Kamran Turns 1!

It's hard to believe, but the day arrived and has now passed... Kamran is 1!
Weight: ~16lbs
Height: 28.5 inches

Our little baby is officially a toddler now! And I'm not sure how I feel about this...

We celebrated Kam's first birthday with our families. It was a nice gathering of the grandparents and Kamran's aunts/uncles. Kamran was showered with so much attention I'm not sure he knew what do it with it all! He must have been so overstimulated from the day because he talked to himself for over an hour in his crib before he finally fell asleep. I guess he was recapping the day ;-)


The morning started out something similar to that of Christmas for Kamran (only after he escaped Mommy & Daddy from all the snuggles and kisses!); and he had another round of "Christmas" later that evening before he went to bed.

After a morning nap, we kicked the celebration in high gear at Burke Lake. While it was a very HOT day, the weather fortunately held out on us. Kam really enjoyed playing in the open space and later on the carousel and playground. (Burke Lake also happens to be the same place where we were engaged. We realized later that we were just yards away from the same exact spot where Mehul proposed. We never imagined we would have returned years later to celebrate our son's first birthday!)


Some photos of the day and a touching slideshow our photographer put together for us. It was a perfect day and something Mehul and I will always remember (even if Kamran doesn't ;-)

Kamran's First Birthday slideshow

A little story behind Kamran's birthday cake. It was inspired by a ball that he is obsessed with at daycare.


It's the first thing he grabs for when he arrives in the morning and he does not like to share it with anyone else! We're still working on the sharing thing but it really is too cute to see how happy he gets. We searched all over to find the same exact ball as one of his birthday gifts but could only find something close to it.










Thanks everyone for all the birthday wishes and thinking of Kamran on his special day!
