Pool Time with Tanya Masi!

One of the first activities Krish enjoyed out in the Bay Area was swimming in the heated pool at our condo. Actually, he really seems indifferent to swimming. We can't tell if he enjoys it or could care less for it. Of course, we enjoy taking him so we interpret that he likes it! :) And you know it's very sunny out here, so Krish can't forget his sunglasses!

You have to check out our view too--it's gorgeous!

Krish Visits the Ocean at Half Moon Bay

On the first weekend after we arrived to California, we took a family trip to Half Moon Bay where we enjoyed a beach picnic and introduced Krish to the ocean. Neil carried Krish towards the water, and he was absolutely mesmerized by the giant waves tumbling onto the beach. He loved it! Half Moon Bay is known to be very windy, but we all really enjoyed relaxing on the beach, snacking on junk food, and playing cards with Krish.

First Time in his New Crib!

This actually happened about a month ago, but since I just figured out how to post a video of the right file size, I am just now being able to post this update. So, like his new room, Krish is very proud of his new crib. When we first showed it to him, fully assembled, he knew immediately that it was for him! He had so much fun playing in it and watching his mobile that day. We couldn't take enough pictures, but here is one we'd like to share.

Krish's New Room

Krish finally has his very own room now, and he is so proud of it! It is an ABC-123 Animal themed room where Krish loves to have friends come over to play with him and his toys. So far, his grandparents, great-grandparents, aunts and uncles have all come to visit him and play with him in his new room. He has been so excited to welcome all of his friends and visitors and will be so excited to see you too! His Mommy and Daddy love playing with him too and we add something new to the room almost every week! This week, we are decorating the door and hallway wall.

Off to Trader Joe's

For those of you who know me very well, you know I couldn't wait to be a regular shopper at Trader Joe's. Well, that dream has finally come true! Now that we're in California, grocery shopping at Trader Joe's is a once-a-week outing.

However, unlike my childhood visions, I am not doing these grocery errands alone. I now have Krish with me, and boy, is he a head-turner! Today, Krish sat upright in the grocery cart for the very first time and he loved it! He attracted so much attention too. Almost every person we walked by in the store stopped to talk to him and admire him. One sweet woman even bumped into us several times to play with him! It was sweet and amusing, to say the least. All in all, it was a delightful experience, and Krish seemed to be having a ball!

California Trips - Summer 2010

Here are a few of the places we visited when we arrived to California. Krish loved seeing the variety of marine life at the Monterey Bay Aquarium and enjoyed the nature walk at Muir Woods. 17-Mile Drive and Fisherman's Wharf were a bit chilly, but Napa Valley was beautiful, warm and sunny!

Hello California!

Our family just moved to the Bay Area--San Mateo to be exact--on July12, 2010. We definitely miss our Texas family and friends but are grateful that we are surrounded by many friends and family members here in California as well.

Since our move, we have enjoyed visiting many new places and exploring our new home of San Francisco. A few of the places we've been to are Monterey Bay, Fisherman's Wharf and Ghiradelli Square, Muir Woods, and Napa Valley.
