Happy One Month!!!







So...i didn't know about the tradition of cigars after the birth of your baby. Well, all the more reason to celebrate then!! We set up a Cigar & Champagne party on 11/2 after a couple weeks of Akhil's arrival. It was almost a grand show n' tell....although most of the folks probably saw him already. Yes....we got some flak for bringing him out so early and subjecting him to all kinds of infection. But, it was definitely a cameo appearance and he was safe and sound very shortly.

We selected a pediatrician at El Camino hospital and brought Akhil in for an initial visit. All the vitals looked good and he was growing and getting bigger. Cool.....we were doing ok at home, then!! Little guy weighed in at a modest 9 lbs 3 oz. All that leaded milk sure is helping!!

He is also getting smart. The bassinet that we put in our room is clearly not as comfy as our bed or his crib for that matter. He doesn't last more than an hour before beginning level #1 of crying. I think the bassinet actually expedites his wailing, too. The diaper changing frequency has definitely increased.....which is a good thing. But, he is still carries the AV part of his name well.

Halloween was fun. We couldn't really find anything that fits him, so we got creative and drew on him. Yes, i know.....there's a voodoo doll out there with our features on it.....as retribution. But, I think Akhil will forgive us on this one....right?

We celebrated his one month birthday with a cupcake and candle. he looked at it with suspicion and awe...but, couldn't bring himself to blow it out. No probs.....little guy....we can help out!! Happy 1 month!!!
