Suhana, the Matchmaker

Suhana is in South Africa with her grandparents on a whirlwind 3 week trip. She will be there until the coming Monday and has been having such an amazing time that it's hard to catch her to talk on the phone or even Skype. She is one popular kid there. She is being spoiled by all her grandma's, Oshana Mama, Shaleen Mama and JoJo Mama and her Chachu's (Avikars' cousins) and of course great grandparents, Nani Ma, Nanu and Aji Ma. What more can a girl ask for?

I am sure there will be more stories that I write about her experiences there but this one is for the books, so I'm sharing even before I have a photo to include. The whole family was in Durban at the Sibaya Resort for the weekend. Tashlin (Avikar's cousin) was there as well and he wanted to propose to his girlfriend Leanne. But he wanted it to be very special...and he wanted Suhana to be part of it too. So overlooking the ocean, on the steps of the resort, with Suhana on his knee (while he is on bended knee) he asked Leanne to marry him! Of course she said "Yes!" Since, the family is so far away and its a close knit family, it was very special for Suhana to share this moment with them. Clearly, she will be lots of good luck for them, what 2 year old isn't?  So congratulations Tashlin and Leanne! We are so happy for you!

On another note, this time that Suhana has been away, Avikar and I have been able to spend time with Jiana. What a novel idea? Well, for those who have 2 kids know that the older one still gets all the attention because they are vocal. So, these last few weeks I have been able to love on Jiana and just hang out. She is so incredibly special, I can start crying thinking about it. Her entrance into the world was a little harried but she is a strong and happy baby. She smiles A LOT (she smiles with her beautiful hazel eyes) and even cracks up at this age. I feel that she already has a sense of the world. An old soul... She knows when I leave the room and will make grunting noises to get me back, she will smile at just about anything. The best part, is that I can make her laugh and when she does her whole face lights up. As a mom I can't ask for anything more... I love her!!!!!!
