Diwali

Took both girls to Reshma's Diwali party on Sat. What a disaster it was. They were fine for the first hour, then it was their nap time and feeding time and they didn't want to both. They were cranky and crying. They finally fell asleep in their car seats, but woke up after 30 mins. There were too many people, so the house was too warm. We ended up leaving early. It took both of them a couple of hours after we got home, just to unwind.

I did see Shruthi rollover, on Thur. She did it twice. Now both girls stopped rolling over, just too lazy, take after their mom:)

Their sleep training is not going very smoothly, looks like they made a pact, they take turns with their sleep routines;)

We are going to CA for ThanksGiving! This is our practive flight before our big trip to India in Jan. Swapna is already worried about how we will deal with two babies on the plane. This will be a ver, very long flight;)

News flash - Shruthi started rolling over. I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but my mom says that Shruthi rolled over three times today. Swapna may get to eat her Bobbatlu this weekend:)

Swapna has been trying to get the girls to take a nap in the evening. Shruthi finally did take a nap this evening, but Vennela refuses to do so. She just screams and screams, but doesn't want to sleep. If we bring her out in to the living room, she would have a big smile;)

Shruthi Laughing:)

Solids

Swapna started to feed our girls rice cereal for the pasty weeks. What a mess, they probably eat 25% and the rest is on their bibs. Instead of the cereal, they are more interested in eating their colorful bibs;) May be we should just put the cereal on their bibs and let them lick it away:)

Both girls started to hold onto their toes. Now they can pull their socks off;) Took them to Ohio Dr this evening, Vennela was great at following the airplanes flying into National. Today is a perfect Fall day, crispy and cool.

Apple Picking

We had a busy weekend, went apple picking on Sat, with Rajesh and his family. It was fun, but there were too many people and I don't think the girls enjoyed it. They were in their stroller most of the time; they would rather be laying down on the grass, looking at the trees. The weather was perfect, great day to be outside, perfect Fall day.

We took our girls to Amy's home yesterday. Shruthi was too hyper, must be all the light and the trees. She was just too happy.

Swapna has to go to work this whole week, she has a training class. Will be the first week that both of us will be out of the home the whole day.
