Sunday was Rajoo Mama's birthday, so the whole family got together at their house to celebrate. It was the first time Rayan got to meet his new cousin Nyla Doshi! Tiger was there too. Rayan was so excited to see him again, the whole night was spent chasing after him! Welcome to the fam Baby Nyla!
Rayan has been changing so much every week. He is very hard to keep up with now! This is my first blog post in some time so its all about how Ry is nowadays. Since the last post, Ry had his 1 year appointment. Little guy got several shots and for the first time tried to smack the nurses hand away! He is much more aware of his surroundings and is a very active little guy with a huge personality! He is also getting really big! Since his 9 month appointment, Ry jumped from the 8th percentile to the 25! Ry weighed in at 20 pounds 14 ounces and around 29 inches tall.
Ry in his cute PJ's. Thanks cuz Alisha!
At one, Ry is walking and now running everywhere. He still needs support to pull himself up but is working really hard to get up with out help. He's had many falls but they don't seem to phase him at all! Rayan talks, but in his own language. He says some words like 'ball', 'dog', 'mama', 'da' - thats daddy. He understands a lot of what we are saying and tries to have conversations with us. Rayan has 9 teeth and has been working on his 10th the past couple sleepless nights! As his weight gain is showing, he is starting to like food a lot more. His favorites are anything with cheese, pastas and fruits. He is slowly starting to better at 'chewing' so we are trying more and more new thing everyday!
Ry chillen in his Elmo chair while waiting out the blizzard of 2010! He wasn't allowed to go outside because the snow was much taller than him!
Other things Ry is doing are wrestling everything (especially daddy and his Elmo chair), climbing on things, throwing everything away, and waiting for the water cooler to put water in his sippy cup! He stands patiently with his sippy (lid still on) sitting under the water spout and talking to the cooler and me. Its soooo cute! Then when he is bored of that, he takes everything and throws it in the trash!
That is Ry at 1 so far! Its been fun, lots more fun to come I'm sure! I will close with a video of Ry entertaining us with his DJing skills.
Rayan turned 1 on January 20th! Piyush and I took a day off and spent the day with our baby boy. We couldn't believe a year ago he was so such a tiny little guy and now he is a happy, active, fun boy. I can't even remember life without him! So on Ry's birthday we started by opening presents.
Later we took him to Chuck E Cheese for the first time.
But about 5 minutes later decided he hated it!
Later in the evening, Nana & Nani came over to help celebrate!
And Ry got to enjoy some cake!
On Saturday, we had a party with family at Bombay Tandoor. It was a great time! Here are some of my favorite pictures from that day. There is a slideshow available with all of the pictures from the party!
Sunday evening, the partying continued! We had Rayan's friends over for some pizza and play. Ry got to meet his friends Devan, Sachin and Aidrek for the first time!
