Around the world!

SUHANA IS BACK!!! YAY!!!! Can't tell you how nice it is to my baby back from her whirlwind trip to South Africa. She had gone with her grandparents to visit her great-grandparents and family. She had a blast to say the least. She has come back a little taller, funnier and a very well spoken toddler. Her sentence formation skills are amazing and she says some pretty cool things. She spoke quite a bit before she left but now her sentences have pronouns and adjectives. I can't beleive how brilliant she is (if I say so myself). Today she told me "Mom I have my backpack, I'm leaving. Peace out!" (She learned 'Peace out' from her uncle!) We have to be extremely careful in what we say, since she repeats it back. She is also learning her manners and adds 'please' on when she wants something. "Mom, can you please open this?" I can't get over the cuteness. It's a whole new level of adorable when they start talking like us.

Hello parrot!

What you doing Hanu? I'm holding a rabbit.

I like how there is no mention of the human getting hurt or sick!!!!

Her Jojo Grandma (Avikar's aunt) took her to some neat places with animals. And, those who know Suhana, know that she LOVES animals! The majority of her time is spent reading her animal books, playing with toy animals and talking about animals.  Here are other pictures from her trip.

Playing by the ocean!

Everyday she would pick eggplants from Nanima's garden

They took her to Avikar's old high school, and she didn't want to leave!

Yup...she is eating a big piece of meat! Definately Avikar's kid. :)

A big thank you to her grandparents, Dadi and Dada who took her on this great journey, where she got to experience new sights and sounds and spend time with her family. And a thank you to the entire family back home in South Africa who spoiled her so much. :)
