My Future's So Bright, I Gotta Wear Shades

Well, as many of our friends and family have let us know over the past two months, we have been totally delinquent in updating Vijay'sblog. The return to work for me has definitely created a time black hole- where feeding, bathing, playing, and preparing bottles for day care the next day has taken top priority for our free time. However, in an effort to bring everyone up to date -- Vijay LOVES to play and is growing up way too fast.

He's been on tons of walks with us around our home in downtown DC and has also been on a few special hikes in Rock Creek Park, where he loves to look up at the trees and watch the creek flow by. Obviously, his shades are an imperative accessory for all these outings; he insists on wearing them all the time!

Vijay's animal gymini has provided great fun and lots of tummy time opportunities, but I fear he is quickly outgrowing it; if we turn our attention away for a moment, we find he has already rolled himself over clear to other side of the room! Here is a shot where he is giving us a break and staying on the activity mat... at least for a second. Are we ever in trouble when he figures out how to crawl.

Vijay is napping better these days and sleeping more consistently through the night, which as you can imagine is a great relief to me and Shyam. He has definitely come to enjoy sleep, even if he still prefers our bed to his crib!

We can hardly believe how he changes every day- both physically and developmentally. We keep telling him not to grow up too fast. He has yet to begin listening to us...
