Finished haircut
Even though I took pictures of us cutting his hair, I'll refrain from posting them to prevent any accusations of child cruelty by way of 3 adults and 1 tweenager having no haircutting skills between them. Suffice to say we managed to get it down to a single little tail:
Fortunately, this little guy has the face to pull it off:
That adorable smile helps.

Mundan
The big day of the Mundan arrived. At first the power was out and the ceremony started with just the light coming in from the skylights. It started with a priest leading a series of mantras with the little guy and his parents. He didn't have to sit there the whole time but I was impressed how quiet and attentive he was throughout most of it.
Fortunately, the lights came on early in the ceremony:
I loved his outfit--obviously he rocked it:
Paul, as the mother's brother, had the honor of being the first one to cut off the first five locks of his hair:
And after those symbolic locks of hair of his past (and any possible birth defects) were clipped, he was then given his first bites of non-baby food:
Sigh--goodbye babyhood!

Who is this cutie?
It's our nephew, Madhu!
We arrived for his Mundan--his first haircut at 11 months that signifies moving from the past and on to the future. It's significant when the mother's brother clips the first locks off so of course, we're in.
Here are the two cute cousins together:
Enjoy that long hair--tomorrow is the big day!

And Away We Go!
Off to see our nephew and mark his 11 months in a special Indian ceremony. Haven't seen him since he was this small:
Apparently he is walking and creating all kinds of chaos/fun. Can't wait to see him!

SoCal Recap: Boy crazy
I confess I go a little boy crazy for these cuties whenever I make it out to SoCal. The best is when this one is up for some pix in the morning before he goes off to start his day.
Only topped by some dual selfies, which is awesome because the morning is when I look my puffy and bloated best:
Then there are these studs (the little one loves tickling the bigger one):
This one is just as cute eating his pancake at the famed Knowlwood restaurant:
Nom, nom, nom.
The best? Sweet smooches for this boy crazy visitor!
That little hand of his--so cute!
