Sonam 18-19 Months!


Our Sonam has become a real sponge the past month or so, it amazes us every moment how observant she is and picks up on everything we say and do.  She is also quite the little helper (especially for her Dad....go figure :) She has been such a big help to Sunil lately since the knee surgery...she helps him get changed, eats his food when he doesn't finish, massage his knee and her new favorite physical therapy exercises! Sonam has a new found love in Elmo, she squeals and begs us to watch Elmo videos on youtube and insists on reading at least 2 to 3 Elmo books before bed.  Her love for food lately is tomato bisque soup, tandoori chicken and of course watermelon.  Here are some pictures from the past couple of months, lots of exiting fun things, Easter Egg hunt at the Thanik's, celebrating Melia's 2nd Birthday, visit from Ankit and celebrating Mother's day. 

Ready to collect some easter eggs at the Thanik's!

Happy Birthday Melia!

Good choice on the food Aunty Thao, I love it all!

Sonam 17 Months!




Wow 17 months already, time has really flown!  Sunil and I are having such a great time interacting and playing with Sonam, this is such a fun age.  She's really communicating so much, with some words and sign language, she definitely knows how to get us to give her what she wants.  
The pictures below are from Ashtami (Hindu Holiday), we got together at Samir and Meena's house and the kids had a great time playing and praying together!

Delhi India and then back to PDX

Delhi was our last stop before heading back home, we stayed with Meena's parents and had such a great time, they gave us one our most favorite memories of the trip, which was taking us to the ever so marvelous and breathtaking Taj Mahal!
