ONE year old!!!

I turned one year old on the 30th of Dec.

In the morning, I woke up and quickly had a bath and wore my new clothes after breakfast. Here is a picture.

In the morning, with Aba 

By noon, everyone from Mumbai arrived at our place. There was Ba, Tushar Kaka, Anu Maushi, Aaji, Aajoba and also Vikas Aajoba and Sadhna Aaji. I played with them all day. In the afternoon, daddy went somewhere with Anu maushi and Tushar Kaka (they did not take me ...bad) and came back only by 5.30. By that time we all were dressed to leave.
Apparently, my parents had booked a hotel for a birthday party and daddy was there in the afternoon to make the decorations (cool). Before we left, they did 'aarti' for me with all those diyas and gave me the presents that they all had got for me.

The party was at Hotel Poonam at Deccan. There were about 115 guests. There was also a magic show and two funny cartoons who were dancing around all the time. Some of my friends (Priyavrat, Abha) and even Maitrayee Tai got scared of the cartoons but I'm the brave boy as I always was, so didnt give a damn. All my friends from the building (except Aaditi Tai & her parents, they were away on a trip) attended the party. There were also daddy's friends and mommy's friends and their kids.

The food was good too. There were many options like South Indian, Punjabi, Chaat, Chinese and even Ice Cream!! I got a lot of presents from everyone :)

The party ended by 10 and we returned home by 11. Doctormama (Babu Dada) could not attend the party but made it a point to call exactly at 10.46 PM to wish me (thats when I was born....he knows, he's the first person I have seen from the outer world).

Here are some snaps from the party.

Daddy writes:
The party went well. Mihir got a little overwhelmed as he seldom gets to see so many people in one place and then everyone wanted to meet him :) He cried for some time so the cake cutting part had to be hurried up a bit. He later settled down and then was happy to be on his own.
