Now that Parin is allowed to leave the home, he took full advantage of it! He attended his first wedding! Tina’s college roommate, Tina Phillips got married and Parin attend the rehearsal dinner on April 24th and the wedding two days later.

This month, there was a lot going on in Parin’s life. He took his first “walk” . . . well, stroller ride. He helped his parents host his first Poker Night. Soon after, he went on his first “playdate” with Karina who was born 2.5 weeks after he was. He did this on the same day that he received his first set of immunization shots! Parin also got a chance to meet all of Tina’s co-workers. He was finally able to put a face with all the voices he heard during his 9 months in Tina’s tummy. Parin also attended Seema’s Sweet Sixteen party. What a busy baby!

This month was extra special for Tina as well as she celebrated her first Mother’s Day with Parin. After Mother’s Day, Parin moved in and stayed with his grandparents for about 4 weeks! Don’t worry, Tina and Raj were around as well.

The final week in Parin’s first month! He had his first oil massage (compliments of his grandmother!) and on April 23rd he hit his one month milestone. According to Hindu custom, Parin wasn’t allowed to leave the home until then (except for doctor appointments, of course). Where did Parin go on April 23rd? First to the Hindu Malibu Temple…and then to grandma’s house, of course!

This week, Parin celebrated his first Rongali Bihu (Assamese harvest festival and new year). Since he hadn’t hit his one month milestone yet, he couldn’t attend the bihu festivities so we celebrated at home. Parin also gets his first bath this week as well as even more visitors!

Even more visitors stopped by to visit Parin this week. Raj’s brother, Chandresh (Kaka), also stayed with us for a week which was a big help. Big news – Parin SMILES! No, it wasn’t gas. We have proof in the pictures!
