Happy 5 months!

Vir, today you have completed 5 months! This past month was very exciting...lots of firsts and great progress overall!

You have been turning sides. You can go from your tummy to your side and then to your back. During naps and sleep time, I lay you down on your belly and almost always find you turned and in a different spot in your crib!

You've can now sit in your little chair and have started on solids! You've been eating rice cereal and today started on your first veggies; the sweet potato! You loved it! :) So, while earlier you ate cereal for breakfast, lunch and dinner, starting today your lunch portion will be a veggie! :)

Outside of food, you've been putting anything and everything in your mouth.

Ingrid, who was relieving me a few nights a week, after you were born had left to attend another child. I heard from her a week back. She came back for a few nights and we started your sleep training. Now you're off pacifier (you hardly missed it), sleeping by yourself without being rocked and sleeping through the night! IT'S GREAT!! :) If you ask me, this is a HUGE milestone!

We make sure you eat plenty during the day to go through the night without food. Mariela and I are always on top of this.

Since last two days, you've been taking two naps instead of three. You're making some changes to your schedule and this is all good!

When you are lying down you try to hold our hands and sit up and after that you push yourself to stand! It's great! :) Watch this video...and that's Ingrid!

Dadu and Dadi are visiting and have been enjoying their time with you and Kabir. Dadu loves to be with you all the time! :)

We've had some good days lately and we try to go out for a walk whenever we can. You love outdoors!

Kabir and you are an adorable pair. He loves to watch you when I give you a bath and enjoys his time holding you and playing with you. It's a lot of fun seeing you both grow together!

You boys are lucky to have a fun dad! He always makes weekends fun! :) Love the trio! :)

Kabir has been very creative with legos; building airplanes, trains, parking lots, office buildings, zoo, ships and what not! Sometimes you lend him a helping hand too! ;)

You are a very happy and easy going child. I love your smiles and giggles! :)

But when you cry, boy are you loud! You sure don't get that from me! :)

Books are part of our daily routine. Sometimes we start with them at breakfast! :)

Today, is also mother's day and Daddy surprised me by bringing you and K to our room early morning! It made my day right there! :)

Love, love, love cuddling you both and early morning cuddles are the best! Love you both and blessed you have you both in my life!

Do I look well rested! ;) It's all thanks to you! :)

Vir, I sure will miss the months that have gone but at the same time I can't wait to see what's next!

Happy Birthday, Love! You're awesome! Wish you lots of love, laughter and good health!

Mama

Happy 5 Months!!

Kabir, you turned 5 months yesterday! :) I have enjoyed each one of these days and months with you.

Every time I think about it, it's hard to believe so much time has passed!

Last month was a very active month for you. A lot of "firsts"! :)

Month 5 started with Dadaji and Dadima still with us in the States and is ending with you in India! Isn't that cool?!? :)

While we were back in the US, you started to converse more and for longer duration. This is you right after our visit to your dermatologist, Dr. Kim.

You also started to laugh. O your laughs are contagious and so adorable!!

You have started to pull things. You can now pull the objects on your butterfly toy.

You can also pull my nose

and my glasses when I come close to you to give you a kiss.

We got some stuff delivered from Amazon, so Dad thought why not make you sit up high! He always has fun ideas! Sometimes they are a little too "fun" and I have to say "No". :)

You are sitting well with support but without support you tumble!

 

You are now actually starting to use your activity gym ! You are now so active in it!

 

During Dadima and Dadaji's stay this month, you took them to the Botanical Garden!

K, you love greens. You are always looking up at the trees when we go outside for our walks. You were checking out the trees in the botanical garden too!

You and Dadaji resting after all the walking we did!

Together we all also went to Dad's office one evening!

Before we took off for India, Elly's daughter Stephanie came to see you. She spent the day with you playing!

The flight to India was uneventful. Long for sure, but you did great! You were no trouble at all. You didn't even cry! We were so proud and fellow passengers impressed!

I hope it is the same way going back!

In India, you have been re-united with Nani Ma! Smile just comes naturally when you see her! :)

And you have finally met your fun Rohit Mamu!

Dadaji and Dadima are also very happy to have you here!

It's really hot in Delhi, so you've been staying indoors mostly. We have taken you out some when the weather was better and you have enjoyed it so far!

I hope you have a pleasant rest of the stay here!

Sweetie, I can't say enough how AWESOME you are! I love you LOTS!

Spending time with you is turning to be more and more fun! Yesterday, you turned from your tummy to your back...and not just once but three times!! :) Looking forward to more exciting times and milestones this month!

Happy Birthday, Love!

Mama
