We went to a couples shower about 6 weeks ago. Alex has a (3rd) cousin who is making her appearance in January. We got the opportunity to wear Indian clothes. Grandma and Grandpa got Alex this little blue number while I wore a new sari that my dear friend Shri picked up for me recently in India.
Family photo:
Here's Alex fascinated by a balloon.
Thinking we may get a nice nap or quick trip to the movies in, we tried to leave him amongst the baby gifts, hoping no one would notice. But we were unsuccessful.
Alex met his Great Uncle and Aunt from Chicago (Ramesh Kaka and Veena Kaki)
later in the month as well.
And he also met his (2nd) cousins from Chicago, Asha and Lexi.
Asha and Lexi bought a present for Alex. An animal magnet set. Ooooh.
Matt is secretly plotting to steal it when the kids aren't looking.
Alex's favorite part of the whole toy set was of course, this pig butt.
It's still one of his most favorite toys currently. Mmm. bacon.
Asha, Lexi, Julie (their mom, aka my cousin), Alex and I went to the Children's Discovery Museum in San Jose one afternoon.
Here are the 3 kiddos in the back seat of the car. We managed to
get them and their car seats to fit. Aren't they so adorable?
Here's Asha giving her baby cousin a kiss! Aaw.
Lexi and Alex.
Asha taught me something great! If you sing the alphabet song to Alex when he is fussy, he'll stop and listen calmly.
Lexi celebrated her 3rd birthday in San Jose. But Alex
was more interested in his basket of toys we brought along.
Sorry, Lex!
One last photo of Asha and Alex as they say goodbye outside of
Barnes and Noble. Next time they meet it will be on Skype!
Wish we all lived closer. We'll have to make a trip out to Chicago soon!
Looks like fun...how did he like the Discovery Museum? We want to take Jake but aren't quite sure if it will be worth it.
