A hectic wedding and a good break

Just finised attending my sis-in-law's wedding. We stayed at a hotel for four days and there was a lot of travel involved but surprisingly S took it all in stride. My main worry was her eating her solids- firstly it would have to be the packaged stuff, secondly we would need to fit it in somehow between all the functions and lastly- there would be no bouncer and entertainment for her which is so essential. Further S had a bad cold and that really reduces her appetite. But somehow we managed. The hotel was helpful in giving us a high chair even in our hotel room, my mom was very hekpful during the wedding functions- she held S while i fed her and S was also obliging. We even managed to squeeze in a day long visit to temples and a relatives place after the wedding day where we had to feed S in a hotel/ in a temple room etc. WE are planning a 3 week trip to the US and I guess this would be good preparation for that.
S really enjoyed the wedding functions- the hubby put mehendi on her hands and feet while she was asleep! During the wedding S was busy rearranging the furniture in the hall- she kept pushign the chairs all around the place. She was wearing a pata-kasa given to her by her Ajji from Papa's side. The reception was more of chair pushing alongwith playing with her secnd cousins- A who is 3 years old and Sh who is 21/2. Sh kept giving her stuff to play with/eat and S was quite happy to be playing with another kid and was following her around quite a bit. All teh relatives would keep calling S to come to them, but she started this new habit of puting her head down and frowning when new people call her- very cute. If you leave her alone for some time then she takes to new people.
Anwyay now with the wedding functions over we are enjoying a five days break at my mom's place. S has taken to the home cooked food well. ITs much colder here than back home so S is bundled into sweater, shoes, pants all the time. But she is enjoying herself and keeps wandering around the much bigger hall poking her nose into every nook and cranny! As for me, I am gettting a good break.
Cheers and wishes for a Great New Year
