Happy Halloween!

Candy Corn and the Little Pumpkin

Vihaan is wearing a Sara's hand-me-down costume. It was just perfect and fit him nicely. He was toasty warm and sat/run happily all over Rashmi's house. I was very pleased by the pictures Vikas took and was nice enough to email us the same night.

At the Grown-up Table

We went to a great pizza place in Maplewood for lunch today. Instead of hanging out in his carseat on the floor like he usually does, Vihaan joined us at the table. What fun seeing his cute little face up there with us!

What a treat!

Happy Halloween! It's Vihaan's first and he is wearing a nice shirt. He loves the Twirlin' Whirlin'  entertainment table.....when he can get to them b/c his big sis isn't in the way having her own good time on them! :)

Here he is doing his latest thing- walking. Again, I find it remarkable. He'll do this for a crazy amount of time. I find it hysterical to see this little 2' person just standing there looking around. I often ask him if he's waiting for the bus or something. ;p

No tricks here...he's standing alone. What a treat! :) 

Rear View

 This was what I saw when I turned around in the car this evening to Bharat's house to pick up our luggage .

Laugh out Loud

So do you not agree that this is one happy little boy? And would you say he's just a bit ticklish? And to think that this video was actually the second round of hilarity...I was too busy playing and laughing hysterically myself to take video the first time around. So what you're seeing is actually after about 10 minutes of previous tickles and belly laughs with an intermission spent going downstairs to get the camera. It is pure joy to see this little man enjoying life.

Vihaan's Walk of Life

Yes, he's mobile...and upright. At 10.5 months, we have another walker! After taking his first few steps last week, this week Vihaan has realized that walking can be an efficient means of getting around. Last week he only walked when we encouraged him. Now, he does it on his own. Tonight Vishal filmed him. He doesn't actually make it the whole way b/c he gets distracted (fumble!). But he gets up in the middle (again on his own) and makes it to the "end zone." It's so darn cute!  

Fall in Vermont

This weekend, we went to Vermont to see the awesome fall colors with Matta's & Jain's. We went to a fabulous resort in Okemo ski area - Proctorsville. We all squeezed in Matta's car for the 5 hour road trip. It was an AMAZING weekend. We ate leisurely (we all took so much food) and enjoyed conversations...and even more leisurely breakfasts. The first morning we sat down to breakfast at 7:30 and sat talking and enjoying the views for FOUR uninterrupted hours. It was glorious! The only reason we did get moving (@ 12:30) was that we decided to go see fall colors. The resort was incredible, and the time spent with good friends was truly rejuvenating.

We also went and did cheese-tasting which is always so much fun. Few picts of all of us:
