Vaccinations

Sonali received her first round of vaccinations on Wed. Luckily I missed the trauma of the actual vaccination, in which she whimpered and sounded like a wounded animal. After getting home, she slept for 4 or 5 hours and then proceeded to scream. It's been 2 days now and she is finally getting back to normal. Last night she gave me a full faced smile, which we haven't seen. The other big news is that she is increasingly happy lying on her back for stretches at a time, during which I try to read to her and point at objects and name them (largely irrelevant I think).

Baarsa

We moved and held a naming ceremony for Sonali all within one week. Miraculously Sona was great and saved all her fussing until the end.

Sonali smiled at her mom yesterday. All is right in the world.

Sonali's first smile

Sonali smiled at her dad today! Twice! This was her first smile and made her mother very mad.

Aaji is coming

It's Saturday night and tomorrow Sonali's aaji is coming from Houston. Everyone here is looking forward to her visit and we're sure she is as well.
