Happy Blogiversary

Is it already December 20^th?

Happy 1^st anniversary to Hello, Baby!

Exactly a year and three days ago we got the best news of our life. I can’t believe it’s already been a year. At times last year feels lifetime ago but at times it feels like it was just yesterday that we started this blog. Thanks for tuning in and hopefully I continue as Veer gets older.

Here’s are THE pictures in review.

Week 17

Veer’s updates this week: he started to roll over. It has only happened a couple of times but it’s starting.

He is spitting up less now. He’s doing longer stretches for food. We have a doctor’s appointment next week so we will get to see his stats. But so far so good this week. His Manali masi is here this weekend till almost the end of January. Anand and I have both been sick (sore throat, sniffles, etc) and so far he’s okay but I did notice he has a slight bit of runny nose the last couple of days. I guess a little bit of germs are okay. We’re building his immunity. Yes, that’s it. That’s what we are doing by hugging him, and kissing him while we are sick.

Week 16

Veer’s Hiral masi came to visit for the week last week and we had a blast. The week flew by but we accomplished a lot. I got the holiday cards done (and mailed today). I got a little bit of holiday shopping. Veer had his first play date with his buddy Krish, who is a year and a day older than Veer. Krish was really sweet with him. He was curious about Veer and eventually even sat still to take a picture with Veer. Here are the two boys together:

Veer’s reflux is not getting better. He is still spitting up after every meal except for the last feeding. It must have to do with the fact that he is moving so much. His hair is starting fill in more. He went on his first road trip without me this weekend. Mom & Dad took him to my parents’ house to visit Baa (Veer’s great grandma) who is left for Houston this weekend. She really wanted to see him before she goes. I’m so glad she saw him even though she’ll be back in a few months.

Here’s the little munchkin. Dhaval was watching Glee and Veer couldn’t stop watching it too. All the pictures I got were of him watching TV. I guess it’s okay since it was Glee.

Week 15

He's so funny. He’s trying to sit up so he cranes his neck up and then falls. It looks like he's doing crunches. Such a funny little guy. His hair has grown more now. He's  also discovering his hands and fingers. The other day I caught him looking at his fingers and probably wondering what they were. He's also talking a lot more as you can see in the video. And when he goes to talk he makes bubbles.

His reflux isn’t getting any better. The doctor told me that as long as he’s gaining weight and not spitting up half of what he drinks she doesn’t think anything is wrong. She told us to prolong giving him cereal because the earlier you start the more likely they will have food allergies.

Here’s a shot of Anand and him on Anand’s birthday.

Here's the little bubble maker at week 15 (you can see his birthmark on his left arm. Anand and Kavita have similar birthmarks on thier arms too):
