Crawl...Walk...Run... (but wiggle first)

Rohan has started sitting up on his own - a fact I discovered only by letting him sit between my legs - then moving my legs without thinking about it, and realizing that he didn't topple over and start screaming.






He likes to be on his belly more than Deven - loves pushing up into 'baby cobra' as the photo here shows.





I also include this photo of him in the doorway-bouncer - do you remember when Deven was using the same bouncer? Now Deven's the (mostly) nice big brother. Like any good 2 year old, however, Deven has his moments of sweetness, followed by wanting to squash Rohan: Today, it was all about the 'chashma' (glasses). In this case, we ahve a pair of infant sunglasses - we put them on Rohan, and Deven almost broke them in his angsty attempts to take them off and remind us that they were DEVEN's glasses. Hmm.

Other photos are from Yogesh, Daadi, & Deven's Memorial Day trip to visit Auntie Kathleen in Seattle. She lives in a wonderful home overlooking Mount Rainier, and all the Sharmas had a blast.





Deven spent time playing in the water on the beach...







...'helping' Auntie Kathleen in her garden (really just watching the water run, but what else do toddlers do to have fun?), and - my favorite - shopping at the local thrift store (where Daadi happily picked up this lovely long cashmere sweater-coat for only $7!)
