Happy First Birthday, Vijay











How did one year pass so quickly?  I am not saying it has always been easy (!),  but it has certain been fast AND fun.  I guess this is why parents always say that kids are 18 years-old within the blink of an eye.  At this rate, I believe it.  Vijay is trying to walk now.  After lots of struggles with eating new foods besides yogurt and sweet potatoes, he is happily diving into french toast, cheese pieces, soy (yes, I said soy) nuggets, and all different types of crunchy finger foods.  We are still working on those fruits and veggies (he is definitely his father's son... loves cheese). He is a joy- his smile is contagious.  

As you will see, he was thrilled to have a small family gathering for his B-day and got to crawl all over his grandparents and uncle.  While Vijay seemed a little scared of his B-day cake, he did take a tentative taste.  He also was presented with a silver bowl and cup from his grandma and grandpa and even had a few bites of indian sweets from the bowl!  We can't wait to learn what new surprises year two will bring.
