FAO Schwarz Jumping the Piano

Aakash enjoyed his time jumping on the Piano at F.A.O Schwarz New York City. It was very difficult to get him out of that place. We had to depend on one of the representative to pull him out.

Don't leave me!

I wanted to take a picture of Aakash and left him alone on top of a lighting effect. You can look at the fear he had in his eyes (picture 2 below) and picture 1 is the location of the shot.

Hello Aakash ... The Voice

So for a while Aakash has been talking and today he was gracious enough to allow me to record his voice. He says "Say Hello Say Hello ... and Hello Aakash" he tells his name more like Aakeesh :-) Click play in the control below to hear his voice.

Potty training gone wild!

Jilly Cooper once said "The male is a domestic animal which, if treated with firmness, can be trained to do most things." but it does not work with Aakash! This is what happens when you try to potty train him :)

Aakash in Lamps

Back home, Lamps are lit all over the house, but we thought of making it a little different and celebrated Karthikai Deepam by a "AAKASH in Lamps" theme :) Is there a better way to celebrate Karthikai Deepam? Na ... Happy Karthikai Deepam everyone!

The making of Aakash in Lamps ...

Can we go now?

Getting out shopping has its own side effects. Aakash assumes that we are taking him out to play. Today was a great day and we let him play for few minutes.

Yes they learn to do things on their own

It is amazing how these people grow and learn to do things of their own. Its nice to see them grow at the same time we miss doing for them :) We noticed yesterday that Aakash has learned to put the hat on by himself.

Riya and Rohan visit Aakash

Riya and Rohan visited Aakash last weekend. All three of them enjoyed their time ... but as always we could never take a group shot of them. They all run in different directions.

Thomas Thomas Thomas!

If you come home now you will feel like you are in the island of Sodor. Aakash's latest adiction is watching Thomas shows and playing with his Thomas toys!

In daddy's shoes

My first hair brush

Aakash was born with so much hair that we had to buy a brush for him as soon as he came home from the hospital.

Crying has changed in look and decibels

Crying has changed for Aakash these days. He no more has the baby cry which used to be cute :-)

Why that wide-eyed gaze?

This is a picture of Aiden staring at Aakash. Aiden was few days old when we took this picture. You can also see all pictures tagged with Aiden.

Staples Shipment

Picture of Aakash when he was 6 months old found in a staples shipment box :) No he was not shipped ... so he was a real trouble at that time. He did not let me clean the house and I had to put him in this box. He was contained in it for like 20 mins ... I had to take him out because I could not stand the decibels that came out of his mouth!

Pumpkin Painting

We had pumpkin painting during one of those Halloween weekends. Aakash painted both the pumpkin and his shirt :)

Playing Piano

We bought this piano for Aakash a long time ago. Today he was actually playing it with his new suit on :) Well atleast he is showing interest towards music, which makes us happy!
If you are at work reduce your speaker volume

New Suit

We tried on a new suit for Aakash. It is becoming really difficult to get him to pose for photographs these days. One of the pictures you can actually see him upset, because I asked him to sit for the session :)

Another traditional dress

A close friend of ours had got this dress for him. It is hard these days to make him sit in a place and take pictures, but we managed to get few.
