Time goes by quick when you are busy

I know, I know. It has been a month. But what can I say, time goes by too quickly when you have so much to accomplish in so little a time, when you have so much to see and explore and so little time. As you can imagine I have been very busy - tasting new foods, trying to get on my knees, trying to put my feet in my mouth, trying to make new sounds, and growing bigger. I have been eating some new stuff - kanji, carrots, potatoes, rice, dal - all of which I seem to like. Amma has also been trying to give me some fruit juices - apple, pomogranate, and papaya. I am not yet a big fan of these. Maybe over some time. But it is nice to have a change from my milk routine, although I still like to have my morning and night milk.

I have been building my strength doing push ups so that I can eventually lift my upper body and go on my knees and start crawling. Yes! oh, how I am eager to do that. There are so many things I want to be able to explore on my own. You see I do not want to depend on any grown up to lift me up to explore, you never know when they will put you down. Although I am pretty good at telling them with my body and voice that I want to be lifted and shown around :-) I have also been busy mouthing whatever comes within my zone of grasping. Mom and dad think that I have gotten pretty good at grasping and also stronger. Ofcourse what to they expect, especially when I have been practicing grasping day in and out for the last whole month! I can now grasp a very tiny part of a big thing and drag it towards me, push it, do whatever I want to do with it. It is so much fun. I have also started using my feet to grasp things, pull them towards me, hold things etc. Two more tools in addition to my hands.

I also now have a baby cousin sister, my aunt's daughter who is just 5 days old. My elder cousin sister says that we both cry a lot :-) Well, that is how we know to communicate. I was a bit unwell for a couple of days with a mild cold, but nothing to worry about. Alright, time to go and continue with "getting on my knees" game.
