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!

We're back!

Wow, it's been a while since we've posted! We've had a busy several weeks, and I hope I can get it together to organize some of the photos documenting all that we have done. Our baby is getting very big, and has been doing great. She's been sleeping long hours at night - only waking up once, and usually sleeping for 7+ hours during one stretch, which is great, as the semester is approaching and we're getting busier and need more energy! She's also learning to fall asleep on her own - in the morning we can now put her down in her crib and she'll fall asleep on her own. We're still working on afternoon naps, but hey, it's a start!
