18 Months Old Today

Today is Dhruvi's 18 month birthday.  I can't believe my little baby is  a year and a half old!  It is bittersweet to watch him grow so quickly.  After our trip to India, Dhruvi has blossomed into a little man that can hold his own and in many instances bully both Mandar and me.

I took a little trip down memory lane today to reminisce our chunky monkey's past six months.

Month 12 -  Our baby turns one!

Month 13 -  Dhruvi loves the beach.  We took this pic on Mandar's birthday trip to Cancun Mexico

Month 14 -  This was a special month for Dhruvi when Pallu (Dhruvi calls Pillu moshi) visited him for the first time.  We were hanging out in the backyard just before we went out for dinner

Month 15 -  I love this picture because I see myself in my baby boy.  Dhruvi drinks a lot of water just like me and is obsessed with my water bottle

Month 16 -  Dhruvi's debut trip to India.  He really had a blast and was so happy to be surrounded by his family.  This picture is Dhruvi sporting his first pair of Kolhapuri Chappals

Month 17 - We have a duck pond very close to our home.  Weather permitting we often go to the pond to feed the ducks.  It was an unusually warm day in the month of January and our little duckling is thrilled to be outdoors.

Month 18 - 18 month old going on eight. Bundle of energy, loves an adventure, spontaneous hugger and kisser, and the joy of our life!

Today being Dhruv's birthday, I wanted to do something special for Dhruvi to celebrate this big milestone, but being a weekday was restricted in what I could do.  I settled for making his favorite dish - Shrikhand and stuck a candle in the bowl. Dhruvi kept calling the Shrikhand cake.  I think he was confused because of the candle.  Dhruvi enjoyed eating the Shrikhand and making a mess.


I let Dhruvi do pretty much what he wanted today which was to watch TV and see the Chipmunks perform Bad Romance on YouTube, not once, but 4 times!.  Dhruvi was also allowed to play for 10 whole minuted on the iPad and pummel Talking Tom .  All in all I think he had a good birthday.
