Where have the years gone? He started Kindergarten. He is learning to read. He can beat me at Wii Mario. He wants Pokemon and Bakugan instead of Diego. He is growing and leaving me behind, this is a recap of the years gone by. The new header is a picture I clicked this past week. That pic is going to be printed and brought to the photography class. When I uploaded it, it took my breath away. (Most of my friends on Fb thought the same)
He turns 2 He also becomes an older bhaiya. He has his last single birthday party(The boys birthday’s are a week apart. I am doing combined parties as long as I can)
He turns 1. Plus a bonus birth story.
Click on the link below to watch a picture montage I made back in 07. It’s long because its from birth to 3. It has my mom, my inlaws, my sisters, everyone except me I think. I just watched it again and am smiling at all the memories. He looks like a baby doll in some of the earlier ones. You know what jumped out at me. Looking at the picture of the girls and Neil. It seemed so imcomplete. I knew I was going to have a 4th even back then. I am so happy we had Samar and he completed my family.–>completely unrelated to Neil but I had to write it down
What a sweet collection … mind blowing !
And you know what the one pic of you and the kids …. you look gorgeous !!!
Me: Hmm which one? The one in the montage? Thats my sisters. I dont have any pictures of me in that montage. I was too fat and too conscious to take pictures back then. I remember cringing and hitting delete each time I saw a pic of myself.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BIG BOY !
happy birthday to Neil…here’s wishing him a lifetime of happiness!!!
Happy b’day Neil. Too bad I didn’t get to meet you but I know from your mom that you are an amazing kid. And if you need any info on pokemon or bakugan I have a resident expert to help you just a phone call away
Me: I seriously need a lesson in bakugan. I just dont understand that silly toy at all.
Happy birthday Neil! Have a blast! I have no idea what this Bakugan is.. need to do some googling as I’m hearing it everywhere.
Me: Its some silly toy that is a ball and when plopped onto its magnetic card bounces open and become something else. I dont get it at all.
Happy birthday to Neil!! That pic is so beautiful.
Me: Thanks
That header pic absolutely beautiful !Am gonna come to you for my babies portraits lady
Went through Neil’s birth story ..painful, yet no complications..keeping fingers crossed mine goes much like that!
Watched the picture montage more than once! Woooow…
I think I identified your sis and your mom too, there is clear similarity, no?
Me: My 2nd sis Sonia(who has a blog but doesnt update that frequently) says Avasha looks like. She is the one in the B&W foto. Then my 3rd and youngest sister wears glasses. My mom is in a pink saree and Neil is wearing a kurta.
That boy of yours is a stunner , the header says it all. Happy Birthday Neil.
Me: Thanks SR.
Best wishes to the kid.
They do grow fast don’t they?
Me: They do

happy birthday neil, have a great time…
the header pic is beautiful.
we watched home alone2 last evening, and today my 7yrold says “it must be nice to have so many brothers!” when i read your last sentence, i don’t know why but my son’s remark came to mind
Me: Its is fun to have so many siblings but I guess the grass is always greener on the other side. My kids want to be only children at times
you should put the header pic in thsi post too.. coz in future when u change the header, you/readers would still like to see what pic u are talking about.
Me:ooh I should do that. Good idea Tara
all birthdays make to sit and ponder over how time flies.. isn’t it?
Happy Birthday Arnav.. both the names are so sweet.. Arnav and Neil.. he uses a combination of both is it?
Hope you having a nice time today with them..
God Bless

Sigh, these babies grow up so quickly, don’t they?
Happy Birthday Neil. Hope you have a great year ahead!
Mum you’ve done an awesome job with your kids
. Be proud.
LOL, I’m reading through your posts from Year 1 to Year 5. Love the idea of Neil’s first birthday presents – that’s the best you can give him! And he’s SUCH a doll, oh my goodness.
When are you coming to India again? Gotta meet up!
Me: You move here and we’ll meet.
D-oh! I forgot to wish him a very belated Happy Birthday!
OK .. I think its your sister …. but the resemblance is uncanny
All 3 look adorable 
I wish I could see a pic of you 5 years back … may be a family portrait taken at that time.
Bring Lacanian psychoanalysis to the US and I’ll go
