Sleeping On Mama's Back

I just had to share this cute picture of Navin sleeping on my back. He's so cute!

Navin Claps!

Yes, his brain waves are advancing, and he has mastered the art of clapping at the young age of 10 months old! Now he claps to tell us when he likes something. He has also started putting toys away into a box, which is quite wonderful after mastering the art of making big messes and scattering toys everywhere!

Nodding Yes

Here's the latest funny thing from the boys! Papa is playing the drum inside, although you can't hear it much, he is 'dancing'. :)

Look At That Hair!

Navin has the natural mohawk, and it keeps getting bigger and bigger! People always ask me if we cut it like that, but don't all babies have some kind of funny hair-do? Haridas has two swirls in the back, and Navin has the mohawk. This particular morning, the mohawk was especially fluffy and standing on end. He looks like a crested crane! See for yourself:

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to all of the fathers! I hope everyone had a nice day. Thanks for being such great dads!

Haridas's First Self Portrait

Here's the second self portrait that he drew later on the magna-doodle:



Here's his first self portrait commentary on video!

Standing Navin!

I knew I should have brought the camera today, but I didn't. Sorry, everyone! We went to the beach and the zoo. At the lowest tide I had ever seen, we saw sea snakes (that was a first), brittle stars (starfish), sea slugs, fish, hermit crabs, and more! Navin loved the zoo because it was the first time he'd ever seen those animals. The peacocks that roam the zoo freely had baby chicks!

Then, I was setting Navin down to let him play in the sand and sea, and he didn't just sit down like usual. He stayed standing, balancing on two legs for the first time ever for about 6 seconds! It was quite a fun moment. He is only 9 1/2 months! This is really early. He is an early learner for sure, with a big brother for inspiration! I'll try to catch it on film next time!

More Go-Gee-Go-Gee-Go!

Go-gee-go-gee-go! Hear it live from the original artist, Navin Madan Das:

Brotherly Love

Haridas is reading stories to Navin!


And here they are sharing one of Navin's favorite past times...pulling folded laundry off the shelf and throwing it all around!

H-A-R-I-D-A-S

Haridas has been learning how to write his name. H and A have long been mastered, and now we are working on R and I. I was happy to see him write this during free play time all on his own without me asking!
