Happy First Birthday Isha

Hello little nut. You turned 1 today. We went to get Ramen & Ice cream in Waldo for your birthday. You are such a bundle of joy every day. You usually wake up between 6-7am and come climbing over me in bed and trying to turn my radio on or I put you on the floor and you get into my drawer and pull everything out.

You love doing anything your sisters do. Playing play-do, swinging, climbing on their small table and sitting right the middle. Sometimes you scratch Afsana when you play with her and she gets mad at you! She says, "Isha scratched me on purpose and I'm never going to play with her again!" But a few minutes later she is ready to run around the house with you.

You are going up and down the stairs now and you love to yell when you get to the top and have me come up and get you. But when I get to the top you start crawling as fast as you can to get away from me. You love food, especially pancakes and yogurt. You like to feed yourself and then when you are done you throw everything on the floor or feed it to Raja.

I love your big smile and how all your teeth show when you smile. It's fun to push you on the swing too and see you laugh and have so much fun. You are a great blessing to our family and I love you so much.


Daddy. 

Happy 1st birthday Isha!

Dearest sweet Isha,

Happy birthday!  Today is the first day of spring and it was 87 degrees in KC!  We celebrated 2 days ago with family and friends.  Papa came and catered Indian food, bought you balloons, and I got you the traditional Andre's cake.  It was a super fun celebration!  You enjoyed samosa, paneer, lamb, dal and rice.  You loved your cake!  You have been taking steps for 1 month but last few days you have been taking around 20 steps!

Today we celebrated with Betty Rae's ice cream and you obviously loved it.

You are a very happy and smiley girl.  You love coloring, pushing the stroller, and swinging.  You eat and sleep well.  You have like 6-7 teeth.  You are physically very strong!  You climb and grab everything.  You love to climb onto the middle of Didi's table and sit there.  You also like playing with baby dolls and legos.  You like swinging even on the tire swing.

You say dada, mama, hi, bye, raja, and done.  Ruby Mausi says you say much more but because of your Didiya I don't hear those words.

You like a good adrenaline rush and are a dare devil.

You give great cuddles and kisses.

We are all obsessed with you and you are adorable!  Your eyes have a special spark and with that dimple you are hard to resist!

I pray a lifetime of blessings on you.  A hedge of protection over your heart, soul, and body.  And that you may really know and love your God and Redeemer.

Love you so much Ladoo Pie,

Mummy
