Sanya at 10 months

HI Everyone,

This has been a pretty easy going month for me but exciting for my family. I have TWO new baby brothers, Niket Patel and Vishan Lakhia. I am so happy!!! I am not the youngest anymore!! I got to meet baby Vishan and he is very cute. I have only seen baby Niket in pictures so I can't wait to see him in January/February. Here is a picture of Nana taking care of me and Shalin as we wait to see Vishan baby at the hospital:

I also celebrated my first Diwali and I had a blast (literally) Raju Mama had a TON of fireworks for us at his house for Diwali.

For Halloween I was "Boo" from "Monster's Inc." and I got to wear a cool shirt that Auntie Cheri made for me:














My new favorite toy is daddy's DVR and I love turning it on any chance I get. It is late now and it is time for bed. Bye.

One crazy, busy month - Sanya is 9 months old

HI everyone,

First, to everyone in Houston, I hope every one is safe and has power (I am assuming you do since you are reading this post). So this month started off calmly enough. I went to Parul aunti's baby shower to help welcome one of my new friends (baby Presha).






















Then we went to Austin for Rakshah Bandan (a Indian festival where sister's honor thier brothers) so that I could tie a rakhi on Shalin bhai (of course it had to be BLUE).




Then came Paryushan where I got to get all dressed up in a chanya choli that my Nani got for me from India.




















Then I started to get some teeth. Here is a picture of my first tooth.

















And then finally I expereinced my first hurricane (Ike, for those of you living in a cave). I didn't really get scared, but I had a place to hide in case I did. Can you see me?























Here are a couple of random pictures from this month as well.



















Anyways, I gotta go help mommy and daddy clean up after the hurricane.

Kisses!!

What a month!!!

Hi everyone,

This month I had a lot of firsts. My first Rakhsha Bandan (indian festival where sister's honor thier brother's), my first Paryushan (Jain holy week), and first hurricane (Ike, for those of you who live under a rock). So here is how the month went. I got to go to Austin to tie a rakhi on my brother Shalin. I had to make sure it was blue because that is his favorite color.






Then was Paryushan where I got to get all dressed up in my Chanya Choli.

Boy am I tired!! - Sanya is 8 months old

HI everyone,

I had a really busy month and I am exhausted. I am sleeping in my crib in my own room every night now. I ate solids for the first time.














I went to Austin and I met Manoshi Masi and I went to Shalin bhai's 2nd birthday party where I met a lot of new friends. I liked playing with Jasmine this time too.






















I also got to meet papa's friend's from Florida (Sanjeev uncle & Niki aunti and Anand uncle and Sunaina aunti).
















I get to see my Dada, Dadi, Kaka, Kaki, & Ishita didi on-line every couple of weeks too.















I am looking forward to my first Rakhshah Bandan, Paryushan, & Navrathri and of course I am anxiously awaiting my new cousins!! Time for a nap, Bye!!

I am 7 months old now!!

Hi Everyone,

Boy did I have fun this month! I went on my first trip out of Houston and I went to Minnesota (Minneapolis/St. Paul) and hung out with my Kevan Mama & Ludy Mami. Here are some pictures from my trip. Later this month I will be going to Shalin bhai's b0day party so I am sure I will have a ton more pictures next month.

Hugs & kisses,
Sanya

6 months old and lovin' life!!

Hi everyone,

So this month I have had a lot of fun. I have figured out how to turn really well and can scoot around so I can explore the house pretty well. My hair has gotten long and mommy keeps trying to put pigtails on me, but I keep pulling them out. Daddy has really improved his comedy act and has me laughing all the time (see the video below). Hope you will come visit me soon, I LOVE visitors!! Bye. - Sanya

Montage of ME!!

I am 5 months old now!!

Hi everyone,

I am sorry I haven't written in so long but I have been terribly busy. Mommy has started back at work and I have been breaking in my new baby sitter. My Dada and Dadi went back to India and I miss them a lot, but Nana and Nani come by to visit a lot. Since I last wrote I have learned to sit up with support, I play with my toes, and as of yesterday I can TURN OVER!! I went from my back to my tummy and was totally surprised! Masi thinks it was a fluke, but I did it again on film to show you all my new trick. I will upload it soon. Not much else going on. Daddy has been going a little camara crazy so don't be too surprised by how many pictures we upload. Gotta go now. Don't forget to write to me at sanya.r.patel@gmail.com Bye!!
