Milestone: July 2008

Every 16th is a birthday of sorts for Siddarth and Nikhil. The baby of the family completes eight months; his big bro, two years and seven months. Their parents hardly need an excuse; any pretext would do when it comes to celebrating the little ones.

Siddarth in contemplation, presumably, about things he would do on the morning outing.

Nikhil, fastened in his car-seat, always ready for an outing.

Siddarth spent a while at the San Ramon Borders, playing with books – you know, the ones on wheels that can be read as well as driven.Got bored in some 20 minutes; came out of the book store to play around the small fountain.Racing his newly acquired car book, round and round the fountain, our friend tumbled, with his face smack on the cobbled floor. He wound up with a minor cut in his lower lip.

Nikhil was away shpping with his mom and grandma at the nearby Whole Foods store.

Incidentally, we – my wife and I – are mid-way through our US visit; came here on May 16.
