Night Away (Kinda) and Meeting Kamran

This weekend was a busy one. Some of Mommy's cousins were visiting from out of town, so Mommy & Daddy had plans to go out for dinner and drinks in DC. Nani offered to watch Ry but she wanted him to spend the night since it was going to be a late night. So, we decided that Ry would stay at Nani's for his first night away from Mommy & Daddy. I couldn't do it though. I missed my baby too much so I decided that we would stay overnight too, but in the basement! That way, it still was his first night away...sorta. I was just a floor away. This is a pic of Ry missing his Mommy...Not really, but what a cutie!


On Saturday, Ry finally met his new buddy Kamran. The Sanghani's came over for dinner and we introduced the boys. They are only 5 months apart. I can't believe Ry was Kamran's size not that long ago. Crazy how time is flying. This is a pic of the new buddies.



These are some other cute pics of Ry while we were waiting for Kam and his parents!

Where are they, I am getting bored!

Father's Day Weekend

This was Piyush's first Father's Day. Since both of our families are in the area, we have to spread out the festivities. On Saturday, we went to lunch with Dadi & Dada. Ajay, Kareena, Manisha Fui and Vikas Uncle were also there. It was tough getting pictures of the kids, but we managed to get one of them all with their grandparents.
In the evening Mommy & Daddy went out to Raj Uncle & Prema Auntie's house for a party. Dadi watched Ry while we were out. Soon the Sharma's will have another buddy for Ry to play with!

Sunday, the festivities continued. In the morning, Daddy had his time with little Ry. Later Nani, Nana and Sammy Mama came over and we went out for lunch. Ry slept through the whole thing! When we came home, we played for a little while and then Ry followed in his Nana's footsteps and took a nap.

5 Months Old!

Rayan is 5 months old!!! We can't believe how time is just flying by. Rayan is showing us more of his personality every day. He is starting to laugh all the time. He loves to stand up. If you try to sit him in you lap, he stands up. He also loves to roll over. He just keeps rolling and rolling! He is even starting to become pretty mobile. He moves by dragging his body, while on his tummy to whatever he is trying to get. Usually, this results in him going in circles! This month, our monthly Mr. Bear photo shoot was pretty difficult. Ry insisted on wrestling with Mr. Bear. What did he ever do you to you Ry! I had to hold him back while daddy took the picture. We were finally able to get a good one (above) after Ry and Mr. B made nice nice.

The below pictures is one that I love. Ry starting to look like a little boy now...my baby is growing up so fast.

Lately we have noticed that Ry really prefers sleeping on his stomach. When he isn't he still sleeps with his hands behind his head. Its really funny! He usually wakes up with a big smile, although, here is yawning.

Rayan is starting to love playing with his toys. Especially his bouncers where he can stand. This was the first weekend we noticed that he was standing with control and was able to reach for the toys. He even talks to the characters. Too cute! This bouncer is from his buddy Aayan. Aayan gave it to Ry before moving to Boston.

Baby Spa Time

Today Rayan got spa treatment. The morning started off with baby massage and then some floor play. Rayan started rolling over this week. Everyday we feel like he is doing something new. He tries to talk to us all the time!


He also started blowing wet raspberries... this results in lots of drool!


In the evening, we had a family party to go to. On the way there, Ry was stylin with his new sunglasses. He enjoys looking out the window when we are in the car.

There were a lot of people wanting to play with Ry. He enjoyed the attention and was too busy playing to be bothered to eat! All of his Masi's and Mama's (Toby's cousins) entertained Rayan all night. He also played with his cousin Alisha!

Saturday Chill'axin

This Saturday we decided to spend some time at home chill'axin. In the morning, Rayan got some rice ceral. He seemed to really enjoy it!

After a big breakfast, we lounged in front of the TV. Ry tested out his new chair. Thanks Amita Auntie and Vic Uncle!



Later on, Mommy & Daddy went to go visit Rayan's new friend Kamran and his parents Mehul & Hema. Kamran's parents shared stories of their experiences with their newborn. So cute! He reminded Mommy of her little Ry about 5 months ago! While we were out, Nani and Usha Masi took care of Ry. Sammy Mama stopped by to play with his nephew too.

All Better Now!

This past week Rayan was not feeling well. On Sunday, I noticed he was wheezing a little. So Monday morning we went to the pediatrician's office to check the little man out. My poor Ry was diagnosed with acute bronchitis. He was coughing, had a hard time breathing and had a fever. The doctor put him on a nebulizer to help him breath a little better. Last week was so hard for Mommy & Daddy, watching their little man suffer :( The first couple of nebulizer treatments were torture. Ry would cry and cry! The doctors actually said that it was good because he was inhaling more of the meds. As the week went on Ry got used to the treatments. At one point we even thought he may be enjoying them. Piyush would pull the mask away from his face, and he would pull it back! Rayan was out from daycare all last week. His Nani took a day off to help out and Daddy stayed home with Ry other days. Since last week we have seen the doctor 5 times. Ry has been through blood tests and baby x-rays and today Ry finally got the all clear! He seems to be himself again! During the week, Daddy put together a new toy for Ry to cheer him up. A bouncer that he loves! He can't sit in it by himself yet, but with our help, he loves looking at the toys and jumping. Too cute!

Happy Birthday Kadyn!

Rayan attended his first birthday party this weekend. Kadyn turned two! Rayan had a good time hanging in Kadyn's old bouncer.  He watched the older kids play with the water table and even joined in on the fun!  He even has a new litte admirer, Maya.  Not so fast Maya, Rayan's still my little man!

It was a great time hanging out with friends and for Rayan to play with all the kids!  Thanks Kalbs!  Happy Birthday Kadyn!
