7th month ...

Dear dear Vikrant,

• 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....
