Playtime again, and always!

So we've been doing this often (forgive your old man for memory loss, if I have talked about this in my earlier posts) - going to find a bit of social life, atleast for little Ms. Cookie. Went to the Magic Planet at Mirdif City Center yesterday. Turned out to be quite a fun-filled evening. Specially after last week's Fun City visit where there were no kids to be seen.

Cookie, you are clingy these days and at first you cried when we put you down to play there. But afterwards, you were just fine and quickly made friends with bigger kids - girls who wanted to touch you, play with you and lift you. It was plenty of fun.

Later we ate lots in the food court and returned home!

House Hunt Ho!

Kids, as you know we are looking for a new place to call home - for now, a place of our own in the Dubai and maybe a different country altogether if destiny so permits!

For the ownwed home hunt, we have seen quite of lot of places, and now are shortlisting apartments in Motor City in Dubai. Motor City is a fun community for Children - surrounded with lawns and pools and a lot of kids around to play with.

Probably, we will move there before the year ends and Micky you can arrive into our own cozy home.

The iPad is here!

Guess I'm gonna start each post now with "Kids, ...." just like the beginning of each episode in How I met Your Mother - the TV show.

So kids, to add to all the fun that we have with gadgets, Daddy has purchased the latest iPad2. It has been supposedly bought to be played by Cookie, but looks like Daddy and Mommy can't keep their hands off it.

Daddy downloaded a bunch of baby playthings and we even brought it in the car, with its separately purchased seat hangar. More fun anyone? (Okay that's a bit duh)

Back up!

A lot of tears, sweat and all of that later, Mommy's back in action (she even squirted a bit on to me to show off - eeks!). It is much peaceful that way. Though we don't know if we are eating out of Micky's quota of food, but have got to balance both ways. Hope that dear Micky, you will turn out just fine.

Mother Dairy shuts down.

Today was a horrible day. No more milky from mommy. I purchased some four different brand of formula and we're trying those on you. You don't want any of those. So a hard day for me & Mommy. Can't see you crying like this but have to wean you off soon.

The first time away.

Not such a long trip, but certainly felt that way. Haven't been away from the family in a long time.

It was nice to meet all the people back home, but bad to run away after just one day in Jaipur. Malibu deal wasn't finished fully - just the initial bits.

Life's gains & losses.

Now I have got to start addressing this blog to the two of you. Just yesterday we confirmed that Cookie is going to get a younger sibling. Well, we all know I won't sustain a new blog, so I will do the other thing and make this blog for the two of you.

But today's been the day of good and bad news. In the evening, we got the news of Jiyamma passing away - Great Grandmother from Daddy's side is no more. She left for the house of god, finishing a long life of over 90 years.

I will travel to Jaipur to meet the family for support for one day, and then go to Gurgaon to sell our house in Malibu Towne. The deal's been done, and we'll get the first instalment of cash by this weekend.

Mommy will take care of the two of you, and cookie, you will take care of Mommy. Okay?

Welcome Micky!

Hello new one! We've just confirmed that you have arrived in Mommy's tummy. It is great news. We don't know if you are a boy or a girl, but Micky is a name good enough for both. We will decide your nice outdoor name when we find out your gender when you are 5 months old inside.

Cookie, welcome your younger sibling to the blog. We had suspected it for a while, with all the symptoms being there. And today it got confirmed that he or she's here in Mommy's tummy.

Love you - kisses!
Daddy and Mommy.
