Mid Summer!

Rohin, It's the middle of July and you're become such a mature and wonderful little boy. Mommy and daddy are so proud of you. So many things are changing and happening all at once Rohin. You love to kiss your little sister and pet her head. Your language is really developing -- you are talking in sentences practically and even saying funny things like "rock and roll" and "transform and roll-out". You love to zoom around the house in your little toy car (and can move amazingly fast). You also love to water your plants and have started picking your tomatoes recently and even helped mommy and daddy make mint tea the other day from the garden. You are very helpful and always get bibs for you and Talin prior to eating and love to play pretend sleep with your rabbit. In this game you close the door to the bedroom and say rabbit is sleeping. For some reason you love to say "be right back" when you run off to do things.

We've had a busy summer so far. We had July 4th at Ammuma and Thatha's lake house and you even got to see big fireworks that daddy lit off. We also had a big graduation party for your Auntie Sadhana. You had a great time running up and down the stairs that night and wore out your poor Auntie Savitha.

In other news - we had an earthquake measuring 3.7! Your mother was up that morning around 5am and came running into the bedroom to tell daddy after the house started to shake! She ran into the wooden penguin in the hallway with daddy waking up, rubbing his eyes, having slept through the whole thing. But it was certainly one of the biggest earthquakes ever in this area.

That's it for now Rohin. Oh -- the pictures below were taken at a recent visit to a children's gym on a Saturday morning. We love you so much!
