Bed Time

Priya does not like to go to bed and even though she is rubbing her eyes and is generally super tired she will not fall asleep int he living room.

So everyday when we know she is tired we take her and put her in her crib and she will cry for about 10 minutes and boom she is asleep.

A day ago we did the same thing.  She was sucking on her binky and there another one in her crib.  We woke up in the morning and both of the binkys were near the door.  That means she was so mad she took the binky from her mouth and threw it across the entire room to her door and then picked up other binky in the crib and threw that one also.

We were like wow, girl has got a temper.  Normally she is super happy and you would not expect someone like her to get angry.

Priya likes to eat by herself.  Here she is eating cheerios type of food:



Here is Kump looking after Priya.  If no one is around and she is in the crib he will come by and look after her.  Even if she is crying he will come by and see what the issue is.

Here is Priya's 10th Month Birthday Cake:

Of course Priya put her hand in the cake which is red frosting and it got everywhere, including her lips and her cheek.

This is Priya in the DC house.  We got a new dining table and Priya loves to play in and with boxes

This is Priya Picture with her Manning Jersey for the Super Bowl.  Thank goodness her daddy could not find anyone to bet with or he would have lost money.

What is wrong with the Broncos?  I am so worried.

Priya and Kumo Sharing a Dosa with Daddy

Kumo used to come and sit with me every morning and we would share 3 Dosa's everyday, one bit for Kumo and one bite for me.  Now that Priya can walk, she comes over and hangs next to me and I share my Dosa's with both of my kids now:

Priya Eating Mango

Here is Priya eating a mango.  The first piece was sweet and she really enjoyed.  This second piece was sour and you can see what she did.

Priya's 9th Month Video's

This is Priya after eating Idli, she is so happy.  Her mom and her playing:



Priya hates puppu and rice.  She just spits it out and will such a fuss when she has to eat it:



This is Shoba and Priya.  Priya is just laughing and laughing:



Priya standing by holding on to a wall:



Here is Priya in her Ewok outfit:



Kumo is so jealous that any chance he gets he will go and stand in between Neeta and Priya so that he gets all the attention:



Priya crawled all the way to the laundry room just to go and say Hi to Kumo.  The laundry room and living room are pretty far in our house and she went super fast to hang with Kumo:

Priya 9th Month Pictures

Priya and Shreya on Priya's 9th Month Birthday.  It was supposed to be a Ballerina Cake, but I thought it sucked. 

Here is the closeup of the Cake.  A Ballerina Cake, I do not think so, a southern belle with a corset on with a dress, maybe, but ballerina cake, no way.

Priya has awesome flexibility and  loves to suck on her own feet.

Priya loves climbing the sofa.  If you look on the far edge of the sofa you will see a ledge that the sofa has and she will stand on the ledge and see what is happening in the kitchen.

Here is Priya as a Ewok.  An Ewok was a character in the movie Star Wars.

Priya loves to pull hair and here she is pulling Shrekar's hair.

Priya loves persimmons.  Here she is eating and sucking on one.

Kumo and Priya

I would have thought that Kumo and Priya would have been better friends than they are.

Neeta will bring Priya downstairs from her room and Kumo will come over right away to try and get attention from Neeta.  He does not care about me playing with Priya so much, but he gets super jealous when Neeta is playing with her.

Nowadays when Priya is playing, Kumo will go and stand in between them.

This is when you know that dogs have the same emotions as humans.  He is so jealous and when I yell at him he will stay still while Priya pulls his tail and crawls on him and over him.

Finally he will not be able to stand it any longer and then we will get up and go away to another part of the house.

It is so interesting to see the dynamic.  I am waiting for Priya to get older, I am 100% sure that those two will be best friends.

Kumo's 5th Birthday

Here are pictures from Kumo's 5th birthday:

Here is Kumo with his Doggy Cake from 3 Dog Bakery.  Surprisingly he only ate 2 pieces and did not eat the rest.  Our little boy is now 5 years old.

I was just hoping that the poor kid would not burn his whiskers or fur.  Neeta lit the 5 candles and  Kumo was getting closer and closer to the fire.  I was expecting to hear a little yelping as he got burned, but Neeta blew them out and the crisis was averted.

I know what Kumo must be thinking.  Here I am a majestic Akita and I have this silly hat on my head.  I am sure he liked his gold necklace, but a hat I doubt it.

Here is a close up of the cake

Priya 8th Month Videos

Priya learned to make some new noises, here she is.  It almost sounds like she is choking on something, but it is just some weird noise she is making nowadays.  For a while she learned to make some noises like a bird and she made those for awhile.  Now it is this noise:




Here is Priya Crawling Full Speed.  She took a long time to crawl, but when she figured it out, she is a handful.  She goes right to where Kumo is.



Here is the song that we sing at end of the swim lesson.



Here is Priya getting dipped underwater.  The video does not do any justice to the expression on her face.  She is so cute and funny when she gets back out of the water:



Here is Priya going after Kumo's bone.  He actually barks at the end of video at her, but she still goes right to Kumo and his bone.  That was only time that he barked at her.  After that I yelled at him, he has never done it again.  To this day if he is crying I can just take her and put her in front of Kumo and she will stop crying and laugh like crazy.  She just loves Kumo.




Priya playing in her Exersaucer.  I put this video up, because The screaming that she does at the beginning is what she does when she wakes up in the morning.  She is so happy she just screams out of happiness.  She will do that for about 30 minutes everyday.



Priya has a ton of toys but give her a few bowls and a spoon and she is so happy.  You can take the girl out of India, but you cannot take the Indian out of the girl:



Here is Priya playing with the Christmas Tree.  She was laughing like crazy on the day that her cousin Nikki was putting up the tree.



She started standing in her crib so I finally had to move the crib all the way to the bottom level, otherwise she would have tried to get out and fall.  Ok I did not do it, but I got it done, isn't that want really counts:



This is Priya on her Styrofoam boat.  Daddy is the motor and I push her around while she hangs on:



Priya is learning to walk by holding on to the sofa and then she goes sideways by holding on to the sofa.  Then she will get tired and either let go and fall on her butt or try to hold on with one hand and then fall when she loses her balance.

Priya 8th Month Pictures

It has been a long time and all the relatives have been complaining that I have not put any pictures of Priya up, so here they are:


We went to professional photo studio and here are our Christmas photo:

 

To get Priya to laugh like this the photographer would take a piece of cardboard and move it in front of her so that it would swoosh some air on her face and she would laugh like this.

This was our first swim lesson at Goldfish.  They would make me pour water on her head with a cup so that she can get used to the water on her head.  She still does not like it and will shake her head and give such a pitiful expression.  She is funny.

This is a picture of her 8th Month Birthday cake.  It was cut 2 days late and obviously the cakes are getting less extravagant as she gets older.  I think it is time to stop the monthly birthday nonsense.

Sunitha, Shriya and SM feeding her the cake.  She loved it.  It was an White Alaskan Cake from Sweet Dreams.

Priya and Daddy on her little boat while daddy drags her around

Daddy feeding Priya on her 8th month birthday

Priya in her 8th month birthday dress.  Looks more like a flower girl dress to me, but it fit, so I guess it was for a baby.  She looked cute in it.

Priya just joined the Goldfish Swim school and here she is in her new T-shir.

Priya opening presents.  She finally figured out how to rip open the boxes and give her a box now and she just rips it open.

Priya sleeping, and I am sure that her mom is sleeping nearby somewhere.  This tiny little girl wears out her mom totally and completely.  No need to go to the gym with a little baby in the house. 

Poor Priya got her hair completely removed.  Bald.  Apparently in Indian culture they do this so that the hair comes back thicker and fuller.  I am not sure if this is a scientific fact, but Neeta wanted to do it, so against my wishes it was done.  Priya did not cry at all.  Mommy held her in her lap and the stylist cut her hair off.

Priyas New Jail Cell.  She is so fast, that we have to leave her in here in case we are busy doing something.  Otherwise Whoosh, she is gone like the wind, and usually to wherever Kumo is.
