Happy 2 months!

Vir, you are 2 months young today! How cool is that?!?



This month started with us celebrating your first Lohri!



Nani added a special touch by singing a song, I had always heard her sing while growing up. :)


As the month progressed, you became more alert. You have now been staying up longer between naps. It seems like you are already on a three naps a day schedule, of which the afternoon nap seems to be the longest.



You have been good about tummy time since the beginning and are now doing more of it without any compaints.


You have been spending some time in your swing but 10 mins. at a time is more than you can handle.



You continue to dislike the car seat, so last time I took you for your doctor's appointment, I gave you the pacifier and that helped. We have been putting you in the car seat at home, just to get you used to it. You don't like being tied up and unfortunately you have to be in this seat for 2 years. I know already these two years are going to be long and painful. :(


Your did wonderful during your 2 month check up. You are tracking well overall. Still low on the percentile trend but doing well otherwise. You gained a couple of pounds from your birth weight and also grew in height.

You have now been making coo-ing sounds. They get us all excited and we all imitate them. Kabir has the most fun imitating and gets so excited to hear them from you!

The love between you two continues to grow. Kabir is a very loving and caring big brother. He is always checking on you and gives you the sweetest kisses. He can't wait for you to grow up so you both can play together!









Nani continues to love and pamper you!






Look how Kabir jumps into her lap, the first chance he gets! So cute! :)


Story time is part of our every day routine. Not only do I tell you a story or two before your bed time at night, we also read books during the day and that's our shared time with Kabir.



Some of the titles that you have enjoyed so far are:
  • The Very Hungry Caterpillar - This always makes you smile! :)
  • Good Night Moon
  • Ten Little Ladybugs
  • Eight Silly Monkeys
  • Giraffes can't dance
  • Dinosaur's day
  • Cool Cars
  • Tremendous Tractors and
  • Tough Trucks
Apart from the above books, my favorite book for you is Little You. Here are the lines from it just for you...they are just so apt!

Little you
little wonder
Little wish
gentle thunder
You are mighty
you are small
You are ours
after all
Little star 
with little wings
Let's all dance
let's all sing
You are life
and breath adored
You are us 
and so much more
Little ember
with growing light
Feel our love 
as we hold you tight
You are the birth of everything new
You are perfect
You are you!

Sweetie, you are the sweetest little thing, bringing joy to us each and every day! You are much loved by us all!

Stay happy and healthy, my love! Happy Birthday! :)

I look forward to what's coming next! :)

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
