23 Months

This month was so much fun! There were many celebrations and festivals and we enjoyed each one a lot.

Diwali was one of the first festivals of this month. We started off the day by wishing everyone a "Happy Diwali!" We called all our relatives over FaceTime and spoke to them. Later we helped mumma paint some diyas. We are very talented artists you see, so mom thought who better to paint the diyas for Diwali. While we were at it, why not paint our legs and hand and tummies too. It was a lot of fun!

Anything with painting is so much fun!

Later that evening Mahin, Aunty, Uncle and Baby Evaani came and we did Diwali pooja together and then did some fireworks. We got all dressed up in our new clothes and did pooja. The best part of the pooja was that we had to put ghee in the diyas and so we decided to taste the diyas just to make sure they were OK before we lit them for "baanji" (Bhagwanji) Did we forget to mention that we LOVE ghee!

Then it was Halloween. We dressed up a bugs! Zoya was a bumble bee and Zara a lady bug! We loved out outfits and loved our wings a lot. I think we really surprised mumma, in that, we wore the whole outfit without a fuss! But hey, we looked uber cute don't we?

The other big celebration of the month was Papa's birthday! We had a really good time celebrating with him. We gave him our handmade cards and presents early in the morning. We got to decorate some cookies with him and them while Mumma and Papa enjoyed some champagne they decided to share some caviar with us. Zoya really liked caviar and ate spoonful of it. After that Papa did our nails for us and we finished a great night of with a movie, cuddles and popcorn! Happy Birthday Papa!!

We both love talking and hearing ourselves. Zara now puts together words together into sentences to try and communicate. Zara also has a secret language between her and Mumma. Only they know what they are saying, if that! To everyone else it just sounds like silly sounds! Zoya likes to repeat what Mumma and Papa say.  We both love going down the slides and now try doing some stunt moves as well. Zara tries to go head first while Zoya now has no problems going forward facing. We love throwing balls down the stairs and playing with water balloons. We always fight with each other on the colors of the balloons. Zara loves her baby and now spends a lot of time playing Mumma with her baby and also talking with her baby.
