Giggles!

New home!

This month we moved to our new house in Mountain View and we are all enjoying the sunny weather, the extra space and the shorter commute. Anjali's new developments this month include rolling over (both front to back and back to front), sitting wobbly tripod-style, and starting solids.

Hanging out on Mother's Day

Anjali loves the park by our house.

She has started reaching for everything in sight!

Exploring the country

In April Anjali racked up her fair share of frequent flier miles, with trips to Minnesota and Houston. In Houston she met two of her great-grandparents for the first time and got to see her Kalia grandparents dance a mean tango. In Minnesota she saw her first snowfall, spent some time with her great-aunt Debbie and great-uncle George, and saw the wedding of Al and Jessica Mendoza.

Not even two feet tall but looking like she wants to walk!

Chatty Anjali

Ten weeks along...

During the last couple of weeks Anjali has started grabbing at things - including taking fistfuls of mommy's hair in a vice-like grip - and laughing at things like daddy's dancing (who wouldn't?). She has also started tentatively enjoying bathtime, and sometimes sleeps through the night!
Mommy encourages her to get strong by giving her daily baby boot camp workouts...

Smiles, football teams and st paddys gear

Weighing over ten pounds and measuring almost two feet long, Anjali is growing well but is still only a very tiny human. She smiles now when you play with her but she quickly gets tired of playing. She will never say no to a snack though, and she loves being cuddled and rocked. Her favorite toys are her swing and her ladybug mobile.

coincidentally supporting the exact same team as her daddy!
