LATE WEEKEND UPDATE


This weekend has been highly stressful and tiring since we were moving to a new apartment. The moving which i thought would be easy since the aparment we were moving to was on the same apartment complex and on the same floor but it turned out not so easy.Jenna was super cranky during the moving,because of her shots she received the day before...Anyway we have succesfully moved in and i still have lot of unpacking to do..I'm totally in love with the new apartment,we have lots of space,Jenna gets her own bedroom ,I had put up some cute dora wall decors for her and im sure she loves it because everytime she enters her room,she sees the Dora wall decors and her face totally lights up and she says ''AA AA''which supposedly means Dora...though the moving ,unpacking,decorating her room was all very tiring...,it is totally worth it to see her happy and smiling....

A LITTLE STAR IN THE MAKING


Jenna has an ear for music from the time she was very little.. even now she likes to hear songs while playing.If i turn it off ,she will come next to me and nudge me until i turn it on again.What amazes me is she hums the tune of her favourite song or rhymes..for instance today she was humming twinkle twinkle star and whenever the word star comes she says''' taa''..when i ask her''Jenna whats your favourite song'' she says'' uh uh oh''..which apparently is beyonce's single ladies in which she sings uh uh oh... she really surprises me by humming many tamil(native language) songs.. who knows she might turn into a singer later on in life ; ) and make mommy proud..hehe

WEEKEND UPDATE

Its been really long since i had great weekend.. with my hubby busy with his CFA exams and me and Jenna down with the stomach bug,its been a month since we actually went out...We went to our friends place and got to see her adorable baby girl... its been a long 2 months of pending visit and we finally got to see her...

Sunday was my day out ,i went for '' New Moon'' and i loved it.. the introductory scene where Edward walks towards Bella with his trademark smile ,my heart actually skipped a beat.. Here,Look at me ,im a married woman with a 14 month old kid and im going ga ga over someother guy... im sure my hubby wont be happy reading this...but i ought to tell the truth ; ) Few of my friends said that they heard new moon is not good but i liked it,they have done justice to the novel which usually does not happen in novel adaptation movies..cant wait for Eclipse to release...Hope everyone else had a great weekend.

14 MONTH MILESTONES


Jenna is now 14 m0nths old..She weighs around 22 pounds .Her milestones for the month are

1.She can climb on the couch or bed and get down by herself. Im relieved that now she knows to get down by herself,a month back she used to climb and was clueless how to get down,now she has figured her way out.

2.Her vocabulary is increased so much..she says mumm mumm when she's hungry,nanni when she wants water..if she falls down and i ask her ''Are u okay Jenna?''.. she replies''' kay''.She says the last or first words of any word.. whichever is easier for her to tell.. for instance, rice she says ice,banana as nana.

3.She calls my bro as mama which means uncle in our native language.

4.She eats cookies,oranges by herself.. she also got to taste her first lollipop,but im terrified and it was the only time.

5.She now takes only one nap a day but sometimes two. I secretly wish she takes 2 naps a day so that i have some time to sneak into facebook..or watch tv..

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY-STINKING CUTE!


BACK FROM MY SLUMBER!

I 've been so bad at blogging nowadays,mainly because im so lazy but i do read all my favourite blogs...Coming to us,we had a really bad weekend...Jenna got a stomach bug and she was throwing up four times for the past 4 days...this is her first time getting sick,she has got cold before but nothing major..Its really heart wrenching to watch your daughter throwing up,crying and helpless..she clinged on to me and i sat hugging her the entire time she was sick.. but when she had thrown up and was feeling well,she was her usual self..she didnt take an ounce of pedialyte or water and jus wanted to breastfeed....what a life saver it was ,it was the only food he can tolerate and she stayed hydrated..thank god for that...i have not resumed her diet and she is on a bland diet like rice and crackers...to add mess to this situation i caught the bug from her but it was not severe for me,i was zonked for a day but ended up fine...with 2 sick people at home my hubby took care of the entire house.. cooking,cleaning,dish washing...im just blessed.. what more can i say??

RANDOM

I have been busy the past week ,doing lot of things... like what u may think?studying...i finally finished my forensics diploma program last week and i got my graduation certificate thru mail... im planning to do a masters in oral biology which is the best bet for me ,since i dont have the heart to do the whole dentistry course again for 4 years.. its an on campus course so i might join only after i put Jenna in pre school.. until then i have to collect all the paper work and give my toefl exam ....

Besides that i have been reading... one question people ask how u have the time to read.. but its actually its how u find the time for urself.. im incredibly lucky since Jenna sleeps early.. she is in bed by 8.30 and after finishing household chores i browse,read.. its my lone time and i luv that time when the house is silent and i can read .. Right now im reading the twilight series and im so into ..i knew it was some teen fiction and wanted to know what the hoopla is about and started reading...the book is so addicting...i have to write a seperate post about the book.,,its that good..

Coming to Jenna she always want to go out to play.. she carries her shoes and my handbag and comes to me and says amma buh bye... she jus enjoys being outdoors unlike me.. i jus like to curl on the couch and read and watch tv.. her personality is developing so rapidly now... she cries until she gets what she want... she will make u laugh by making silly faces or running around the house with a towel over her head.. she has become one naughty brat ;)

JENNA 'S FIRST HALLOWEEN









This is the first halloween Jenna is celebrating,last time she was jus 3 weeks old so we didnt do much... this being her first she clearly had lots of fun...
We dressed her as a Lady bug,because that was the only one in stock in party city .Initially I had wanted to dress her up as angel or pumpkin but both were out of stock...anyway she was a cute lady bug.. I put on a red outfit with matching red horns and was the devil ,my hubby had an afro wig and all of us went to the old town pasadena for trick or treat and later in our neighbourhood.. Jenna walked by herself most of the time and all of sudden she sat down on the streets to check out the candies... it was damn cute... by the time we came home she was completely zonked out..we had a good collection of candies and Jenna had he first lollypop from the collection,later i gave her piece of kit kat and she loved it....and that was her treat and the rest is mine ; )

PUMPKIN PATCH











We had been planning to go to the pumpkin patch for a few weeks now but were busy with Jenna's party ... anyway we finally got to go yesterday..and we had so much fun.. Jenna got to see all the farm animals,the moment she saw the sheep she said baa baa baack chee (baa baa black sheep) and she was running behind chickens and ducks...but she was not able to go on the pony ride since she is too small for that ,maybe next time she would ride on it...we got a pumpkin home and im planning to carve it .We had a great weekend and looking forward for the coming weekend,since we are taking Jenna for trick or treat in the mall with other friends..

GO AWAY!COMMON COLD.. GO AWAY!

Go away.. big green monster ! is Jenna 's favourite song right now which is apt for the halloween season...and all i want right now is the cold to go away... Jenna seems to be ok with a little runny nose but for me its horrible... im not prone much to infections here but in India its a different story... i used to fall sick every month mostly infection of the sinus.. but after coming here i feel my sinusitis has improved ,only 2 infections in 3 years... good!Once i got the cold immediately i thought it was the flu...and that reminds me i have to get a flu shot this week...Jenna is yet to get her flu shot too...about the swine flu shot im still skeptical about taking that since there is a lot of story going behind it.. will wait until next month for that..

POST PARTY UPDATE











I have been in a post party hangover all this while and that explains the reason for my absence...so we had a great party.. the food was great.. Jenna was cranky initially since i had made her wear the ghagra choli which was a bigger size and she was tripping and falling while walking but when it was time to cut the cake and when everyone started singing HAPPY BIRTHDAY..she was so happy and flashed a big smile for the cameras showing all her teeth.. me and hubby didnt get to taste much of the food and cake since we were busy taking care of everything.... the kids loved the jumper we had rented and everyone said they had a great time and were able to eat well since all their kids were busy playing in the jumper... anyway everything went well and the party was a success.. not bad for a first time i would say..and we had so many friends who were there to help us out by bringing the food from the restaurant,cleaning the hall after the party and one of my friends had flew from Portland with her hubby took care of Jenna the whole time when we were busy playing host ...without them it would have been very difficult...thank u guys.. anyway it was a great night and im happy that everyone had a great time as well..

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JENNA!


Last year,this time i was in the delivery room hooked up to monitors waiting for u to come after waiting for 40 long weeks but u chose not to come out by yourself and came only when they induced. After 5 hours of inducing and 2 hours of pushing u finally made the grand entry into this world ...little did i know then that u would change our entire life... you were the best thing that happened to me and i have been loving this role as a mom which u gave me and i thank God for choosing us to be your parents... u have taught me so much in life inspite of u being so little .... though i feel a lil sad that ur growing up everyday.. a part of me is happy to see u so independent and learning new things... happy birthday baby and as mommy says everyday i love u soooooo much,for which u reply ''MUAH''which is ur way of giving a kiss... nothing makes me more happy and that small word cheers up even my worst day.AndI hope i continue to do a decent job in raising u ....

MOMMY'S DAY OUT


I had been for a movie this weekend with a friend of mine while daddy looked after Jenna.. initially i was skeptical whether to go or not... but i had to watch this movie Final destination -4 i had already watched the previous 3 parts and liked it..and since this movie was only for 1 hour 22 mins,i did go... the movie was pretty good ,we happened to watch the 3d version... so it was even better...anyway daddy and his little girl were chilling at the pool while i was out..looks like they had a great time too....its nice to get out once in a while with friends with nothing to think about...next plan is to go shopping leaving both of them at home since i can never shop in peace..one of them is always asking is it over yet?(u knw who im talking bout)the other doesnt want to sit in the stroller and keeps screaming....arghh!

STRANGE...

Has any of the following happened to u before?like..

a)wiping ur own mouth after feeding ur child..

b)feeding one child when your supposed to feed another child..(i did this the other day ,i was feeding my friend's son strawberries and all of sudden i was forcing strawberries into Jenna's mouth)

c)Going into the room to pick up something and suddenly not knowing why you came in..,

Does this happen to anyone?...Am i plain weird?

BIRTHDAY PREPARATION STARTS

With only 6 weeks left for Jenna's birthday,im going crazy deciding upon which theme for the birthday?,who to invite,where to conduct the party...im jus going bonkers $&^##@... i thought this is easy ,i can do it..but i must say its a lot of tough work.. though Jenna wont remember her first birthday party,i want it to be a memorable one for all of us..When she grows up and looks at her birthday photos i dont want her to tell,''mom,u seriously did that theme for my first b'day..''Moreover only the first few birthday we can decide what to do,after that they decide...initially i thought i will do Glamourcat as theme bcoz she loves cat and can say cat too but somehow my bro nd hubby dont want it.. so thinking about princess or rubber ducky theme...soo confusing.Yet to decide what cake to buy,food,what to put inside the goodie bags.... OMG!I hope i decide soon..

INCISORS ,MAKE YOUR WAY THROUGH!


Jenna has been cranky for the past few days.. i blame it on the teething,what else?? Her upper two incisors are coming out ,one of them has peeked out a little too..
She has not been sleeping well in the night and yesterday night was the worst,she was up every two hours and i didnt sleep well too.
She has a drool rash because of the constant drooling and feeding her has become a challenge as she bites everytime.
She doesnt not take the teether or the cold washcloth.Her lower teeth came out without a problem and i hope this comes out sooner too .
Many more teeth to come and many more sleepless nights.. i bet the molar tooth will hurt more when it erupts..Hmm.. hope the next 16 teeth comes out with a problem.

CAMPING IN THE FOREST

I have been M.I.A for the past 3 days since we were busy camping at the Sequoia National Forest.It was first -time experience for me and Jenna and we truly enjoyed it.
Our travel was delayed by 4 hours and by the time we reached the campsite it was midnight and we had to set up the tent which took another two hours.Our campsite was beautiful,secluded and it had a stream running behind but on the downside the forest ranger warned us that the site had many bears visiting due to the stream behind.One of our friends got to see a bear too.

Jenna loved playing with the rocks and the stream behind our campsite. It was freezing cold in the night ,we spent our night around the campfire eating burgers,barbequed chicken,tomato soup.... yumm!

We spotted many deers too around our campsite.






In the morning we set out on a hiking trail to see the Sherman tree which is the largest tree on earth. It was a totally different experience for me and it made me realize what a luxurious life we have and makes me appreciate more the comforts we have in life.

JENNA AND THE SQUIRREL

I just love this video and wanted to share it with others. As you can see the squirrel is absolutely terrified of her, and you can see her signing to the squirrel to come by waving her hand.

P.S -The credit goes to my hubby for getting such a candid moment between them.

WHATTE WEEKEND....PHEW!


When me and my hubby thought it was high time we clean up our acts for being late every time we had a get-together with friends we ended up being too errrr ....read on!... ok so we decided to leave early for the barbecue on saturday evening but guess what... the friend who organised the barbecue had ended up giving a wrong location ,so we were searching for the location for 2 hours and got together with the other invited people who were just lost like us and later we called the organising friend to come and take us to the spot.. but guess what he lost his way too while taking us....grrr!this was a big lake and he took us to one end whereas the spot was on the other end... i have never ever walked so much in my life.. my legs hurt like hell and Jenna did not want to sit in the stroller, finally we ended up taking turns carrying her until we reached the spot..we just stayed there for an hour coz my hubby was going for the soccer match.. so we didnt get to stay long as we had to leave early!

The next day was our friend 's baby shower... she had time and again warned us to be on time,considering our previous records for turning up late... so we got up at 5.30 in the morning,so we all dressed up on time and was there at 8.00 perfectly,only to find there was no one there in the location where it was supposed to be held...then called up my dear friend who said she was just starting from home... anyway the baby shower was gr8,only thing i had to keep running behind Jenna who was walking super fast... i know its tiring to read such a long post,imagine how tired i would be by just being there and writing it too.....

JENNA'S PLAYLIST

My ears are bleeding from hearing and seeing the same song everyday... Jenna just loves The ketchup song and i play it on youtube whenever she is fussy,or i need to use the restroom,when she is not eating.....this song can totally stop her meltdown any time..oh im so grateful for the song,but im tired of hearing it again and again... and hey she loves only the spanish version..we tried the english version but somehow she doesnt show the same enthusiasm.Do you know we have a Jenna 's playlist on the ipod.?.we connect to the car stereo and whenever she is bored or fussy in the car,we play it and immediately she keeps quiet..when she was 3 months old we used to play the nursery rhymes but now she is too much into english and bollywood songs.She has a long list of bollywood songs and it will take an entire post to just name it.. so i will leave it there.. And Happy Weekend everybody.

OUR LITTLE BABBLER

There was a time when i was worried that Jenna is not babbling much and when i asked the doc he said her little brain is concentrating on motor skills.. now that she has reached the important milestone ''walking'',she has now turned her focus on verbal skills.. she is babbling to glory most of the time.. she says abbbaaaabba so loudly... she can say one word when we ask her to repeat names ,for example she can say ca sounds kaa when we say cat,for baby she says papa,,fish she says shh .. today morning an interesting thing happened,my hubby had left for office before we got up.. she usually sees him first in the morning since i sleep an extra 15 mins ; ) anyways she got up and the first word she said was DA {pause} DI..imagine my surprise... she usually says abba and no i was not jealous she didnt say mama,ok wait! maybe i was a teeny weeny bit,then i told her daddy has gone to office and she replied back OFFF ,sounded like ARFF... though some times her babbling sounds gibberish,nothing makes me more happy....

WEEKEND WRAP-UP

We had a fun and frolicky weekend in the park.We packed our lunch and had it in the park,it was a beautiful day ,not too hot... Jenna usually cries when we allow her to walk in the park andlike everytime she did not want to get down but once she got used to the grass she started walking and did not stop unless she tripped and fell.. she was so tired walking that once we got into the car,she slept...We went to a botanical garden but unfortunately it was closed.. so we got back home..Yesterday we took Jenna to the pool,as usual she loved it and didnt want to get out of the pool.I really dont know how weekend flies...sigh!

AN UNWANTED VISITOR

Do u know i m a chronic back pain sufferer?It all started when i delivered an 8 pound baby..thats what the dr said, my tail bone had fractured since she was a big baby.. Along with the joys of motherhood,came this back pain.. but my delivery was easy -peasy ,thanks to the invention of epidural,i never felt a thing .BJut back in the post -partum room,i had severe back pain and when the nurse told me to rate my pain between 1 to 10 i said 11,because it was that painful.. anyway back home when i was supposed to rest,i couldnt sit or lay straight on the bed,after 10 months of sleeping on your side ,i so badly wanted to sleep straight on my back and couldnt..getting up after sitting would take hours for me,and when i was all alone in my room with Jenna in the crib,i couldnt get up to go and carry her and i would scream for my mom to come and carry her... the worst part was the ''kirr kirr''(thats how it sounded)everytime i get up after sitting down..err!i learned to live with the pain but the sound drove me nuts... Dr explained that like with all fractures it takes months to heal and this its not a bone,a cartilage.. so it should heal soon with exercise.. so why am i talking all this crap??Its because the pain has started from the past week ,once i stopped going to the gym,thank god no ''kirr kirr'' sound yet... so its time to revisit the gym from next week... im so damn lazy and i dont wanna go but thinking about the pain,i better buck up and hit the gym..till then pray for me the pain keeps it pace and doesnt shoot up..

LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL


This happened a few weeks ago and i wanted to write it here but it jus passed my mind, and another incident happened yesterday so i was reminded of the previous one too... let me start... if u had read my previous posts u would know Jenna says Amma a.k.a mom to me and Abba a.k.a dad to my hubby... so coming to the incident,as usual i put Jenna to sleep and put her in the bed and got up to leave the room,then Jenna suddenly puts her arm over my neck like she is hugging me and she is still sleeping and she says AMMA... I teared up only to get caught by my hubby who asked why are u crying ? But me being too chicken to say i cried said ''no i have a cold... : > and yesterday night she got up countless time in her sleep,crying and going back to bed again..so i was tired ,all of sudden i get up frantically,thinking Jenna crawled out of the bed and has fallen down ,only to see she is sleeping peacefully next to daddy.... so i go back to bed and the next minute,she gets up scared and is crying AMMA and searches for me... what can i say?the bond between a mom and baby exists even after the umblical cord is cut... nothing makes me more happy than being a MOM.

TRIP TO THE PARK


We just got back from the park and guess what this time Jenna did not sleep in the swing, she enjoyed .... We went to this new park which we havent gone before and i was surprised to find most of the indian community there... they have some sought of moms meet up in the evening .. i got to meet some very friendly moms there and i would love to continue to go the park but the only problem is its 25 min walk from my house.. so if u know me personally u know i would never make an attempt to walk so long... so jus thinking whether i should really leave behind my laziness and start walking to the park atleast for Jenna 's sake.. she loved looking at the kids and playing in the swing....lets see or i guess i will just wait until my hubby is back from office and takes us to the park..this works out easier atleast for me...
