Walk the walk

In less than a month, Deven has gone from stumbling a few steps to being a confident walker. Crawling is pretty much a thing of the past (unless he is trying to get his hands on some tiny object from underneath the couch he can then try to swallow). Here's a quick video below of him on a quick tour of the kitchen...next stop running!

Closing out the year in pictures

It's been so long since we've posted, I no longer know if this really constitutes a blog anymore.  But, in the interest of making up for lost time, here are a *ton* of photos from 2010 that we have been too lazy to upload.  Given the quantities here, definitely only for true Team Dholakia fans, and/or those with small children who need to mesmerize them in front of the computer with slideshows of pictures of other kids (no judgment...we've been there).

Highlights (dating back to September) include:

• The last days of summer, complete with an inflatable pool in our yard
• Lots of Halloween festivities, including many pictures of Sonia's costume which she wore on four separate occasions 
• Something like time lapse photography where Deven just gets bigger and bigger (and teeth magically appear!)
• Sonia's 4th birthday, complete with Pump It Up party, Hello Kitty cake, and enough pizza for an army
• Thanksgiving up at Grandma & Grandpa's house (alas, too few photos taken)
• Professional family photos we finally motivated to get
• And lots and lots of family and fun at Christmas, complete with homemade cookies for Santa and some very happy (albeit terribly spoiled) kids

As always, here's hoping we do better on our 2011 resolution to post more often!
