Sweet Dreams

Sanay is a little over 10 months old. Here is an adorable pic of him taking a nap. He says tha-tha-tha when he is really happy and having fun. He sings various versions of that sound. He can also copy facial expressions and words. He has started saying mum-mum and pa-pa sounds also.

First Birthday invite pic

Sanay is wearing a sherwani that Nanima brought for him. He looks so handsome! We chose this picture for his first birthday invitation card.

On the Rider

Sanay got a Rider as a gift today. No, he cannot ride on his own yet but we couldn't resist giving him a ride on it. He felt so empowered and had so much fun!!

Playing with Advaika

Sanay had a good time playing with Advaika when Geetan and Archana had come over. She showed Sanay the various toys and he played with some of them. It was fun to watch themplay.

Hanging out with Kavni

We went to Claypit with Rachana, Rasesh, Kavni, and Nanima. The dinner was not so good but Kavni and Sanay had fun. Kavni fed Sanay some cheerios and also bought a ball for him. Sanay loves playing baby soccer with it.

It's time to swing!

Sanay really enjoys being in the swing. Nanima, Mom, and Dad entertain him as he swings and enjoys the fresh breeze blowing on his face and hair. He also has fun watching other children play.

Our little prince

Sanay often extends his arms in the air like he is applying a lot of force. It may be because he feels some discomfort due to teething. But it also looks like he is doing the famous 'Singh is King' move so we sing along and dance with him to distract him. He is truly our charming little prince!

Sanay at Gymboree class

We took Sanay to the gymboree play class and he had fun playing the various games that the teacher showed us. The games are aimed at strengthening muscles and enjoying developmental milestones. We played swinging baby on the knee game, rolling a drum game, peek-a-boo, parachute game, sang rhymes and songs, and had fun as the teacher blew bubbles. Sanay also interacted a little with other children while playing games like peek-a-boo, and kick the ball.

A visit to the Dallas Aquarium

We took Sanay to the Dallas Aquarium a couple of weeks back and he had a nice time watching sharks, turtles, corals, a wide variety of fish and other sea life, birds, animals, snakes, bugs, and penguins. It was very hot outside and the rain forest and aquariums were mostly inside so we could still have a fun day out.

At Dad's MBA graduation

We went to Sanket's MBA graduation in Austin on July 19th. Sanay had a good time hanging out with Dad. Nani, Mom, and Sanay cheered as Sanket walked. It was a proud moment for all of us! We also went around downtown, saw the university campus and drove to a scenic point overlooking a lake. It was a fun weekend trip.

I am trying to crawl and stand

Sanay can get into a crawling stance but cannot crawl yet. He is also trying to pull up on us, sheets and other things and trying to stand up. As he pulls up, he can also come to a sitting position. He loves to walk with support. Sanay is getting 4 teeth - the upper and lower central incisors. He is getting a little fussy due to teething but he is doing well. He had his 9 months well baby check-up and did very well. He weighed 21.6 pounds and is 29.5 inches long. He got 2 shots and got some blood-work done and was a very brave boy. He only cried for a few seconds and then tried to play and smile after that. He makes mommy so proud!

My July 4th outfit

I was trying to find a cut outfit for Sanay for July 4th so I did some mix and match. I found a cute hat with flag colors and put a brown outfit to go with it. And I caught him in a cute pose as we were driving :)
