November 17 Update

Rohin – you’re getting closer to two years old every day. You’re now 19 months old. You just started swim classes this past week and LOVE it! You didn’t want to leave the class on the first day and are kicking your feet a little bit and love to run around in the shallow end. Eating wise, you’re a little pickier these days. You love pizza, mac-n-cheese, and daddy’s special spaghetti. You enjoy playing in the sink, running around the house, and still love being outdoors. At night time, you grab a blanket and drag it around the house and sit on mommy or daddy’s lap while we read a book to you. Before we go to bed, you play this game where you point to different parts of mommy and daddy’s face and you even know all the parts now if asked. Recently, you’ve been asking for you mama often. This past Saturday, you kept saying “mama” and “mama car” to daddy – who took you over to see mommy over at work. Your godmom was over this week, and you love spending time with her – you even let her put you to bed. You also have a new trick where you enjoy leaning across your brother Talin when he is in his bouncy seat.

Happy Halloween!!

Well Rohin, Happy 2nd Halloween! This year you and your brother dressed up as dragons, while mommy and daddy dressed up as a cowgirl and native American. We visited your fairy godmother Judy who gave you and your brother stuffed animals and a stuffed pumpkin. You also visited thatha and ammuma. You also went with mommy and daddy to a Halloween party where you played with the kitchen toy for most of the evening and played with daddy running through some curtains that were hanging at the openining of the door at the basement.

October News

Well Rohin, October has been an interesting month so far. You and Talin now have a new nanny named Kate who you both love so much. You are growing so fast now. You love to ride in your little car, and in the electric minicar -- you can push the accelerator yourself. You love to be outdoors. Your tastes are starting to change. Of course, you love pizza and spaghetti, but you also are now eating quesadillas and even have tried some indian food. Your vocabularly is starting to grow too. You can say squireel, spider, car, water (in spanish too), mama, dada. You can also say compound words -- like bye bye spider. You love to play "ride em cowboy" where you get on top of daddy or mommy and want them to bounce you. You love to read books, and give kisses and hugs to mommy and daddy. Your favorite show at the moment seems to be Yo Gabagaba. You also really like to get in the laundry basket and boxes! Also, mommy and daddy had big news in October. It looks like you're going to be a big brother again! We have a third baby on the way! We love you Rohin!

The Pumpkin Patch

Well, lots of things going on these days. You're really starting to talk more Rohin and jibber jabber. You know the word bugs and cars pretty well. You love being outdoors and riding on the lawnmower with daddy and playing in the dirt.

Over the last weekend, with went to the pumpkin patch in Bluemount. You loved to play on the bouncy with daddy and also you fed and pet the cow, horse, and billie goats. One of your new passions is that you love to play in the sink while standing on a stool. You also love to play in the bathtub and get mommy and daddy wet with all of the splashing that goes on.

18 Months Now!

Rohin, I cannot believe how big you’ve grown. You’re such a smart little boy. Let’s see, where to begin. First, a funny story. So daddy loves to watch wilderness survival shows and apparently, you do too. While watching man vs. wild on TV, you watched the host of the show eat a worm but spit it out. Immediately, you starting making spitting noises to act like the host of the show. The funniest moment came when you came up and kissed daddy and then ran out on the deck and made a spitting noise! Daddy laughed out loud.

You love to be outside Rohin – it’s your favorite thing to do. Mommy and daddy take you out back so you can play in the yard and ride on daddy’s lawnmower. You actually walk up to the barn and point for the lawnmower. You’re still a great eater and particularly enjoy spaghetti, strawberries, green beans, lima beans, zucchini, mac-n-cheese. You’re still in diapers right now, but we don’t think that will last long. You still go to bed at 7pm and get up around 6am. You take a nap about 9:00am and again around 2 or 3pm for about an hour each time. You’re a great brother and come up to Talin and pat him on the head or try to feed him a bottle sometimes. You also love to read books. Mommy and daddy read to you everyday.

You’re running a lot now, which means you have some pretty spectacular falls on the floor sometimes, but after a few seconds, you shake it off and keep on trucking. In evenings sometimes, when daddy is cooking, he will give you pots and pans so that you can play on the floor next to him and help him cook. You also love going to the playground and particularly like the stairs and the sliding board. We love you and Talin so much and love every moment with you both.

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!
