First birthday!

On January 5 Anjali turned one, and we had a little party for her (or for us?).

She got a ton of great toys and loads of attention. She especially loved crinkling the colorful wrapping paper and smearing ice cream cake all over her face.

First Christmas

Anjali got showered with attention from three great-grandparents, two grandparents, two uncles and various friends and neighbors while visiting the Kalias in Houston for Christmas. She had a lovely time.

Wreaking havoc

Anjali's new favorite activities are pulling things out of drawers, pushing things off tables, and overturning everything in sight. It is amazing how much destruction a not-quite-one-year-old can accomplish.

Tahoe trip

We just came back from Tahoe where we got caught in the first blizzard of the season. Anjali didn't like the freezing snow blowing in her face but she loved the kids play area in Harrahs!

Pushing the lawnmower

Anjali is now stumbling around with her little push toy. She can't steer very well and she gets tired but it's fun to watch!

She just got her third tooth - this one is on the top right.

Latest activities:

• eating a strawberry like an apple
• turning on and off lights
• unrolling toilet paper and throwing it around the bathroom

anja-bee

anjali was a buzzy bee for halloween. she didn't think much of the outfit, and she hated the little cap with antennas on it - but halloween with a baby is really for the adults anyway. we just paraded her around and then ate her candy.

bath time!

anjali is really funny in the bath. instead of splashing and playing with rubber duckies as you may expect, she just likes collecting washcloths and attempting to climb out of her tub.
it's still pretty cute though...
