Xmas in NJ

Here are the long awaited pictures from our trip to NJ over the holiday break. The holidays marked several milestones for Desmond. Not only was this Desmond's first Christmas, it was his first long out of state car trip and he did pretty well. We also went out to eat at a restaurant with Desmond for the first time. Over the holidays, Desmond also started smiling and cooing and talking to us, which is so fun for us to watch. Stella had tons of fun playing with Amamma, Appachen, and Aunt Sil and opening all of her gifts. Since she loves puzzles, Santa brought her lots of 36 and 48 piece puzzles to challenge her skills.

It was a real challenge to get Stella to sit still during these family pictures. She kept squirming and trying to break free from her Dada's arms and eventually left.






Stella showing her appreciation to Appachen for playing the "numby" game with her whereby Appachen would hold her up to see the microwave anytime it was on so that she can count backwards with it. Stella has a passion for numbers. Out of all of the things in the house, the microwave was her favorite thing and anytime it was being used, she would hear it no matter where she was in the house and would come running saying "want to do the numby".
