Freedom...from house arrest

One of the most challenging things in having a new baby is being constrained on where you can go. For the first month, Monica and baby were basically stuck in the house 24x7, alternating between breastfeeding and sleeping. We rarely took him out except for a few doctor appointments.

Randomly, Roshan's first official outing was to Costco after the 3-week doctor's appointment. He had the luxury of traveling in his own shopping cart. We knocked him out with food ahead of time and he slept through the whole visit. We decided to get a little more aggressive and show Roshan a little bit of San Francisco.

Ever since, we have gone out every weekend to a new part of the city. We started with brunch in the Marina (safely exposing him to white upper class), but moved quickly to sunbathing in Baker Beach, playing poker in Pacific Heights, enjoying a picnic in Dolores Park, and drinking bloody mary's at the Ramp. At this point, Roshan is a seasoned SF veteran.

We'll continue to milk the limited time he is young and naive to not recognize all of these strange environments. So for a limited time, the Chandras have returned to a normal social calendar...we are open for business!
