Big shopping for lil ones!!

It is sooooo much fun!!! never shopped for a baby before and never knew that the market is flooded with such cute stuff. Dont ask about the price though..they do burn a hole in the pocket. Some of my favourite places for shopping for young ones are-

Fabindia: To get the special kurta or ghagra for special occasions.

Apple of my I: Has some cool stuff for home wear (traditionally called 'jhablas')

Toys N toys, CMH road: Very reasonable and has lot of woolen stuff thruout the year.

Mothercare: Expensive but very good quality and very comfortable for lil ones.

Apart from that all superstores are full of attractive stuff for babies.

My Valentine!

Sparsh turned one month old and celebrted his first valentine day by going for first family outing to a chinese restaurant with Papa, Mummy and Nani!

Lil kangaroo sticking to grandma!

I have never seen my mom so happy in recent years..not even when I got married. She cant take her eyes off lil Sparsh and Sparsh also sticks to her like a lil kangaroo!

If your baby is "beautiful and perfect, never cries or fusses, sleeps on schedule and burps on demand, an angel all the time," you're the grandma."

Goddess of wisdom!

Sparsh offered pushpanjali to God on his first saraswati puja!

Seeking blessings!

Sparsh visited the temple for first time! he shivered as his hand touched the cold feet of the large Shivji idol :-)

Yawn....saga of new parents!

Like most new borns, Sparsh sleeps and gets up on his will. At times he just gets up in the middle of night and stares at us and the room as if trying to absorb every little detail. Last night new mommy and new daddy were trying to put him to sleep and yawned together around midnight and smiled....i felt it was a sign that baby will bring us endless special moments which will be very dear to us as a couple!

A baby will make love stronger, days shorter, nights longer, bankroll smaller, home happier, clothes shabbier, the past forgotten, and the future worth living for.

Muscle power

I never knew that we use our stomach muscles in almost every move that we make. The first week after a c-section delivery makes one realize that (courtesy the pain that hits even when doing routine things like, laughing your heart out!) and I promise to take best care of them all the rest of life.
