Vyom is 4 months old

Vyom completed his 4 months today. Today in the morning he went with us for his 4th month checkup where he was given 4 shots. He cried for a few minutes and then became completely normal. Patrika stayed home with him so as to keep a check for fever etc.

He now lifts his head and legs both at the same time, probably trying to turn sideways.
Vyom enjoyed his first long drive to San Diego to meet Sangi Bua, Phufaji, Amrit Bhaiya , Arunav Bhaiya and Ambika didi. He was simply amazing during the whole journey to and fro, just got up when it was required otherwise kept sleeping/playing.

We'll post more of his pictures in the same location!!

Vyom's Dad and Mom

Vyom 3 and 1/2 months old

Vyom wished his Mom a very happy FIRST mother's day on May 13th, 2007. He gave Mommy a rose in the morning and then gold earings. He was able to hold the balloon and presented it to Mommy. I was able to capture all these moments and will be in his photo album. Overall we had a great time. I wished my Mom by presenting her a diamond watch.

Vyom now sleeps less compared to earlier days. He spends most of the time playing and making interesting sounds. He still enoys massage and bath time. We are quite confindent that he will start speaking very soon. We ordered his new orbitz baby Toddler seat on Mothers day and it should arrive in a few weeks. We took a rough measurement of his height and it looked like he is already about 26'' which is quite good for his age. In this month another new thing he learned is to make a wet razzling sound.

Also everyday in the evening Vyom enjoys a walk in my arms in our backyard, where we have strawberries, methi, hara dhaniya, tomatoes, bhindi, beans and beautiful rose plants.

Will keep posting more of his updates!!!

Vyom 3 months old

Time flies by so fast, it just seems like yesterday when Vyom was born and now he is 3 months old. He has learned a lot of new things and it is all because of his inquisitive nature. He raises his head quite high during tummy time. He is quite scoial and loves to smile and interact with folks.

Vyom attended another Birthday party this month. This was the 3rd B'day paty which Vyom attended. Earlier ones were (Garvit/Gaurika & Esha's). It was Kalika's 3rd b'day in bombay Garden, Santa Clara, CA. He got a chance to meet Sagar/Nipa's daughter Aranya and Sanjay Kalpana's daughter Esha. He was awake most of the time in the party and enjoyed with everyone. It was April 28th and final between Australia vs Srilanka which Australians won in style.

Vyom also practices singing the whole day. Seems like he is working hard clearing his vocal cord.

Vyom 2 1/2 months old

On 15th April 2007, Vyom will be 2 1/2 months old. We applied for his US passport 2 weeks back as Vyom will be visiting India with us in November 2007 to attend Nandu Chacha's marriage.

These days he loves talking to all of us and is full of smiles all the time. He gets his massage in the morning and takes a bath in the evening before going to bed.

He has learned to sleep in his crib and bassinet. New development which we noticed quite recently is that he sleeps on his own after playing in the crib. We did his photo session today and Patrika will be putting the new photos on the web tomorrow (April 15th, 2007) in the same place.

Vyom is 2 months old

Today March 31st 2007, Vyom is now 2 month old. Time seems to be flying by. Today Vyom attended Esha's (Sanjay & Kalpana's daughter) 1st Birthday party. He had a wonderful time and really enjoyed loud music and interacted with many of our friends.

He then had his 2nd month photo session and the pictures are now uploaded on the web (same location). His vocabulary seems to be improving everyday and makes all kind of funny noises :-)

Vyom in his 7th week

Vyom is now in his 7th week. He stays with his Grandma and Grandpa from Noon to 6pm while we are gone for work. He sleeps, plays, talks with them during that time.

As soon as we are back, he is all set to go to Mom for his feeding and spends a good amount of time. In the evening after his massage & bath time by Mommy-Daddy he goes for a walk. During that time he sleeps which lasts for 4-5 hours before he again becomes hungry and wakes up Mommy :-)

He now turns his face toward a sound and seems to laugh on eye contact. His 6th week pictures are in the same location on the web.

Vyom's activities

It is getting interesting day by day. He has now started looking in our eyes and loves listening to us. He is sleeping quite well in the night and only gets up when he is hungry. His vocabulary seems to be growing as well and now makes very different sounds :-). He now feels bored when left alone, and is happy surrounded by folks.

We even put him on the crib in his room with soft relaxing music. He did enjoy for sometime and even took a short nap. We also fed him with bottle, which was handled very well by him.

Now with a few more days to go before Patrika starts work, it will be interesting to see how Vyom takes it not seeing Mommy for 6+ hours

Will post more of his activities as he grows!!
