One Month Old

We turned one month old on January 16th. We had a great day. We started out by having our one month doctors visit. Dr. Husain said we were doing great and had both put on some weight and had grown about 2 inches in height too. Hooray...this of course called for a party!

Later that evening we cut a small cake to celebrate our milestone. Dad brought us a really cute cookies n cream cake for our special occasion. We can't decide between us who is the cookie and who is the cream as mom calls us both her cookies.  :)

Of course this called for a mini photo shoot!

Look how tall Zara is!!

Yay!! Zoya is 1 Month old!!

Our First Pooja

We had our first on Tuesday January 8th 2013. The pooja was scheduled for 10:30 in the morning.

We had their first full bath which we loved tremendously. It was defeintely new to us as we made some funny faces but we sure did enjoy our malish that nani gave up as then a soothing warm bath after that. Life sure is bliss! We also let mom know how hungry they were right after our bath that waiting to get dressed seemed like eons.

We slept through most of the pooja. All our immediate family was in attendance. Nani was here in person while dadu, dadi, nanu, bua, uncle and lastly bhaiya Vivan were in attendance through Facetime. The panditji did an amazing job on the pooja which was followed by a havan.
