Welcome home Tara :)

Vinay and I welcomed home our 8 month old lil devil Tara Menon on the Friday, July 17. The rest is history - managing days without shower (2.5 days to be precise), green potty or yellow potty and WHY??, nestum or cerelac, sterilizing bottles and every toy she touches (Vinay's gone insane!), move from measuring a 30/60ml drink t0 7 ounce fluid milk, and worst awful-smelly-GAS and the whining accompanied by it :), Nevertheless Tara's homecoming has toppled our lives and is teaching us loads of life lessons (details in another blog...some other time).


Here are some initial pictures with descriptions. This one is at the convent the day we went to get Tara - the sisters said that she has been very quiet the entire morning, they said that it is a common phenomenon with the children here; they understand that they are going to leave the convent.
This one is the morning after - post a very cranky first day, she woke up with a big smile next morning. Vinay was absolutely besotted by Tara
Amma trying to put Tara to sleep
Making a face at our 15 grand purchase from Mothercare. Tara seems to have no plans whatsoever to sleep in the crib-cot, she prefers making both of us sleep like logs without blankets (in the fear of suffocation) sleeping right next to her on the same bed.

WISH US LUCK and HAPPINESS :)
