Neil is 22 months old now. He has already taken a big vacation – to Alaska, no less! – in June and then been on a long weekend trip to San Francisco. He does really well during travel (wonder where that bug came from!!). He loved the cruise we took to Alaska and behaved much better than we had hoped. We took a helicopter ride in Juneau and he truly enjoyed that! We thought he would be terrified but he surprised us!

He’s started talking a riot now – he says whole sentences and interlaces English and Kannada. He says cute stuff like “Come elli” and “go alli” and “Kodu me” which we find very adorable (which parent doesn’t!). But the best part is we can communicate with him like he’s a little adult! Its amazing. He’s also grown extremely close to his cousin, Esha. He seems to adore her – which makes me feel ever so strongly about having another child and a sibling for him.
