My First Thanksgiving

Excitement of Thanksgiving set Mom and dad to work little extra with thawing turkey that took almost 3 days and baked cookies that took hardly an hour to prepare.


This was also the first time dad wanted to bake turkey all by himself and guess what all this inspiration came from our other friends who always baked for us in most of our gatherings.
Here's how turkey looked before going in over






And after being in oven for almost 3 and half long hours, it was amazing,




Mom was obviously so excited with the idea of baking cookies for friends and family, since she loved cookies all her life and never knew to bake them all by herself.


Mom added some artwork also for Arny and "heart" cookies to remind Arnav how much we love him:)




There is no better time to be with friends and family on Thanksgiving, so we baked everything and drove to friends place to savor them all. It was a lot of fun and great time that filled our heart with joy.



As far as Arnav goes, he tasted none of those and the seeing the big turkey did bring lot of surprise for him. I guess he was so thrilled by mere size of turkey that he thought let me not touch it, seems to big to eat:)

First Photo session at 7 week

Seven months - not gaining much weight!!!

it's hard to realize how time flies.

Our dear son Arny turned seven months yesterday. It's a amazing journey since his birth. Now he sits on his own, cruses to pick toys, book magazine and yeah his all time favorite is trying to get hold of Mom's laptop. His eyes are all set on the keyboard.

I must say even though I thought to start writing as often it didn't really happen. I now see that I should have been writing more often.

We are really so blessed to see our little bundle of joy, laughing, saying aaa ta ta , da da and even mama but that was only one day on November 1st. Its so joyous to see him say dada looking at his daddy but you really have to trick him into saying that with all imagination.
Arny acheived all his milestone well on time, my only worry now is that he started to fall on his weight gain. Of course both of us are petite, I wonder if that has such a role play in his weight gain. His mealtime are not much fun. His appetite is worrying me now. We plan to discuss these issue in much detail on his next week flu shot appointment.

I wonder if there are other moms in the same boat. Please leave a comment might help a worrying mom.

Till the next post be well and happy Thankgiving holidays. I hope to write sooner this time
