Milan at 3 Years (and an announcement)

Milan is 3 years old today!  He got a special birthday boy t-shirt and crown and partied the day away.

First, we took some pictures with Brownie.  Milan is now growing off the blanket!  He's a lot bigger now than he was at 3 days and 3 months. 

Next we celebrated Milan's birthday with some ice cream at daycare with all his friends.

The birthday celebrations continue over the weekend!

We also will be discontinuing Milan's marvelous monthly updates.  However, you'll still get to hear about Milan through monthly updates of his baby brother, due to arrive in late August!  Look out for a site rebranding and more marvelous moments soon!

Milan fulfilled his dream of driving a garbage truck...

..and honking the horn of a big rig at a local "Touch-a-Truck" event

Milan at 32 Months

How many of you have checked the charge on a battery with a voltmeter lately?

Just because he's home sick doesn't mean he can't pull his own weight

Milan got to drive a big rig (though he asked, "why isn't it moving?")

Milan in Mexico

Milan is working on filling up his passport, this time by traveling to Mexico

We accompanied several friends to a beautiful house with a beautiful view near Puerto Vallarta

Milan enjoyed his pool and beach time and even posed for some pictures

He also had lots of fun with his buddy Kavya

Here's the whole gang!

Milan at 31 Months: Milan goes to India!

Milan crossed the ocean for the first time this month on the way to India

Our first stop was Dharampur where he had lots of cousin fun with Keshav, who had also traveled far and wide

Here we are trying to jump for the self-timer after watching the sunrise

While riding the rickshaw, Milan saw a camel! ઊંટ (uunt) is now his favorite Gujarati word.

More cousin fun

Notice the tippy toes

On the way back, Milan became an expert flyer, mastering both the art of sleeping on planes and in-flight entertainment

It's a good thing, because the traveling isn't done:  next stop, Mexico!
