Sachi has such terrific curls, that it has become a quandary as to whether or not i should cut them.
In all practicality, they are in her field of vision and who wants to see a big black mass as you are trying to reach for your toys...or better yet, gain your footing so you don't fall on your face! But the curls are so cute, and each one has such a distinct personality. Right now, she has one that goes at almost perpendicular to her forehead. I love that curl.
I know the right thing to do is cut them, or pin them back--but sometimes I don't. Agghhh, am I a bad mom or just obsessed with these cute curls.
This is Sachi with her cousin lovingly called "Khushu" by his mom and dad.
They are at a garba and Sachi is pretty sure Khushu has nothing on her. She's got rhythm and a feisty spirit. She is mocking him with a tough smirk. He responds like a gentle dove.
They are both 1/2 gujarati, and have a fighting chance at some fancy footwork.
Bring it!
Sachi sits pensive wondering what gifts and challenges our new house in Oakland may bring. Will I make new friends? Will they make me sleep in my own room against my will? How will I know how to find mommy in the new house?
Many have been wondering what the crisis is doing for us babies. It certainly has not taken the shirt off my back or reduced the rolls on my belly. I still get all my mommy's attention, mom's milk, yummy homemade baby food, and trips to the park.
One day when I learn about money, I am guessing this stuff might start to get me down. But right now my wealth is measured by how much love and food I get. So, call me rich!!
My friend Liz did a terrific photo shoot with us a few weeks ago. She captured Sachi in so many precious ways--so many angles and expressions. She also captured how much we LOVE Sachi, and each other. 
Sachi will make music of anything including sugar packets at restaurants to the light clink of my credit cards tapped together. She loves music, and now she owns a *REAL* pair of drums thanks to Reva's good friend Caroline. Her little hand, although dwarfed by these drums, is getting a decent sound out of them. Her technique's not bad either!
I urge all parents to have real instruments as toys. It is so much more fun for parents to play with this stuff then brightly colored plastic noisemakers.
Sachi seemed to start her own sect of Jainism at the Jain Mandir last week focused on baby worship. This particular sect of Jainism is most attractive to little girls who are enthralled by Sachi's babbling. Sometimes she speaks with such gusto...perhaps the girls thought she could be channeling messages from the divine.
Over the 5 days at the temple last week, children would actually come looking for Sachi each day. It was fabulous.
