Anil & I still ‘argue’ over who Z looks more like. I think these pictures shows she is a good mix of both of us…but maybe still a little more like me ;-)

So in these videos they were doing abit of a break from the original Indian music & dancing. This was the only time I could get video since the dance floor wasn’t too crowded. Looks like Z might be a fan of techno.

Happy Halloween



Zahra is changing and doing new things everyday! We had a blast with her this Halloween.
 
 
 
 
 
 Anil’s parents have been visiting for the last week and wow has it been nice. I think I was getting burned out with my crazy meal planning and making these huge meals every night. Grandma Patel cooked us great Indian food every evening and by the last night of their stay Zahra was eating it!! That also left me with my afternoons free, so I went to the gym 4 times this week when Z was taking her naps. Seriously, I’ve been asking them when they are coming back because it was been great. Zahra loves them too.

Before she goes upstairs for a nap or bed she tells her Grandma & Grandpa Patel ‘bye’ & waves usually around 10X times. She has even gone up the first step and peak her head around the banister to get one more ‘bye’ in.  This video she is so sleepy she falls numerous times when she is trying to wave bye~ What a sweetie!!

Z was admiring herself in the glass of the door for 5 minutes.  She loved picking out the candy not that she got to eat any of it~ I know I am a mean Mom but she really doesn’t even know what it is yet so I thought we should keep it that way for a while longer.
