Around Home

Well Rohin, you had a virus this weekend that caused you to have a rash on your body and a temperature around 100. So we were home all weekend. Here's a couple videos of you around the house!

August 2009

Well, summer is moving along quickly this summer. We took some recent pictures of you while we are at mommy's office hanging artwork. You were such a good boy and watched Dora, the Explorer.

You're growing up so fast Rohin. You don't talk yet, but jabber a lot. You seem to know what you're saying, but we don't quite understand yet. You still love to be outside. You're a great brother and try to give your little brother bottle sometime and pat him on the head like daddy pats your head. You love to eat about anything, but still love fruits, vegetables (like string beans) and spaghetti.

Mommy and daddy also bought you and Talin an electric car too! you couldn't wait to get into it, but haven't quite figured out how it works. you also love stairs! Your favorite books are "I love you" and "I want to be your personal penguin" and "Say Hello to the Farm". You love when your grandparents visits and Anna your nanny, who visits you everyday.
Also, mommy hasn't wanted to cut your hair -- but next week, you're going to get your first haircut!

Talin's Baptism Party

When we got back from the beach, the whole family went to grandma and grandpa's farm to celebrate Talin's Baptism! You had a great time too Rohin celebrating with your brother. You got to swim in the pool and you got so excited about being in a tent that Uncle Dow had setup.

You're growing up so fast Rohin. You understand practically everything now. You are saying a few basic words and are using lots of hand gestures. You are now trying to climb out of things now and still love light switches and doors!

Your First Trip to the Beach

Hello my little boy -- so we had a wonderful family vacation in July of 2009. We decided to go with the entire family to Ocean City, MD. We stayed at Sunset Island in a townhome. Grandma nd grandpa Jopp came with us from Sat. to Wed. and Ammuma and Thatha came up till Friday. Also, your godmother Usha, godfather chet and Aunt Nisha, Veena and Uncle Ahmeet came with your best friend Jovin. We had such a wonderful time. You got to go and play on the bayside and also on the Atlantic. You love to play in the sand. Dad buried you a little bit in the sand and you loved putting sand on the blankets. You also were very brace and walked in the water. We also had a race car float that you enjoyed using! When you got tired on the beach, you would climb up on daddy's lap. The weather was absolutely perfect and mommy and daddy and Talin loved being all together with our family. We love you Rohin!

15 Months and Counting!

Rohin, our little boy, you have settled into being a great big brother. Sometimes daddy rubs your head and you do the same thing to Talin. You also help daddy burp Talin too by patting on his back. You have gotten so tall! You love to pat people on the back when they are carrying you. You know a couple words, including "good job", "baby', and a few others I'm sure but we haven't figured them out yet. You love to talk, but again, we're not quite sure about what. You love to eat vegetables and fruits more then you like meat. Your favorite vegetables are string beans and your favorite fruits are blue berries and oranges.

The pictures below were taken at the farm in June, 20o9 over father's day weekend when we visited grandma and grandpa. You're growing up so fast! We love you!

You're an Older Brother Now!

On May 15th Rohin, your new brother Talin was born. You've been curious about him. One day, daddy and mommy came home and put Talin down in his car seat on the floor. Daddy lost track of you and found you in Talin's room, with you taking your index finger poking Talin to see if he would open his eyes.


Here are some other pictures of you that we took this week, including you with your grandfathers and one of you with Yogi, who you love to hug so much!

Day at the Zoo!!!

Our great friends, the Talonis, celebrated Shreya's birthday at the Reston Zoo! This was the second time that you went in your entire lifetime! We had such a great time. It was over 88 degrees, which is unusual for April. You pet goats and sheep and then went on a wagon ride. On the wagon, you got to pet an ostrich and some sort of big bull!

Also, you started walking on April 23rd all by yourself now. You can now walk around without holding any hands anymore! We're so proud of you. You can turn and for some reason, you love walking upstairs. You still like to grab mommy and daddy's finger and go walking very quickly. You still love pop-up books and laugh so hard when we read the "where is mommy book" -- particularly the page on what's behind the plant!
