Celebrating the Big "1"

We celebrated Milan's 1st birthday with many of our friends and family at our home with made-to-order dosas and mango lassi









Milan first experience with cake involved more sculpting and flinging than eating



 

   

Milan then celebrated with his friends at daycare 

 

 

The muffin suffered the same fate as the chocolate cake

Happy Birthday Milan! 

Milan at 1 Year

A year ago today, we were staring at a tiny 6-pound creature who had just made his way into the world. 

That tiny helpless bundle has now transformed into an impressively capable little man.  From the moment he became mobile, he has not been satisfied by staying in one place, earning nicknames like “Speedy Gonzales.”  He now motors around with a purpose, organizing items in a methodical fashion, bringing us his shoes to signal that he wants to go outside, or taking us to his high chair when he’s ready for a meal.  He says “uh-oh” when something falls to the ground and growls when asked what tigers say.

 

We look forward to all the marvelous moments the next year will bring with our main man Milan!

Milan's New Look and Swagger

Milan sprouted his first tooth and took his first steps all on the same day!
