Uma - The Human Bridge

Uma and I spent some time reading today.  Uma would pick out a book and bring it to me and I would read it to her.  After a while she showed me how she makes a "bridge".

She then challenged me to crawl under her!  Needless to say I didn't make it but it was fun trying.

I'm reminded of this blog post on UmaNation where she was learning push-ups at a young age!  Check it out.

Tonight we are all heading to Manny's Steak House for dinner.  I understand they have steaks as big as your head and lots of other scrumptious items to eat.  Check them out here and be sure to view the "Meat Cart" under About Manny's!

Trick or Treat Matey!

For Halloween yesterday, Uma was a Pirate!





















Very cute. I hope she got lots of booty from the neighbors. She is all set with a costume to wear on International Talk Like A Pirate Day next September 19th.

I didn't hear how the candy gathering adventure went, but I did hear the following:

A little pirate is trick or treatin' on Halloween. He is dressed as a pirate. At one house, a friendly man asks him, "Where are your buccaneers?" The little boy responds, "On either side o' me 'buccan' head!"

Ahhh the life of a Pirate.

Eat It Whole

Uma seems to like her food whole at times. Not that she eats the food in one whole bite, but she would prefer you not cut it up for her.



Here is a photo of her eating half of a bagel with cream cheese spread over the part you can't see.



Bite out of the bagel, cream cheese on the lips.



Uma and Chris. No snack items to view here (they are already gone), but darn cute dimples!



Plums are sooooo good. And you've got to eat it whole!



Suresh and Uma talking about the size of the pear she wants to eat and why it would be a good idea of to cut it up. Suresh wants to cut the pear up and Uma does not want to.



Uma wins! Don't cut it up, eat it whole!

Happy Sunday

Cathy made it to Minneapolis yesterday with no problems. She is excited to be there with everyone. Sach's mom, Nirmal, arrived the day before Cathy so she is enjoying seeing her third grandchild as well.

Sach sent a new photo of Anika. She is so beautiful.



Cathy reports that Uma is talking up a storm and in fact I got three phone calls this morning and got to speak with Uma each time. Uma knows all about cell phones and loves to push the buttons. Now she didn't actually call me herself any of those times but she was happy to talk each time. In fact, on the last call I heard her say,

"Daddy. I'm talking on the phone."

She said that to Sach when he entered the room where she and Cathy were. I'm sure Sach will hear that same thing for many years to come.

Hope your Sunday was good.

Uma Goes To Preschool
