So Ani, despite being not even 4 months old, not running, jumping, walking, crawling, or even sitting up has already amassed many pairs of shoes...
Her first pair was a gift from Palden, Elizabeth's significant other. They are a little big, but the strings can be tightened, which is good. This pair is also quite warm - a necessary quality in Northern India.
This mouse pair (closely related to rats, might we add), was a gift from Aunt Linda, also a bit too big, but very soft and moldable to her round feet.
These pink shoes were a gift from Dr. Verbitsky, a physician Grandma Ura works with. Apparently infant shoes are a cross cultural phenomenom as she is Russian. These tighten with velcro, which is helpful since Ani's feet are yet again, too small.
Chiemi's favorite pair - black Mary Jane S. Weitzman's, are also, tragically, too big. These were a gift from Grandma Ura - a small homage paid to her daughter.
So thank you guys for all you do, all your support, and all the many pairs of shoes to feed our child's growing shoe complex.
ever
