My Little Gynmast :)

Aashini has become quite the gymnast lately! She REALLY wants to crawl and has really been giving herself quite the workout!

Her legs are really strong, but she's still working on her arms :) She will push up with her legs and use her head to push up her arms - it's really funny :) (she didn't think it was very funny when she tried to do that on the marble floor though)...

The other day she almost did a forward roll! The days of having an easy baby are going away fast!!

When she gets up on her hands and knees she rocks back and forth and is so proud of herself!

FIRST TOOTH!!

So Aashini has had a little lump on her bottom gum for a while now, so we knew a tooth would eventually come soon... she's been chewing on things like crazy!! She LOVES to chew on her thumb :)

Today, when I stuck my finger in there to check the progress of her tooth - I felt it!! Her first tooth!! Go Aashini!!! I tried to take a picture of it... Aashini was very confused as to why I was taking a picture of her mouth :) (and in case you can't tell, it's the bottom left) :)
The day before yesterday, Aashini was able to get up on her hands and knees and rock back and forth! It won't be long until she's crawling away!! She's scooting across her head, and has crawled forward a step :) It's amazing how fast they grow!!

Just for Fun :)

I had a few pictures that I thought I would post :) We've been super busy with the vols we have in town, so I haven't taken many pics :) Aashini is 7 months old today! Can you believe it!?! I post 7 month pics soon, but until then...

Here's a pic of Aash in the bath :) She likes making faces in the mirror and looking at us through the mirror - She's pretty fascinated by it :)

Here she is chillin' on the bed with her doll :) She likes to hug her doll now - it's cute :)And here's a short video of Aashini blowing raspberries... it's just a few seconds if you want to check it out :)

Poor Little Girl :)

I don't know what it is... every time we cheer and say "yay" to Aashini - she cries!! It's so sad, but s funny! I don't know why she does it! haha! Anyway, check it out - (it's a super short video - only about 8 seconds)...

Poor Little Girl!

Just Hangin' Around...

So, this picture isn't very good, but you'll get the picture....

AASHINI CAN SIT UP BY HERSELF!

She's been wanting to sit up for a while now, but gets so distracted with the things all around her that she just couldn't do it... but then, just the other day, we sat her up and she stayed... now she sits up all day!! She's so big!!

Here's Aashini under a pile of diapers... (don't worry, they're clean)...Aashini still enjoys her pool time :) Lately we've been putting her in her float with her feet back and she's been "crawling" around the pool - it's so cute :)
She's been having fun!

Oh, and don't forget to check the other blog (www.SouthAsiaRocks.blogspot.com) - there's a picture of Aashini in her awesome South Asian Clothes :)

Bye Hazel!

Here's a Conversation between Aashini and Hazel...

.

Aashini - hey Hazel, did you know that you're leaving tomorrow and we won't see each other for a long time!?

Hazel - WHAT?

Aashini & Hazel - We're both Sad :(
Hazel - What are we going to do?
Aashini - I guess we could write emails and send pictures? Hazel - That sounds good...
Aashini - Now let's PLAY!!!

James and Emily left on a plane yesterday. The night before they came over and watched American Idol and we all hung out and came over yesterday morning for breakfast and then the boys and the babies hung out while Emily and I went to the market and got Mehindi (Henna)... So the girls got one last chance to play...OK here are a few funny pics ... This one looks like Aashini is saying: "Kiss the Hand" :)
This one looks like Aashini is saying: "Yo! What's up!?" And don't they look cute holding hands? They did that all by themselves. :)

Sorry Hazel... Aashini wasn't doing this on purpose - she just wanted to give you a kiss :) Bye James, Emily & Hazel!!! Hope you had a good flight!!

Scootin' Fun!

Not too long ago, Emily and I got these little South Asian "walkers" for the girls... Aashini has just gotten to where she can use it... I'm not sure what size kid it's made for, but it's a little treacherous... To be able to use it she has to be able to stand pretty well on her own or be able to balance really well in the funny seat... the seat is really narrow, and well... it's hard to explain. Anyway, she's starting to like it now and has been scooting around a little :)
Yesterday when I put her in it, she fell through one of the leg holes... she didn't cry but kept making these funny faces and seemed very confused as to what was happening :) haha!

Look at her monkey toes in the pic above... haha!

More 6 Month Fun :)

Wow! I can't believe how much Aashini has grown in just 6 months!!! Here's here bear pictures so you can compare. Although the bear looks different in these two pics, it's the same bear- Taken at one month and 6 months. This picture definitely doesn't show just how big she's grown! She's HUGE :) I can't believe she was ever this tiny!!!!
She totally won't let me hold her like this anymore :)

One thing that hasn't grown though.... HER HAIR!!... She was born with a decent amount of hair (below)...

But now... no hair :( haha! I do think that it's growing now though - but very slowly :)

Aashini is really getting into eating now. She eats 2x a day and loves it :) Today she was crying a lot and I felt her bottom gums and I think I feel a tooth coming in! Fun :) She also loves to stand now :)

SIX MONTHS!

I can't believe that Aashini is six months old!!!! Crazy!!!
Some of our friends took pics of their daughter with some flowers, so we thought it would be fun :) Aashini sure liked it :)

She tried to eat it many times :) haha!

I feel like she's grown up so much this month! She likes to stand now, she can sit up by herself for a few seconds, she likes to say the "B" sound, she's eating food... Crazy!

She's so big!

I like this picture :) She's so cute holding her hands together :)

She really loved her flower.

After a while she broke her flower and seemed to be pretty proud of herself.

Now that she's been eating, she doesn't drool as much... but she still drools a little :)

One last fun picture :)

Funny Faces!

Aashini has been making some really funny faces lately! Ever since she's started eating food, she's loved to play with her tongue. It's always sticking out! She's quite hilarious!!!This one (below) really cracks me up! It looks like she's really sticking her tongue out at me in a "nany-nany-boo-boo" kind of way (is that even how you spell that? haha!)
My little preemie has turned into quite the chub-a-lub! This pic below really showcases that - she's making a cute chubby little face :)

OK... another funny face... There are sooo many of these...

So many that I put them all into one pic :) haha!

I love funny faces!
