Summer in Seattle

	Well it's Summer time, and it's hot..Even for Seattle! So, i put on my sun screen, wore my cotton shirt, and chilled in my back yard. A lemonade would have really capped it off... But you know the drill, I can't drink it! Anyways, here are some snaps of me having jolly good time in the lawn..

My New Stroller!

Check it out...Introducing my brand new stroller. Isn't it nice? Do you know it has breaks? Do you know what it means? It means i can travel at super sonic speeds and can still stop at my favourite ice cream shop the moment i see it... And that is my mom holding the stroller.

A little later, I learnt that i dont get to drive it and have to wait at least couple of years to drive anything ..First I can't eat cakes and sweets, and now I can't drive. Can you believe it?

Saving grace - The ride in it was still good. I (actually my parents) took it out for a test drive the other day to Bellevue Botanical Gardens. Btw, to prove that I am really in there, here is another snap with me in it.

My First Week!

So I crossed my first major milestone - my first week. It has been quite eventful - gained some weight, finished my first paediatrician appointment and the best part - a spanking new dress every day, including a new kiddopotamus. Nice.. Here is me in my kiddo..

To celebrate this occasion my aunt made me a cake...I was very excited to eat my first cake, but i was told i can't eat cakes either...I mean i am 7 days old and i can't eat a cake? Beats me! Anyways, here is the cake

My Foot!

OK. It's been 5 days and its now time to take the impression of my foot to always refer back to how big i was at this time. It took a good couple hours for 3 engineers and a doctor to figure this out. Though i was a little disappointed by the lack of their efficiency, i let them off the hook and gave them my feet to take impression.

The Toy Teddy Conundrum

I got my first toy the other day - a teddy bear. At first, I got startled thinking it was a real one and tried to beat it to dust. Later my parents told me that it was a toy and cooled me down. In that way, it barely escaped my beating :)

We later became best buddies as you can see..

Homecoming

So the doctors decided to let me go home (finally...) a day later on 26th April. However not before i cleared my physicals...My grand parents got some sweets to celebrate the occasion, but they did not let me eat them..bummer! It looks like i have to wait a while before i can eat them..Till then its milk time..

Time for my first gadget - car seat. I felt like i was driving a fighter plane with the 6 point harness - Cool! I was then secured in our minivan beside my mom. I liked the short trip home.

The Big Day

25th April 2009 - So, for the big day, i packed up and picked a fine Saturday morning - sunny, warm, and an ideal spring day. To spice things a bit, i chose to surprise everyone by arriving 4 days earlier. I didn't want to make a big mess of the whole thing - so i took just over an hour to touch down. My parents reached the hospital at 9:30 AM and I was playing with my mom at 10:40 AM.

I was born 6 pounds 8 ounces and 20 inches. I behaved very well given that its my first day.
