Vidya's First Solid Food

Last weekend, Vidya got to try her first solid food. She definitely enjoyed it, and kept wanting more. We are using the book Super Baby Food, which we love, to guide us and give us recipes. Her first four days, she ate brown rice, which we ground up before cooking to make a porridge. Yesterday, she had sweet potato. She didn't seem as enthusiastic with that, but she still ate all of it!

A few cute pics from FF

Vidya today

Here's our girl now. Her hair has gotten so long that we've decided to use rubber bands in it. I always thought that was cheesy but it actually is quite necessary and she looks pretty cute.

Giggle Video

I found this video that we took a few weeks ago. I love watching her giggle :)

Growing

Here she is in the same spot this month. She looks so huge compared to the June pic!

Today

Vidya and Sam

Thumb-sucker?

I have no idea how or why Vidya has suddenly adopted this habbit, but for the past few weeks, she's been sucking her thumb to soothe herself. It's pretty cute, though I hope it doesn't last too long...

Welcome Ajji!

Matching outfits

By pure coincidence, Mira and Vidya happen to have the same outfit.

Our trip to the pool

Vidya got to model her bathing suit at the pool the other day.

The water was cold, even in the baby pool. We were worried she wouldn't like it, so we went slowly, but she really enjoyed it, kicking and splashing for a long time.

Here she is practicing the frog kick:

Clearly she found the pool relaxing, because the next thing we knew, she was asleep!

Vidya's first plane trip!

Vidya got to experience her first plane rides when we went to DC a few weeks ago. On the way there, she slept the entire time for both flights - I'm pretty sure she didn't see the inside of a plane at all!

On the way back, she was awake for part of the time (and evidently wearing the same thing!) but quiet and happy, much to the relief of her parents (and I'm sure the rest of the passengers, as well).

Weigh-in, Month 2

On Vidya's 2-month birthday (which admittedly was a few weeks ago...), she went to the doctor for her check-up and first round of shots (hence the bandaid on her leg). Our little girl is growing, especially in the weight department. From month 1 to 2, she gained more than 3 lbs, for a weight of 11 lbs, 15 oz! She was also an inch longer, putting her at 22.9 inches. Her weight is now 75%-ile (it was 25% last month) and her height has stayed just above 50%-ile.
She did well during the shot - she had a delayed response to the pain, and then suddely burst into tears for about 30 seconds before she settled down and forgot about it.

Happy birthday Grandma!

Vidya got to meet her Great Grandma on her 87th birthday!
It was great to see you Grandma!
