{ Baby Bonanza! }

This post is going to be just a lot of pictures...a lot. 

Because I love babies.

And I really love Indian babies :)

And the last month has been Baby Bonanza! 

Okay, not realllly. 

Only 2 babies in Laxmi-ji's family were born but it was crazy around our house without her and her family was going crazy with two new babies! 

So, it was crazy :) 

Laxmi-ji's little girl was born on November 23 in the wee morning hours...

we got to see her about a week later.

And, she got her name about a week ago...

Ritika.

She's beautiful and I'm determined to be her favorite Auntie :) I just LOVE this little girl! The moment I first held her, I felt connected to her. She has a sweet, gentle little spirit. She hardly cries. She's perfect.

Pictures say it all...

Look at her little tikka/bindi on her forehead - so adorable! I love Indian babies :)

Favorite girls :)

Sarah-ji

And of course we had a little party...because Laxmi-ji knows how much we love to party! Rasgulla, samosa with chutney, and orange fanta :)

And we brought a cake! Before the little girl was named and before she was born, the running joke was her name is "Katie-Liz-Sarah," after the 3 interns and her favorite "aunties." Well, we got a "Happy Katie-Liz-Sarah!" cake for the party to celebrate our new little girl :)

Geeta is our favorite little girl! She taught Sarah how to play a little game!

And Laxmi fed us our cake...as she usually does :)

Favorite.

My FAVORITE family :) Laxmi and her husband are so cute...they have a love marriage. hehe

Laxmi's beautiful little home!

Another night, after desperately missing baby girl, I went to visit her with Anita-ji and we stopped by Laxmi's brother's home to see their new little baby boy!

He was born the same day - he's adorable. His name is Nikel :)

Laxmi's brother and sister-in-law! Their cute little family - so young!

He's adorable! He's getting so big!

Baby girl :)

We bought her this little bed...Laxmi asked me to but I gave it as a gift from her favorite Auntie. It was adorable! 

Favorite kidlets!

Anita-ji and baby girl! 

We always have fun at Laxmi-ji's!

Like mother, like daughter - oh Geeta! She's such a little twerp! Look how ADORABLE she is in that Kurta and salwars :) Traditional Indian outfit!

And Laxmi always has to get us some food...even after begging her not to. Bread Pokora - yum!

Favorite!

I LOVE Laxmi's smile!

Blowing kisses goodbye :)

Laxmi, Geeta, Himanshu, and little Ritika are my favorite...they're like my own family. I love them love them love them. I'm going to miss them like crazy!!!
