 2nd Christmas!

Merry Christmas Rohin! It's your second Christmas. This year, you and your little brother had such a great time. We also had a white christmas this year, as there was still lots of snow left over from the earlier storm. You absolutely love the Christmas tree and say "tree" often. Mommy, daddy, thatha, ammuma, grandma, grandpa and your aunts and uncles were all on hand to celebrate together. You had lots of new toys -- including a brand new mini-kitchen! You really enjoyed opening presents this year and were fascinated by the train that was under the Christmas tree.

During this time Rohin, you still sleep 12 hours a night, going to bed around 7pm and take a 2 hour nap in the afternoon. You still love pasta and fruits as your favorite foods. You're learning so many words now -- it's hard to keep up -- but you love the word car, tea and cup -- in addition to mama, dada, papa, thatha, ama. You do love to drink tea with mommy and daddy as well. Merry Christmas Rohin, our little boy!

Top 10 Snow Ever!

Well, we had perhaps one of the largest top 10 snow storms in the DC area. Today, all of us were home today preparing for Christmas. You went out with mommy and daddy and played on a sled today while mommy and daddy pulled you around. Also, one funny story today -- you were in the bedroom with mommy and spilled water. Mommy said -- oh oh -- we need to clean this up -- can you get a towel. You ran and came running back to mommy with a tissue -- except, it was the end of the toilet paper (you unrolled it all the way from the bathroom to the other side of our bed). It was so funny! Christmas is this week -- more to come soon!

Christmas is Coming

Well, mommy and daddy just got back from an excellent vacation in Cancun and you and Talin had a wonderful time vacationing with grandma and grandpa Jopp. You're very excited about the christmas tree this year and enjoy playing with the bulbs. one time you touched the bulb and daddy said 'ah ah ah" to get you to not to touch the bulb and you turned to him and repeated it. You also know your colors know, which came as a surprise to us. When ammuma was over, she would ask you to reach for the green or red or blue bulb and you did it perfectly! We're so proud! Also, you surprised us when we said "don't touch it" and you said "touch it". You're fascintated by the water in the Christmas tree and love to read books. We had a holiday Christmas party recently for the PDG staff and you had so much fun -- you ate cookies and ran all over ammuma and tha'tha's house. Only a little more time till Christmas!
