Thanksgiving

We had your first Thanksgiving together with the family, with 31 people. You were such a good boy and even ate some of the turkey and potatoes. We got everyone together the next morning for breakfast and than spent time just relaxing.

First Words!

Well, it's November already and it's been a busy month. Sorry for not posting more regularly. The big news this month is that you said your very first words - DADA. Dad was driving home after picking you up from daycare and heard you say these first words. When we got home that night, you kept saying DADADADA. Now you're saying it all the time. It's very cute!

You've been trying to stand-up more and trying to crawl more as well recently. You are such a wonderful son and always have a smile on your face.

In other news this month, you grandpa and grandma was welcomed into the Knights of the Holy Sepulcher. You spent the evening with your fairy godmother Judy and fairy godfather George!

Your First Halloween!

Well -- it's your first halloween and this year, FCC, your pre-school held a halloween parade! So all of the kids got dressed up - you were a tigger from Winnie the Pooh! Mom, Dad and Dow all came over to see how cute you look. It was such a wonderful day and you had a great time watching all of the people. Mom was dressed up as a baby today and had just came back from work in time to parade with you!

Splish Splash!

Bath time with Rohin! At the last doctor's appointment, you are now over 17lbs and 26" long!

First trip to the zoo!

Today, mommy and daddy spent the whole day with you and we relaxed and went to the Reston ZOO, where you got to feed the lambs, goats, lamas, and swans. You loved the lambs and had so much fun!

Family growth

Well, you're almost 7 months now Rohin! Mommy and daddy cannot believe how big you've grown this year. You love to eat solid foods and don't like milk as much anymore. You love sweet potatoes and applesauce. You trying to talk more now and still have your cute high pitched shrill! You get that from mommy who loves to play with you in that voice. You have so many cute names too -- you're known as Rohin, Rohinder, Tinder, Rohinder Tinder, Bum Bum, Pum Pum, and quite a few other ones.

Unfortunately this week, you're sick with another cold. Last night, you didn't sleep very well and weren't too happy when we got you up this morning. Lately, you've been waking up more often at night and mommy has been letting you fall asleep on her legs at night as she rocks you to sleep. She loves when you sleep on her.

In other big news, you're going to be a big brother soon! Mommy and daddy are expecting a boy or girl to come in May of 2009! We're so excited that you will have a brother or sister to play with and grow with. We love you so much Rohin! You're such a wonderful boy and we're so lucky to have you in our life.

Fall begins!

Well our little boy, fall is here! The biggest news of all is that we found out that soon you will have a brother or sister in May of 2009!

It's been a buy fall so far. You've been in FCC (Federal Children Center) and absolutely love it. They take such good care of you while daddy and mommy work. You're 17lbs now on your 6 month birthday. You smile a lot and laugh for some reason like laugh when we sing the letter "H" in the ABCDs.

On September 14th, we went with ammuma and thatha Pal and went for your first game of golf at the country club in Purvellville. You loved being on the golf cart and had a lot of fun with ammuma who sang to you.

On September 20th, mommy and daddy took you to visit grandpa and grandma Jopp. You had a cold this weekend, but that didn't get in the way of you having a great time!
