Shahana is going to be one year old, come September!

The countdown has officially begun. Although we have been anticipating the day eagerly, the 'official start' happened yesterday, when we paid a token advance to book a banquet hall. Little Shahana is on the threshold of entering into her second year.....And just about ready to have her first real birthday.

Wow, time does fly. The memory of my little baby, being handed over in a pink and red bundle, by the nurse, is still fresh in my mind. She was so small and frail. Over the last year, we have seen her grow and evolve from a tiny little infant to a cute & mischeivious baby. No matter what she does around the house, one smile and all is forgiven! Other than marvelling at our little darling and here feats, it has also been a moment of truth for us as parents. Parenting, truly is tough. Especially so on the mother. At times it becomes physically stressful. Kudos to Anshu for sailing through it all with elan.

So now we look forward to the celebrations (ofcourse, pictures to follow) and take a moment to thank the almighty to grant us the privilege of being parents of such an lovely angel.
