Avika at Ten Months

This little monkey has been home ten months!

Not a lot of new things to report.  We are enjoying summer, trying to stay cool and entertained.  The heat and the sun don't seem to affect Avika, which doesn't surprise me one bit.  New Delhi is probably not the hottest place on the planet, but it sure felt that way when we were there, so she manages the heat very well.  She is great at entertaining herself getting into trouble every single second of every day.  I'd love to say that she is so cute that all of her mischief just makes us laugh, but that's not the case!  It's especially hard since some recent health issues have left me really fatigued and it's hard to keep up with her.  I remind myself daily that three-year-olds grow into four-year-olds and that this is (hopefully!) a phase.  This is her I-am-not-amused face when mommy is disciplining her...

 

Showing off her dress!  At least she let's me dress her in whatever I like.  We are working on her dressing/undressing on her own and potty training.  It is slow going but she really loves learning new things. 



Playing in the sprinkler in the front yard.  The kids filled up the winter sleds to make mini splash pools.  Avika loves to get wet!

 

 Jumping on the trampoline- a favorite!  Avika loves being outside at all times.  Coming inside always results in a major fit- fortunately we have had beautiful weather lately and the kids have been playing outside a lot.

 

She is growing so fast!  Love this beautiful smile!
