Birthday, Updates, and Decorating

Happy Birthday Punit! You got a few calls from family with birthday wishes. It was nice to talk. :) We'll really celebrate this week with a family dinner since the weekend usually tend to be used up so fast. We love you!

Seema had her 15 month appointment this week. She weighs 22lb 2oz and is 29 inches long.
We're reducing her down to 15 oz of milk/day. She loves her milk and chugs it down.
She said "more" this morning for some more strawberry-banana-orange smoothie.

We started Itsy Bitsy Yoga for TOTS today. It's an hour long and a great connecting/bonding time for us. There are 3 other girls and Moms in this class with us. They are all around the same age and it was neat watching them all interact together.

Well this kitchen wall has been bare as long as we lived in this house (not to mention the white walls). I finally got a frame of this photography. I won a photography contest by ME Photography with this photo. The only requirement was it had to have a spoon in it. The photo is of Seema refusing to use her spoon, but instead pointing at it.

Recently I had a Uppercase Living open house party. The "simple" is one of the decals I got. I had no clue where I was going to put that decal, but then this wall said "stick it on me :D".

(btw who the heck would put a phone jack in the middle of a wall??!)

Back at the blog

Long time no update!

2 days old with Aunt Colleen

15 months old

At 15 months old Seema ...

• can take up to 7 steps by herself, but she will only do it when she thinks you're not looking.
• loves to say bye and wave.
• again likes taking baths!!
• can point out her toes, belly, eyes, nose, and just recently her mouth
• loves to eat oranges the best

Today Seema is going over to Grandma's to play!


Have you ever heard of Jack and Lily shoes? These shoes are the cutest and I love that they are soft shoes with a bit of a tough sole, but not to rock hard. You can enter to win a pair of Jack and Lily shoes on this blog, here!

Hit me with your simple and yummy recipes

We, well I, made chocolate chip cookies today and decided that Seema need to have her first taste of an ice cream sandwich.









Proud to say that once again she is wanting to look at the camera.


All Done! and off to get put in the tub and then in my jammies!






Lately my favorite show on Food Network is Cooking for Real with Sunny. Her recipes are awesomely fast and usually I already have everything in my house.

Tonight's menu included baked chicken, her garlic mash, and some green beans. Pretty basic, but we had fun!

15 months old

and she has learned how to climb up the stairs! Check out the video here: http://www.viddyou.com/viddstream?videoid=40281

This pretty much sums it up...

Body Parts

That is Seema's learning how to identify her body parts. She can find her toes and belly now. The belly was pointed out for the first time today! Although, I'm confused whether I should call it a tummy or belly. We have a cow named Bella and she gets confused between Bella and belly. And if we call it tummy then what about the belly button. ROFL!!

We played outside for a while this afternoon.





It's a rare event that she will actually look at the camera anymore. She's so going to hate me by the time she gets to 5 years old and beyond! I'm waiting for a hand to cover her face.

time flies when you're having fun...

This summer has been a blast so far and it's already almost over. I cannot believe that August starts next week.

Updates:

• Seema can say "nite nite" when we go to bed.
• She points at her toes when you ask her "Seema, where's your toes?" !! We're working on where her tummy and nose are next.
• Believe it or not... she figured out how to drink from a straw on the first try.

WTG Seema!!

Our month in pictures...

Give me a marigold and I will think it's so pretty I will eat it!

Waking up with you is such a treat

Your new "big girl seat" passes the comfy test. You fell asleep in it the first time you rode in it. Now you face the front of the car and you are so small in this seat compared to your old one, you remind us of when we brought you home from the hospital.
