Kicking off Year 2 - January 2009

Hi Everyone,

I had a crazy start into the second year of my life. It started off with my birthday and then I was off to India.


The family

It was a "Finding Nemo" party.

Two of my friends, Preesha and Maya.

I got this play house and wagon for my birthday.














The trip to India was good an bad I enjoyed seeing everyone, but unfortunatley we also suffered a fire in Mumbai and we lost my great-grandfather (luckily I got to see him and play with him first). Here are are few pictures from the trip.

We love you and miss you, Nana.


This is my great grandmother.


This is my mom's Nita Masi, My Rutna Masi, & my cousin Anika.


This is My mom's Mehul Masa, Priti Masi, & my Parth Mama.

This was just some of the damage done by the fire in the room we were sleeping.













This is my new cousin Niket.






This is me with my Dada (Grandfather) and Lalu Kaka.














Well, that was about it. Hope to see you all soon.

Love, Sanya

HI everyone!!

Guess what? I am turning 1 tomorrow!! I am so excited. Mommy has invited a few of my friends over to the house and then on Tuesday we go to India!! Mommy is terrified and is hoping I stay healthy, but daddy not worried, he knows I am a trooper and and that I adapt well. Since the last time I wrote we celebrated Thanksgiving at Mamta auntie's house, I got to give daddy a birthday present for the first time, and then we went to Austin to celebrate Christmas. Christmas was a blast because I got to hang out with my cousins Shalin and Vishan and I also got to play with my friend Rheya. My next post will bea little late but will be full of tons of pictures as I will have pictures from my party and from india. So tune in!!

Lots of love,
Sanya

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!!
