The Many Faces of Yamuna

Relaxing with mama

Surprised, during my first bath

Sleeping, with papa

Ahhh, pretty in pink

Hanging out with papa and my big bro!

Mommy's Birthday

It was my Mommy's birthday last week, and even an earthquake (5.0 on the Richter scale!) couldn't keep her from going out to celebrate. It was supposed to be my birthday too, but I was in a hurry to meet my darling Mommy, so I packed my bags and headed out early.

I am 6 days old and here is my first recorded outing (very first time outside was at 5 days old, to pick up my big brother from daycare).

Beautiful garden outside our apartment building, but I am asleep. So cosy in my blue cocoon!

Papa picked me up so now I am awake to the beauty of the world.

Deep thoughts over; back to sleepy sleepy for me.

My Parents

My parents are pretty fun. I think I did a good job picking them.

Here is Mommy, who gives me milky and snuggles me close.

Here is Papa. Um...I don't actually know what he does. Mostly watches TV.

I am so confused by some things in this new world. Like, what is a vuvuzela??

My big brother will help me figure these things out. He seems pretty smart. He knows all the words to the "ABC song!"

Day 4

Pink rose baby

My mommy likes to colour coordinate her babies (pink) with the bedsheets (pink and orange).

With Aunty Jesal, who's baking a little friend for me!

With Grandma Roma

My big brother loves me and I love him!

Beautiful Poem

Thanks to Anuradha Gupta, papa's batchmate at school, here is a beautiful poem that she composed:

...aapko bahut bahut badhaii, pyaari si pari jo aapke ghar aayi..
...pyaar ki nischaal dhara se bheega rahe hamesha aapka tan-aur maan...

...khushiyon se maheka rahe, aapka ghar aagan her shrn,

... aaisa sundar, sukhad aur paawan ho pyaari Yamuna ka aagmaan.

hope u like the few lines that i wrote for our dear Yamuna. they came instantly..

I am here now

Pink and chubby

Goodmorning, and happy to meet you, mama, papa.

SEEMA Guessed My Arrival Time!!

I am snuggled up here, upside down. I am well prepared to come out and greet you all any time now. I can hear sounds, and feel the movement outside, so I think there will be a bit more leg room once I come out. My apartment here is getting a bit crowded, and I hope I get something at least twice the size when I come out. Also it is a bit dark in here.

I have been promised milk as soon as I come out.

To make my debut more interesting I would like to announce a prize to anyone who can guess my time of arrival. The person whose time is closest to the actual time will have the first blog heading named after them.

So leave a comment with your guess and we shall find out soon...
