Happy 10 months!

 Sweetie, you've now entered your double digits...unbelievable!

This post is a few days late, as we were out on your birthday weekend, visiting the Anand family. What a treat to be with them on your monthly birthday! We all had a great time. Ride was a bit tough for you but once you were there, it was a whole lot of fun! Lots of playtime and love from everyone! So much so that, when it was time to come back, you wouldn't leave Ammi! :)

Overall, this was an amazing month! It is hard to believe all that you can do now. There have been things that have left our eyes and moth wide open! Check it out for your self! :)

You don't crawl, you RUN on your fours! Mostly, you want to stand now and you can easily stand for a long duration and pick books or toys and then sit down and get back up! It's fascinating! You are found standing in your crib, waiting, when you wake up from naps and bedtime! It's your favorite position! :)

You tried you hand at the piano, which now K plays with his toes! Yes, tell me about it, he's a clown! :) You didn't just try your hand at it, it felt like you really enjoyed it! You were on the piano for good 20 minutes, playing around with the keys! It was very impressive! :)

You seem to understand what we say to you, especially "No" and you have been responding in your ba ba's and ga ga's. Not just that, you repeat "bye" or "bye-bye", when it's said to you and you're in the mood! :)

You can move by pushing the music table or the walker! It's amazing, to see you can swiftly move them and walk without falling down! You're doing great and this is not all...there's more!

You can climb too! You climb on the lego box to reach to the toy shelves and have been climbing on our bed too!

You have 2 lower teeth and one on the upper jaw that is already out and the other one, just about to sprout!

Kabir and you have been enjoying lots of play time together. You love to watch what he builds with his legos and as I say, de-construct what he builds! It doesn't make him very happy, but he is starting to be smart about it and puts his creations at some height you can't reach them, if he doesn't want them broken.

 You love to play with legos, cars, trucks and balls and have also been enjoying some alone time with books. Reading before bedtime, is something we all love! Kabir picks the books and I read them to you both. Kabir longs for this and doesn't want to ever miss the story time with you! :)

This past month, you clapped and celebrated a few birthdays! We were super excited! :)

Great month, love!

Happy Birthday! :) Looking forward to what's next!

Love you a whole lot!

Mama

Happy 10 months!

K, you have completed your first double digit month today!! So awesome yet so unbelievable! Watching you grow is such a treat! Each new thing you do or learn makes us just so excited.

Like this one night, when I was feeding you dinner and you didn't want to eat, I said to you, "Alright K, I'm going to go, "bye bye" " and you repeated "bye bye" back! Dad and I looked at each other with our eyes wide open...totally stunned! You took us by surprise and we couldn't stop gushing!

To believe our ears, I said it again and so did you! :)

You are becoming more and more active. Always up and about and so full of energy. You have been fighting sleep and wanting to play more.

You love going under your music table from one end and coming out from the other.

You can now raise your feet and push your body forward or upward to grab an object which is a bit out of your reach! I was so impressed to see you do it!

You love to stand and are very careful with sitting! 

You are now starting to stand on your own; without any support, for a few seconds!

You can sit in your swing by yourself!

You have been giving a lot of high-fives! They start early morning when we first meet and continue throughout the day! Love 'em! :)

This month saw an improvement in eating and sleeping habits! So glad about this change! There were 3 nights where you slept through and most of the others you only woke up once!

You visited our friends and were part of the gatherings at home!

We had Aman Mami visit us over a weekend. With her came your first toy car!

You got some play time with Mami.

It was a fun weekend. At the end of it we were all smiles!

We recently took you to the play area in the mall where you explored the space and also rode the train for the first time!

You were excited to be in the moving train, standing up and looking outside.

You also spent some time at Barnes and Nobles, where you mostly were on the mission to empty the book racks and spread the books on the floor!

This is a usual at home! The day starts with bringing all the toys down and it is repeated a few times during the course of the day.

In your room, toys take a back seat and you love playing with your books!

You have always been interested in our laptops, so now you have your own!

 You've been snacking on your own in the evenings.

 This month you started eating cookies!

Earlier this month we celebrated your first lohri!

You enjoy seeing your reflection in the mirror!

You are one social child who loves giving smiles to everyone! You make friends where ever you go!

Have an awesome 11th month Sweets! Love you to the extreme!

Happy Birthday!

Mama
