Bye Bye
Rhea waved bye bye for the first time yesterday. I was at home with a sprained back (lonmg story so will skip the details) and was at home. I was upstairs in bed most of the time. Whenever I came down though Rhea would get really excited and babble loudly and smile. When I didin't go and get her from Daddy and Mummy she would have this really perplexed look as if to say ‘Why aren’t you carrying me, mamma'. She would keep looking at me for the longest time. Finally I broke down and carried her few times. She didn’t want to go back to Daddy or Mummy from me after that. Pavam vava. Finally I had to say ‘Bye Bye’ in an attempt to trick her to think that I’m stepping out. I was shocked when she waved back in response. I didn’t know she knew to wave. I was so excited and kept saying bye bye to see her reaction!! It was such a cute sight and she must have been wondering what the fuss was all about. Oue lil baby is growing up so fast…

Dressed for chilly weather..
Its getting chillier by the day. Days are getting shorter which means that I leave when its drak outside and by the time I get back from work the sun is beginning to set. None of us are liking the extra layer of clothes and jackets we have to put on. Here is a couple pf pictures of Rhea before we left for church today morning.
How's my new outfit
Do you like my hat?
Happy Diwali!
I tknow this post is a few weeks late. But I have the cutest picture of Rhea in her 'Indian dress' as sean referes to it. He even said ' She looks like a princess' when he saw her in the outfit.
I'm a princess
I have to admit sean looked smashing in his kurta-pajama. He didnt want to be pictured and avoided the shutterbug like the papparazi were hounding him :)We went to our friend Kala and Parimal's house for the Diwali party. Sean had a graet time and enjoyed watching the fireworks. Rhea enjoyued being the centre of attention..she was the only baby there and hogged the limelight!

Sean's 3 year stats!
Sean had his 3 year well child check up on Friday. I know...I know..he turned 3 almost 5 months ago...but hey better late than never.
Dr Howell mentioned that he is doing well. He was supposed to get his flu shots next weekend but since we were at the Drs office she asked if we want to go ahead and take it then...well sure why not...its easier to take care of 1 cranky kid at a time. Rhea is also scheduled for her flu shot next week. Sean wasn't too happy about the shot and shed a few years whenn he got poked but bounced back to his cheerful self after the pain wore off in 5 mins. Below are his 3 year stats. He is in the 75th percentile for height and 25th percentile for weight.
Weight 31 lbs
Height 39 3/4 inches
Head Circumference 18 3/4 inches

Rhea is 7 months
Rhea turned 7 months today! She is such a joy!! She has been busy the past month and happend to sit on her own. SH ehasnt repeated the feat and I attribute it to the long nasty cold that really borught her down. She is slowly bouncing back to her normal self again. She is very close to crawling on all fours. But she has figured to scoot from one point to another and manages to go after all her toys and cheta's choo choo trains.
I'm 7 months old!

My New shoes!
I have been meaning to get a new running shoes for months. The last time I shopped was right after I resumed jogging after Sean was born..so about 2.5 years ago. I was beginning to get knee pains after my runs these past few days, which definitely is sure sign of worn out shoes.
Aji, Sean and Me went to the running store on Saturday. The one I was wearing was a Mizuno Wave Rider and I had fell in love with it because its so light and also has lot more room in the toe area. The store didn’t carry the same model in the latest version in my size and the gentleman showed me a pricier model that had lot more support. It felt great but was $40 more and I felt that I couldn’t justify the extra $$. He said that he could place an order for the one I wanted. In the meantime I tried out other brands to see if I had more options – Nike, Asics, Saucony, Brooks…I tried them on and did a quick jog on the track in the store. One after the other my feet screamed – NAH..NAH...NAH.They seemed to still be in love with the Mizuno Wave rider. On a side note - one cute thing was every time I tried on a shoe and ran down their indoor track Sean would get excited and he would run up and down on the track. It was fun to see him getting hyped to run on the strip of indoor track. Hopefully he will develop a love for running and in couple of years we can all go for family jogs! We placed an order for my shoes – he showed me one in a smaller size and I loved the color too…it was a combination of lavender, blue and purple different from the Orange, grey and white I have now. I guess they change the color of all their models every year.
My new shoes
My shoes arrived earlier than expected and I picked it up on the same day(Tuesday) but couldn’t run the same day or on Wednesday since Sean was really cranky (no nap) both days after I got home late after my trainings and I just spent time with the kids. Finally yesterday I got home at my usual time, spent some time with Sean and Rhea and got on the dreadmill (yes I dread the treadmill…I prefer running outside, it is so much more enjoyable and the time passes quickly when u have so much to gawk at :). I ran for half hour…kness felt good and I was HAPPY!
Sean came down by the time I was done and as I was stretching he looked at my shoe and pointed to the lavender color and said ,
I don’t like that color
Me: Which color, the lavender?
Sean: Yeah.
Me: See its got purple too. They didn’t have any other color shoe Sean.
Sean: In the store they had a pink one. I liked the pink one.
He was referring to the more expensive one. I didn’t think he’d remember that.
Me: Purple is nice too. Maybe next time I’ll get the pink ones Ok.
Maybe next time this model will be in pink and I don’t have to shell out the extra 40 bucks.

Visit to Cox farm!
Yesterday we went to Cox farm which is 10 mins from our home for the Fall festival. We've been meaning to make a trip here for the past 3 years since we moved but it happened only on Monday. Rhea stayed home with Appacha and Ammachi as she had a lingering cold...
Seany and Dada
Look at all the baby pumpkins!
It was a lot of fun...sean had a great time. Anishchayan and fly, Parimal, kala and kids and our new friend from church Roshan and his kids were also there...
Sean was quite the dare devil and we were tremendously impressed! He was not scared to go on any of the slides and even came alone on most of them.
The bigger steeper slide, Mommy and Sean did together.
Woohoo!!!
Dada and Sean did bungy jumping there was also a ton of other activities like - Penny search, Hay ride, fun mazes with hay, milk the cow, lots of baby animals etc..
Sean, searching for penny's in the Penny Pit
Hello Bessie, the cow!
How tall am I??
We followed the rules and had a bum-bastic time!!!
Me and Aji had lots of fun doing silly stuff too...
That was fun! Can we do this again tomorrow???

Winter Ready ?
Yesterday I finally sat down and took out Sean's winter coat from when he was a baby. I wanted to make sure Rhea can use it. She seemed pretty excited to get into it but lay still afetr we zipped her in. I guess there wasnt much moving she could do in it.
I wonder if she will fit in her baby car seat with this huge one piece winter suit. We will have to try it and see. Hopefully it will work and we wont have to buy a car seat now!
Sean has outgrown his winter jacket from the past 2 years. So we need to get him one. he is not a huge fan of shopping (I guess i can attribute it to the Y chromosome) and was alomost in fits when i suggested we hit the stores yesterday. We will have to look around soon though since it is getting chillier by the day..

All set for Halloween..
I already got Sean's halloween costume for this year. Its a secret so you will have to wait till the end of the month for the scoop. I mean it not a huge surprise if you know his fascination for all the 'BOY' stuff.
Well, for Rhea I didnt want to get a new outfit since we had sean's first costume. We tried it on and it was a perfect fit. She looked so cute in it...
So here's a fun trivia - take a look at Rhea's picture and guess what she is going to be ...no prizes for guessing right since its a no brainer...

Sitting up.
Rhea sat up on her own for the first time yesterday..YAY!!!
She did it only once so far and Ammachi was the sole witness. She is trying mighty hard to repeat the feat. She can now stand aon all 4's effortlessly and most of the time she will rock herself back and forth as if to gain momentum to make that final turn to sit. She is at it all the time and we're sure in no time she will do it with ease. Its a cute sight to see her work on it...i'm alomsot always tempted to help but what good would that do...
If we catch her in the act again I'll try caprure the evidence and post it here...
GO RHEA!!!

Mamma's little helper!
Sean has been insisting on claening the table after dinner these days. Appacha does this everyday and he decided it is his job to do it. He is pretty good at it and even puts the mats away after he wipes it. We didnt show him how to do it, i guess he was watching appacha everyday.
Cleaning the placemats..
Putting the placemats away..
The only downfall to it is that after the first couple of days he has been running out of patience to wait till we finish dinner and slowly sneaks in one mat after the ohter while we're still having dinner. We tell him he doesnt have to do it (well, not for another couple of years) but he is adamant about it so we let him have his way

Fall already...
Well the weather certainly feels like that...it was quite chilly this weekend and I had to give in and take out their fall clothes...
This is right before we left for church..
Aren't we cute!
Looking pretty!

piano maestro..
Yesterday I took both the kids to the basement and we played a lot. It was a lot of fun...Rhea looked like a prodigy on the keyboard. Of course she got a lot of help from her big brother too...Here are the pictures...
Clowning around...
Sean had a lot of fun wearing his clown hat and being silly...he also played in the tunnel and Rhea had fun playing all of cheta's toys...it was her first trip down to play and she had a blast..

Treading unknown territories...
Rhea is a busy bee these days...she is cautiously exploring unknown territories as she tries to teach herself how to crawl and it is very interesting to watch her at it relentlessly and with so much patience and perseverance. It is hard to imagine that as babies we all have so much patience and really don’t need someone to keep us going without giving up. She is definitely giving me a lesson on persistence and patience (I could use it the next time I’m struggling with something and about to give up).
From yesterday she figured how to stand on all fours, her butt up in the air – it is such a cute sight. She will then gently rock herself for a few seconds as if to gain some momentum to make the next step.
In between she will take a break and do something that she has already mastered like chomping on her toes...maybe she is thinking about the next move...
She managed a tiny step yesterday and I'm sure before long she will be crawling all over the place. She will also somehow scoot and reach for the ball or other toys that are just out of her reach.
Most of all though she loves to play with Sean's toys. If cheta is playing with his globe, she wants it too and will scoot and hold onto it and try to put the joy stick in her mouth. I guess that’s her way of 'figuring out' things. Sean will then launch into the innumerable 'Mamma, baby is not letting me play! She is putting it in her mouth etc etc..'
I hope this little one will not be bossing around her ever loving gentle cheta...I'm sure he will toughen up eventually. I can already picture all the fights these two will get into soon ...definitely brings back memories of me and pavi fighting...it was a lot of fun now when I look back. Priyachechi was the gentle older sister always staying out of trouble and was always there for us with advice and guidance.Hopefully Sean and Rhea will also share a wonderful bond like I have with Priyachechi and Pavi or what Aji shares with Anishchayan.
Sean is a playful little guy, full of mischief at times but also very loving and passionate and a very caring big brother to Rhea...Hopefully she will imbibe all these same qualities and reciprocate..

Who did it ?? - The case of the mysterious boo boo
Yesterday I was giving Sean a bath and like always I let him play in the water for a few minutes before the actual 'bath' itself. After several minutes he still didn't seem ready so I had to finally tell him, Sean, Mamma has a boo boo in my hand. So lets take a quick bath.
And that started it all. The next few minutes were interesting to say the least.
Sean: You got a boo boo?
Me: Yeah Sean, see in my hand (it was my tendinitis flaring up again in my right hand and it was painful)
Sean : How did it happen?
Me: I dont know sean (usually i know but this time i couldn't remember what triggered the flare up)
At this point he really thought that some one hurt me and thats how I got the boo boo. So he said,
Sean: Who did it?
Me: I dont know Sean.
Sean: Appacha did it?
Me: No Sean, Appacha didnt do it.
Sean: Ammachi did it?
Me: No Seany
Sean: Baby did it?
Me: No
Sean: Sean did it?
Me: No
Sean: Daddy did it?
Me: No...
Sean: Jogging did it?
At this point he had a look of concern on his face as he was trying to narrow down the problem and I just had to give him a big hug and kiss his forehead and assure him that everything is fine. He seemed so determined to get to the bottom of this. I dont think in his mind he thinks that Appacha, Ammachi, baby, he or dada would hurt me but i guess those are the people he's close to and come to his mind first..
Hmm...I'm beginning to think that I have a budding Sherlock Holmes at hand...

'Feel Good' days..
You know the kind of days I'm referring to - the ones that you accomplish almost everything you set out to do at the start of the day and still have some left in your tank to really pat yourself in the back and bask in your self glory a little bit before you hit the bed. What I have discovered is that over the years you add more and more to your juggling act (esp. after having kids) and you do get better at it with time and experience. I have to admit that my definition of a 'feel good' day has evolved over the years.
Yesterday was one of my 'feel good' days and I really wish I had more of them. The day didnt start off too well since I started a little late for work but I managed to feed Rhea before I left, wash her bottles from the night and pack both mine and Aji's lunches. Our fruit basket was almost empty from the weekend and I was dreading the magnetic pull to the vending machine at work but i managed to distract myself with a jolly rancher (hard candy) and steer myself away from the evil vending machine (which in itself is a huge accomplishment) the entire day. I got off work at my usual time and even made a quick trip to the mall to pick Rhea's baptism portraits (luv the light traffic days ...wish everyday was like that!!!). Picked up sean who was in great spirits and he was doubly happy when I gave him a candy and we proceeded home. No last minute grocery shopping to do YAY!!! Got home and Sean was good and drank his milk which some days I have to coax him to drink and Rhea as usual was her chirpy self. Watched some new movie songs on Surya TV and sent Daddy and Mummy for a walk. Sean was a happy camper watching 'Snow Whitea nd the seven dwarfs'. I played with Rhea for a while...lots of giggles and squeals. After Daddy and Mummy got back I sneaked out for my jog (Sean is not very happy when i go out jogging as he want s to come with me). Felt so good to be out there...it was pleasant and perfect running weather. Got back and by then mummy fed Rhea her cereal. I gave Sean a quick bath and dinner (Appam and Stew) which he ate well(he was starving). Aji was working late which was a bummer. I showered, inhaled dinner (since it was Rhea's bedtime and she was beginning to get cranky) and got both the kids to bed by the time he got home. I think anyday I can get my workout in is 'sweet bliss' for me...wish everyday was like this or better....one can always strive right!

Sean and Rhea meet more family!
Friday night we had Ammama (Mummy's aunt) her daughter Meena and family visit us. Ammama is here for 6 months and is leaving next month. Meena and Will have 2 cute girls - Ammu who is 3 and is the same age as Sean and Vidhya who was born just 3 weeks earlier than Rhea and is 6 months old. It was a fun weekend and the kids got to have so much fun with their cousins. Sarah, Sean and Ammu played well.
They pretend read some books, watched tv, rode the tricycle and scooter and also played on the playset pretending to be astronauts on a space ship.
Vidhya and Rhea were totally unaware of each other even though we tried to get them to play together. The closest they came to having any interaction was to grab the rattle from the each other. It was a cute sight! I'm sure next time it'll be a different story!
Ammama had a great time catching up with mummy. She seemed very happy to have made the long trip to visit us. Will was a good sport. We were all worried if he will find the food spicy but he totally enjoyed all the Indian food, from mummy's spicy rajma curry to the Biriyani that chechi made. Meena was just happy to see Ammama happy. She enjoyed the Masala Dosa that she was craving for and Ammu loved the Idlis and chutney they got for her from Minerva (Indian restaurant).
Sean was very sad when ammu had to leave Sunday morning. Even though they had a small fight 2 minutes earlier he still didnt want them to leave and kept saying 'I dont want ammu to go'. He is already talking about having them visit us again. I told him all about the chicken house and the fish pond ammu has at her place and sean is excited to make a trip. We should plan on making a visit.
