The joy is a one & half years old now!!

Languishing, away from the action for a while now.
But thanks to internet, skype & wifey.. I keep getting all the updates the moment they happen.
Some adorable shots from the last 6 months.

Though a little grainy, the shots are absolutely candid and tell a beautiful tale of a beautiful girl finding her feet in the world.

Advika is 1 !!! 4th August, 2012.

Well, time flies.
It all seems like yesterday : when I scroll down this page and see Advika's tiny avatar.
The transition between that 'yesterday' and 'today' is something that we would give our lives for.
We have shunned movie halls since the last 1 year, but yet, we have thoroughly enjoyed the 365 days of parenting, the 365 nights of staying awake, the 8760 hours of watching her grow and the 525,600 minutes of playing with her.
We'll leave you with some pictures of Advika's first birthday.

Advika's 7th/8th month pics

It's been quite sometime now since the last upload.
Advika now sits, plays, makes a lot of meaningless sounds.
She recognizes people, smiles at the good ones and cries at her doctor's sight. Guess she hates the injections. :)
She rolls over, picks whatever is in her reach and puts it in her mouth!
In the meanwhile she just had her mundan ceremony. A few pics from there are thrown in too.

A few videos of Advika giggling and laughing.

These are some of Advika's videos in her 6th month.
She makes a lot of noise these days, tries to grab attention and giggles and laughs. All you need is a bit of patience. Keep smiling at her and she will start smiling back at you.

Advika through her 4th & 5th months :-)

Some pictures of Advika through December 2011.
She is 5 months old now, tosses and tries hard to turn to her side.
Makes a lot of different noises too ... and mind you.. pretty high decibel :-)

Unlike most infants, she enjoys her baths... and is a water baby.

Divi is married - 21-11-2011!

Divya Sharma, this was the most awaited event of our lives.
We were excited more than her. :P

I still remember all the fun that went into it.
First the Matrimonial Ad.
I got at least 800 calls. Every morning, uncles across India woke me up at 630 AM and I stopped setting alarms.
The proposals folder on Divya's laptop has some real gems!

Then Nirupam Goswami appeared and chats from India, Moscow, Middle east, Ekaterinburg turned into video chats and finally into the album on the left in no time!
Please click the thumbnail on the left to see the funniest moments of the most awaited moment of our lives!!

Advika at 2 months :)

Advika is now an adorable 2 month old baby!
She has started cooing a bit and making gurgling noises.
A lot of earlier photos had her in various moods.. so this time we decided to do a bit of 'sleep photography' on her!

Advika's day out - Mumbai.

It was Advika's first outing.
Like any good parent, we had made a note of all dos & donts for her first flight.
But when the day came,  she flew like a bird.
Gracefully and without a flinch on her face.

Well done baby!
We love you.

Advika at 1 month :-)

Advika is now 1 month old :)She is still a calm and happy baby, but yells like Kajol in 'My-name-is-Khan' when she is hungry.
Now I know why Kajol yelled in that movie all through!
Anyways, that's besides the point.
Enjoy a few pictures of Advika and her daddy...

Advika - 4th August, 2011

This day, the angel graced our lives. We named her Advika almost immediately :)
The naming ceremony happened much later, on 14th August, 2011.
Advika means 'unique', 'like no other'
