We celebrated a half birthday on June 19th. She weighed nearly 17 and a half pounds. Smiles a giggles all the time and adores her sisters. We had yummy mini cupcakes & gave her a jumperoo & some little toys. She was working on a little tooth that has since come in. We love our happy beans!
Since I have so much to post, and I never do, I'm going to start doing seasonal posts I guess. We did a lot in the spring this year. My husband's parents & niece came for a two month visit from India for the first time ever. We took a vacation to Orlando & visited Disney world, SeaWorld, did the Holy Land Experience, Niagara Falls, DC, and celebrated Easter, 3 birthdays, an anniversary & Mothers day together! We had a wonderful spring, well all except for Vaishali's tonsillectomy & adenoid removal!
This is the first year we've ever really celebrated St Patrick's day and the girls really enjoyed it. In the morning before school I gave them some St Pattys themed bows for their hair and green necklaces. At school they did St Pattys crafts & made a leprechaun trap. After lunch we made a green cake and then I hid leprechaun gold all over the house. After their hunt for leprechaun gold we did a treat toss to collect their candy loot. They said it was the best day ever! I can't believe I only took one picture & a sweet pic of beans.
Arya is such a cute little chunk with her chipmunk cheeks. I took her to the doctor the other day and she weighs 10 pounds 11 ounces! The girl is growing good! She's so sweet and loves to be held. She sleeps best when she's laying on Daddys belly. She will cry if you put her down and stops instantly the moment you pick her up. Sometimes she'll even stop if she hears you coming or sees that you're coming to get her, smart little girly. She's starting to try cooing when you talk to her. I love it!
Arya was born Friday December 19th at 3:52 pm weighing 8 pounds 2 ounces. She's perfect & oh so sweet.
Today we had another ultrasound & Arya is measuring 2 weeks ahead in her size! She was tasting her hand & making a cute face which the ultrasound tech was able to get pics of. So cute. Look at those chubby cheeks.
We've spent a lot of time around the house the past few weeks trying to recover from respiratory infections before the baby comes. We finally went out for a while the day after thanksgiving & hung out at the mall for a few hours. The girls did pics with santa, the JOY pics, looked at the festival of trees, & played at the bouncy place. Now we're back to a weekend at home. Finally, tomorrow they'll get back to their routine & back to school.
We got a good bit of snow today! Yay, we love snow! The girls played out with Daddy for a bit. They built a snowman, went sledding, & through snowballs. I baked desserts & breakfast muffins for tomorrow. Now the girls are playing with their frozen castle on the train table we made into a winter wonderland.
All of us have been sick this past week. We're trying hard to get better, however the girls are getting a little bored of being at home. Luckily, the weather was really nice today at a warm 70 degrees! After lunch we played outside for a while soaking up as much vitamin D as possible. Once they were finished with that we came inside to make snowman crafts. We're expecting 3-6 inches of snow on Wednesday. I'm hoping everyone is feeling better so we can play outside in the snow for sometime :-)
