Historic Day: President Obama's Inauguration






Today Vijay had the honor to be among the crowds of people who all came to Washington, DC to catch a little glimpse of the inauguration activities.  Living so close to the action, we were able to bundle him up (and I mean BUNDLE- poor thing probably felt life a  stuffed scarecrow) and take a walk to get as close as we could to the crowds.  We made it close to Pennsylvania Avenue to celebrate before heading back into the warmth of home!  On Sunday, we made it to the National Mall to watch the "We are One" concert and got to see performances by U2, Stevie Wonder, Herbie Hancock, James Taylor, and many others. Here are a few images that sum up the excitement of the moment.  Jai is very excited for his new President Obama to begin work in our city!

Vacation in Puerto Rico Baby!






Shyam has been to Puerto Rico several times and we have been hoping to take a trip there together for years now.  Well, with winter setting in and a young infant in tow, what better trip than to relax by the blue, blue ocean, right?  Right- sort of.  We certainly relaxed and were able to check out Old San Juan and El Yunque Rain Forest.  Although a cold Vijay picked up slightly dampened our time late in the trip and definitely parent-tested us, we were happy to get him home safe and sound.  Aside from a sleepless night or two, you will see that we got some good rest and relaxation too...

8 Months Old= Constant Crawling and Giggly Play




The post 6-month age has been all play, giggles, and fun for Jai.  During this time Jai has been blessed with lots of hugs and kisses from grandma and grandpa in MD.  Since they live so close by, we can visit with the grandparents all the time.  They make him belly laugh like nobody else can!  Check out some of the fun Jai has!
