- flip flop flip flop is wht you did everyday and even in your sleep, Strange how a baby can occupy more than half the bed! Dad found this really funny and would keep watching you move when you sleep ... with so much pride in his eyes...
- you started to shake your head in a 'yes yes' manner with raised eyebrows and would repeat after us too when we did it :) we loved to see you do tht! the phbbzzzz got stronger than ever and it never failed to bhigao our faces.
- you continued your rapid weight gain spree and that started to concern us a wee little bit, but then all the baby fat also made you look super cute... so we left it to time, but yeah, high time I start developing your tastes to food ... and from the way you have your milk, am sure you will be a nice neat baby when it comes to eating food (please please do be...)
- why o why did u shift ur sleep time to a deadly 2am from the so convenient 11pm? daddy has a tough time to walk you around (coz tht's how u sleep) when he is tired from a 12 hr work schedule, though he is half dorwsy, he still cant shut his eyes until u sleep...so please, can u be kind to us again please...
- you could start holding the milk bottle urself, so tht means dudu time became another playtime for u.
- babababababa is wht u say all day, you became even more expressive with a lot of squeals of delight, flailing ur hands and legs in anger, rubbing ur eyes when u r sleepy..
- You knew how to express your love and gratitude by kissing me!!!(yes, he can do that! he just keeps his mouth open and touches my cheeks with his lips and moves back, that is his way of expressing his love. He does that when I make him laugh a lot, do his fav things or pick him after a long long time.) i dont know how! and no guesses for how awesome i feel when you do that, coz it is the purest form of expression in the world!
- there was this one day when i was feeling really really low ... daddy had u in one arm and he was giving me a 'everything's gonna be alright' hug with the other arm. You were busy chewing on his shoulder until you saw my long drawn face. you looked at me for a couple of seconds and bent over towards my cheeks and gave me a kiss. I was ofcourse surprised and gave a weak smile. You continued looking at me and when my smile died down, you bent over and kissed me again, then again and the last one was the most wonderful one with you putting your hands around me and givng me one more! When I finally gave a big smile, you went back to chewing dad's shoulder again.. ah, cant describe in words how elevated i felt, how peaceful I felt to be a lucky recipient of such innocent and pure love. Can motherhood get any better? Love you lots baby, love you lots....

7th month ...
Dear dear Vikrant,
6th month ... another one with just points...
Dear Vikrant,
- flip and flip again is what you achieved right on the first day of the 6th month:)
- we could see 2 cute whites on your pink pink gums...that is your first sign of your teeth
- you love love love dad! and you took abt 5 days to know he is your dad...you would shout out and jump towards him even in a crowd and tht made him sooooooooo happy!
- you can push yourself fwd by your toes and sometimes by knees...the crawl has to wait until you are able to lift your head and tummy off the ground together, and we are in no hurry ... u look cute moving just your bum and pushing urself fwd ... :D
- pull hair, scratch faces, pinch our cheeks and ears
- hair on your head moved from 'here and there' to some hair, we could atleast see a black thin cover on your head... you always were a cute looking baby and now you're even more!!!
- s mama and mami came down to see you and how you howled and wailed at them...hmmm, not so good huh, am still waiting for your stranger anxiety to go. you have been going for evening walks every single day since you were 2 months old, y did you develop this stranger anxiety?
- you love all things metallic! the stereo, small vessels, metallic cover cell phones attract you more than all those fisher-price toys
- when you could barely sit last month all you wanted to do was sit even when you cant and this month all you wanted to do was stand. alright alright i know you can get yourself to stand on your own if you have support at your feet and hands but you cant sustain it yet dear...dont hurt your knees and ankles so much plz.... some more time and you will be running all over the place!
5th month and a couple more ..
ok so 3 months update coming together....i guess i have finally been able to get my wits together about bringing up a kid ... sometimes i was so lost, i thought i was being more kiddish than my baby! and since i had been jotting points, I guess i will update just that...making sentences will have to wait for some more time now....
5th month
lifted head and legs up and moved fwd (huh you said, well, i am as stumped as u are.... hmmpphh, wish i had elaborated it a little more :( )
turning on your tummy and turning again and again and again became a fav activity .. which kept us on our toes...no more sleeping on cots, you were mostly on the floor.
squeals of laughter which were sooooo soooo soooooo cute ...
banging your mouth on our faces
mall trip, car rides (what was this again??)
scratches on tummy
dunno why i never mentioned this, you love to look at things flying randomly, like your grandma's saree or the sofa back cover
you love the colour red! anything red and flying is fabulous for you! so the gir giri we bought outside the ganesh mandir was the best toy you could have (and cheap at Rs.6 too) .. those old time toys somehow work wonders! Also a little red crab is your fav and is a very good friend of yours (ur first one!)...we carry him everywhere and crabbie never fails to make you jump with joy..
this was the month when you left Mumbai and came down to Bangalore... the transition was smooth with just about expected levels of crankiness and the fear of the new... but you did so well and within a couple of weeks, you were pretty comfortabel with the setting and people here... but we do miss Mumbai and mumbai grandparents, dont we ...
