Hot Air Balloon Festival

We went to NJ Hot Air Balloon festival - had a big play date filled with fun. The Jains (Bharat Jain and family) met us there. So many balloons launced....Sara had so much fun watching them.

We hopped on the "ride to festival" bus...b/c parking was quite far from the field and also b/c Sara requested to enjoy the bus ride :p. She also really liked the bunny hat. Vishal got some good shots of her little bunny:

Sweetness

Sara just makes my day everyday. She is so sweet these days, I just wish I could bottle it up and keep some of that sweetness forever. I'm really cherishing it as the terrible-two's are just around the corner. Today morning was especially sweet as Sara was super excited to kiss me on the nose, giggling hysterically with each little kiss. I am in love.

Sara is almost two....

...and I want to capture her world, the beautiful smile and captivating way she enjoys the simple things in life: the park, the backyard, the car, the lipstick she slipped out of my purse.

Sara's a pretty typical 2 year old. She amazes us with the things she knows, makes us laugh hysterically, and can also make us completely crazy! :) Physically she's in constant motion- running, climbing, walking up and down the stairs, tiptoe-ing around, dancing, playing modified versions of just about every sport. She loves to explore and play with us. She's also gotten much better at independent play, which is fantastic! Usually this independent time is spent cooking in her kitchen "cooking allu sabzi" as she says, or "driving her train," or reading and chatting with her baby dolls.

She gives the biggest hugs, the cheesiest smiles, and throws the loudest, most spectacular tantrums! :p She does get easily upset and impatient...and totally annoyed when she doesn't get her way. She's my sweet little girl...but can flip in an INSTANT and become the crazed toddler exerting herself with the forceful use of "NO!" accompanied by jumping, crying, kicking, or pushing...which is then accompanied by time outs and disciplinary chats...which is followed by hugging, apologizing.

Her hindi language is remarkable! She speaks in phrases and in sentences- which is pretty awesome for her age. Many strangers we meet tell us the same thing after they ask how old she is.:)

Weight: 25.1 lbs (75th percentile)
Height: 35 inches (90th percentile)

Central Park

Vishal took a day-off since he was not feeling that great. After Sara's lunch time, he took her & her nanny to Central Park. It was an absolutely beautiful afternoon as Vishal says to visit Central park. Sara played a lot and was absolutely delighted to see the fountains. :) Here are some photos from the day:

Hamptons here we come

We went to Hampton's this weekend with our friends. First we went to the light house. It was just amazing - we walked to the lighthouse. All the kids - Kisna, Nikki & Sara ran and enjoyed the beautiful landscape.

I had never seen such beautiful views! Then in the evening we drove around and then went to a vineyard. It was just perfect sitting there with friends - chit chatting, kids playing on their own and having a great wine.

Jimmy Bhaiya Wedding

We reached India to have fun with all friends & family at Jimmy Bhaiya's wedding. I'm bummed that I didn't get any good pictures of the three of us again :). There was just too much going on and too much fun to be had!

Sara was pampered like anything....from her nanu-nani to amma-baba and all her cousins. She had loads of fun in this trip compared to last time she went. She made everyone run around her with her hilarious and naughty skills.

FEW PICS from this trip

Fun in Hershey's Park

This weekend, we went to Hershey's Park with our friends - Matta's and Nangia's. SO much fun for us ALL! It was Sara's first trip to an amusement park (we figured she's old enough to really enjoy it!).

This little girl LOVED all the rides and was running all afterNikki & Kisna. She was squealing with delight! The kiddie portion of the park was So cool! It had so many rides including a roller coaster, lady bug ride, bizzy bee ride...

Swimming Class

We enrolled Sara at YMCA for a parent-child swimming class for this session. Wednesday night she had her first swimming lesson for this session. She did a great job kicking her feet and blowing bubbles. Her favourite thing to do is chase the ducks around the pool.

With all the splish-splash fun (which included balls, ducks, noodles, and jumping), Sara was one happy little fishie!
