Champaign, IL!!

Kavi spent his Thanksgiving and his Anaprashan (Rice Feeding Ceremony) in Champaign, IL! His SuperFoy, FowaJud, Samira-didi, Saji-dada, and Savita-didi all drove down from Minnesota to hang out with us! (My sister, brother-in-law, and their kids)

Part of the Ceremony is the Rice Feeding - it symbolizes his first solid food:



And then the other part of the ceremony is where he chooses objects that represents his destiny:

He picked a flashlight and a pencil, perhaps showing others the way with his writings (after all, his name does mean "poet"), but really they were two long objects for him to bang around with, so he's trying to tell us that he's a drummer at heart! haha

He also had another milestone on the trip - he started pulling himself up into stand position! So now he loves to climb everything.

Thanks to his Saji-Dada, he had some Indian clothes that could sort of fit him. The ones he has are still too big. Kavi's still very much on the small side. But, the kid is strong. Really strong! And a spaz!

That was a lot of work for the week. Very tired.
