Florida Trip






We had a great time in Florida seeing lots of family.

We saw some of the Trivedi clan and their new house one morning. It is beautiful and we can't wait to see it in December when they are all moved in.

We celebrated G-G's birthday one night and we spent an afternoon at Resort Freedman. Cousin Adam even taught Neil how to surf.

Neil loves his new Thomas backpack that Aunt Boo Boo gave him. He still busy filling it up with all his special things.

Neil did lots of swimming. He is getting better at taking his breaths while he swims.

We missed Uncle Bri and Aunt Jenni, but Neil spoke to them on the phone and made sure they are being safe around the volcanos. Neil has been fascinated with volcanoes and can't believe they live so close to them.

Thanks G-G and Poppy for a great vacation!

Neil and Siena



Aren't they just too cute?

Siena


Siena loves her high chair and she loves eating! She has moved on to carrots. She is a little piggy that ate the whole container tonight for dinner. She licks the spoon like a cat and grunts for more food if it isn't fed to her fast enough.

As you can tell, she sits up really well now and so far she lets me "do her hair". Isn't she so cute?
Siena loves to be part of the party; she is always smiling if someone is looking at her. Cute dress Aunt Roni!

The big brother is doing great too. One of his funny lines recently was said the first time he saw Siena with a bow in her hair. He said, "Mommy, Siena is a beautiful girl with that bow in her hair. I want to give her a hug." Oh, he'll make some girl very happy one day if he keeps saying those kinds of things. Ha, ha. Ok I'm going to stop bragging about my adorable kids and head to bed. Hope you are having a nice weekend.

Dadi's Visit



We had a nice visit with Dadi the past couple weeks. Enjoy the pictures of her in pool with the kids. I have to work in the morning so I'm not going to write much so I can get to sleep. I still have one more entry to post of Siena.

Siena Ate Solid Food

As you can tell, Siena had a better first experience with food than her big brother. Siena made some VERY funny faces while trying to eat her rice cereal mixed with a milk based formula this morning. The good news is that she did not have an allergic reaction. However, this is her first exposure to milk and the reaction happen on the second exposure. I have a good feeling about her though. Also, take note....she is wearing one of her many UNC tar heel onsies. I do have her eating on video so that may be coming in the near future so stay tuned. Sorry for all the posts today, but when it rains it pours. Plus it helps that I have time today since Dadi is busy playing with Neil.

Museum Visit




On Friday we went to the Life and Science Museum in Durham with Dadi (Lata) and had a blast. As you can see, Neil enjoyed the butterfly garden and we even saw some dinosaurs! Doesn't Siena look beautiful in her yellow and blue dress that Dadi made! Siena's hair is getting so long that she already needs bows to keep it out of her eyes.

Family Vacation






A couple weeks ago we took a family vacation to Wrightsville Beach in Wilmington, North Carolina. We had a jam packed two days at the beach. Siena enjoyed her first beach experience. She spent most of the time in her tent very content. Neil dug a large hole, loved the ocean, collected sea shells, and built a sand castle. We also enjoyed the aquarium and rode on a ferry!
