Trip to NYC to see Fences

Madhu uncle came to town so we went to NYC for the day to see Fences, the broadway play with Denzel Washington. The play was fabulous! We brunched at Alice's Tea cup on the upper east side, saw the play while Auntie Dara watched Jahni, and then went to Cafe Lalo on the upper west for sandwiches and dessert. The ride home was a very cranky time for Jahni, but what a nice full day of excitement overall.

A One Year Old's Birthday

We went to New Jersey with grandpa, Veena and Barbara for another one year old's birthday, this time at an Indian restaurant.

Madhu uncle and gang came to town for his friend's birthday party and we had dinner Friday night at Distrito in University City. It is a great Jose Garces restaurant with Latin American food. Great places for foodies.. yum yum.

Grandma and Grandpa (mamama and ajja) came to visit for July 4th and later that weekend Vik, Iggy and Pachi joined us too. What chaos- 9 people sleeping in a 2 bedroom apartment- ever wonder what it is like to be Sardines? We saw fireworks -twice- at Penn's Landing and the next day at the Art Museum. Jahni's reaction was priceless. She loved the fireworks and was absolutely amazed by the sound and the brightness of it all. Can't wait for her to see more next year...

Chad and Maryanne's Wedding

Sunil's residency friend, Chad, married Maryanne in Delaware at Winterthur Gardens. Maryanne is a doctor herself, just finishing her last year at Dupont, Jahni's pediatric division at Jefferson. It was a beautiful, though hot, wedding. The bottom pic is the residency crew (plus me). The actual wedding ceremony was in the gardens....

Walking and Standing

Jahni is 11 months old today and in the past couple weeks she has changed a lot. For one, she has more balance now and can stand for 20 seconds at a time before falling. She also can hold onto anything her height and stand for long periods of time. Our friend gave us a toy walker (yes, the kind old ladies use to stabilize themselves as they walk) and she loves it! Every night we try to take her walking outside or down the hallway of our apartment building. Once she is off, there is not stopping our little walker, except of course, when she hits a wall (she has not learned to back up and keep walking yet). She is also much better at walking when someone holds one of her hands than every before. . . Pretty soon we'll be saying we can hardly remember when she didn't know how to walk!

Devi Aunty and Prakash Uncle's Visit

Jah



Jahni, the super popular cutie, has many many visitors. This week Devi Aunty and Prakash Uncle dropped in on their way to New Jersey to see Jahni. It was great to have them and Devi Aunty absolutely loves kids and I think Jahni could tell because she went to her pretty easily .... ;)
