Strike a pose...

We recently got some photographs taken.  One of my old highschool friends Natalie and her husband started a photography company, Matt and Nat Photography and we had a blast doing our photos with her.  It was literally 95 degrees the day we took the pictures and Summit, me and the baby were sweating like crazy. Saanvi slept through the first part of the shoot, when Natalie was taking shots of her alone.  We put her on the porch in little baskets and the combination of the heat and breeze from the fan put her into a deep slumber. We got some awesome shots of her but because of the heat the family pictures didn't come out so well.  We are most likely going to take more family shots sometime in October when it's not 100 degrees out and I'm not hanging onto all my pregnancy fat! Here are a few of the shots from that day.

One month old!

Yes it's true! I'm 30 days old today! Wow how quickly 4 weeks have gone by! It is unbelievable how babies develop SO much in just 4 weeks. Her neck is already much stronger, she has started focusing on things, smiles whiles shes awake (she has yet to purposefully smile at me though), and is so much bigger.  We are slowly learning how to nurse together, learning what different cries mean and still not really sleeping very well. Here are her one month stats:

• 8 lbs. 14 oz.
• 21.5 inches in height
• 37.7 cm head circumference
• still not focusing too much on anything specific
• smiles in her sleep a lot
• loves mom more than dad





Yay, I'm one month old today!!



The very yummy cake Saanvi's Prakash velyachan bought for her very first month birthday. We baked a cake every Friday in the month of June for each of her week birthdays. Not so great when you are trying to lose the pregancy weight. Oh well :)
