More Visitors for Vijay

Here are some more snaps of visits from Vijay's friends and family. Liam, Khalin, and Lena are sure going to teach this new kid on the block some new tricks - see post below.

Vijay's Visitors

Little Vijay has been blessed with several visitors in his first weeks at home. Even though he slept through the vast majority of his visits (!), we are sure he remembers all of his friends and looks forward to the time he can see them again. He even got the opportunity to make the acquaintance of some older and wiser 1 and 2 year old friends that he can learn lots and lots from as he grows- here are snaps of some of Vijay's visitors.

Tiny Fingers, Tiny Toes...

Above and beyond the general cuteness of babies, they happen to come into this world with the most adorable hands, feet, fingers, and toes. And baby feet are the softest little things imaginable.

Don't be fooled by his small size - this little one has a deceptively strong grip! Shake his hand and you might just be staying a while. Vijay likes to spread his long toes out, yogi-style.

He's got his mommy's penchant for soccer and cycling - these feet are always kicking, circling, and making sure that all of the baby socks we put on promptly find themselves on the floor at home or lost forever after an outing.

Some of our favorite tiny fingers and toes snaps are attached...

Babies Change Every Day...

Folks will tell you but its true - little babies look different every single day. This one is
already beginning to outgrow some of his newborn clothes. Guess that's what you get when you're born 8.5 lbs...


We love his iPood gear - not only is it cute, but its very, very accurate...

Parenting 101

Shyam and I are getting our bearings and picking up new parenting skills each day- but we have come to realize that parenting is no easy task between the feedings, burpings and the stacks and stacks of poopy diapers! Vijay, however, also requires plenty of good things like lots of loving and cuddling. Here are a few of our favorite pictures of Vijay- I especially love his Spike Lee onesie poses, a gift from his Uncle Jon and Aunt Clare.

Bath Time

While he looks a bit frightened, don't be fooled- Vijay actually loves bath time. He did a great job with his first few sponge baths, but was clearly most comfortable wrapped safe and sound in his bath towel.

Arms in the Air

Another one of Vijay's signature moves involves the fact that he loves to have his arms free and in the air! Constantly struggling out of even the tightest of swaddles, he love to sleep with his arms raised above his head and to flex his muscles (or as Shyam thinks, he is signaling a touchdown for the Eagles). Either way, this little guy definitely has some strong arms! Here are a few pictures to demonstrate what we mean.
