Ishan!!!!

This past weekend I spent 4 lovely days in the Bay area. The primary purpose of the trip was the spend lots and lots of time with my adorable little nephew, Ishan. Then obviously the rest was to spend time with my growing family/friends. The random thought that popped into my head is that it is crazy that my world has expanded so much after meeting/marrying Raj. I have gained a sister, brother, new set of parents and loads and loads of cousins/friends. And now this
latest addition, my first immediate nephew. (many cousins babies but this is the first direct). And oh is he precious. He lights up my world completely. One smile and I melt. Do you know that he wakes up each morning so excited to start his day. He is literally giddy to start crawling and moving and laughing. He'll sit in bed with you and crawl towards you with the CUTEST smile. (at this point you are supposed to not be reacting to him so he goes back to sleep...but so hard to do..i have to turn around to keep myself from smiling back). I've watched him grow up and it is fascinating to see him take in the world. Discovering his hands, learning to crawl, grabbing food...the things we all take for granted but we forget we learned these moves. It is the funniest thing watching him crawl over a bed...boy has no depth perception, no fear and will go right off a bed if you don't watch him. If we all still had that fearlessness. (not to fall flat on our face but to have the guts to try anything.) It was a GREAT weekend. Missed my husband :( But got to see a lot of people that I hadn't seen in a while. And much more calm then a wedding weekend. Major quality time. Smiles all around thinking of it. Thanks to Ami(r), Mom, Dad, Mom's cousins, Sunil, Pooja, Sushil, Kev, Priya, Biggie....the list goes on for an AWESOME weekend. :)
