Victory comes to the Hard-Working....

Hello Everyone!

I'm writing to day to announce that I am officially sitting! I sit a little on the sideways, but I can sit up very fast now.

At first, I had to put my bum real high in the sky and then force myself to sit....actually I'm trying to stand...but then I end up sitting.

And for everyone's information, I can stand up by pulling myself up in my cot. I think I'm making my Amma VERY nervous...she's always hanging around near me to ensure I don't fall anywhere.....hehehe

Eshvarhen's First Cough

Dear Eshvarhen,

You're six months old today. Congratulations, baby! You've come a long way for your tiny self.

You've been having a terrible cought for the past three weeks, and Appa and I've taken you to the doctor three times already. Each time the doctor tells us that you're having just a cough, and there's no phlegm in your chect- which is a HUGE relief.

The doctor told us that you're having a sorethroat due to virus- must be coming from all the times you lick the edge of the carpet in our hall.

I just thought I'd log this down since this is the first cough attack of your life=). I guess I should tell you to stop licking the carpet, but if that's how you're sharpening your sense of exploration, who am I to stop you......I just hope it tastes good...

Hugs always,
Amma

Playing the " Enga Eshvarhen" game

I like this game.....Amma gingerly puts me on her knees, faces me and coos, "Enga Eshvarhen???" and looks everywhere for me....!

"Amma, I'm right here in front of you! Where are you looking for me? Here, you see, I'm touching your face to show you where I am......"

And then Amma "finds" me and says, "Ei, Eshvarhen.....neenge inge thaan irrukenggela???"

I LIKE this game, Amma!

Don't walk away from Me!

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.....Amma don't put me down and walk away.....

I'll cry....I'm crying.....Amma...Amma.....wait ( dragging myself really fast towards the direction in which Amma disappeared in)

Ahh....there you are Amma , I think to myself as Amma carries me .....whew!....I thought you were leaving me and going away somewhere...

Eshvarhen is happy now that you're carrying me Amma....I love being carried....hehehe=)

Bum in the Air

Hello Annai,

I have an interesting entry today. Amma told me that I'm trying to crawl, and I'm working real hard at it by putting my bum HIGH UP in the air and trying to crawl.......*sigh*....here comes more hard work!

Annai, Amma said you tried to do the same thing by putting your bum in the air too......(giving you a high five, Annai!)---and a big Ehsvarhen-hug!

The Lion's Roar

Hi son,

It's Appa again, and I figured it would be nice to write in your blog again.

It's been 5 1/2 months since my last entry, so I'd just like to log here that at 5 1/2 months, you're dragging yourself very quickly around the house, and pulling down the table cloth from the coffee table in our living room. You're 7.5kg and you're 68cm long.

You're also very fond of sucking your index finger and middle finger, whenever you don't have anything within your grasp to stuff into your mouth. What joy do you babies find in that, I wonder?

If it's any consolation, you're behaving exactly the way your brother behaved at your age, pulling the table cloth, pretending to cough so we will pick you up immediately, wailing really loudly when the maid tries to put you to sleep. Sometimes I wonder, if it's just something all babies know how to do, just like how you learn to drag yourself, or if it's genetics. Because if it is, I'm pretty sure they are from your Amma ( and secretly, I think she's proud that she was naughty too when she was a baby)........

So I guess I just have to see how mischievious your brother is now, to understand how to cope with you when you turn two.

But you know what, I just can't wait.

The Big Lion,
Appa

P/S - the one thing you're doing differently, at the expense of my sleep, is waking up at 6.30 a.m. every morning ( or earlier) regardless of what time you sleep at night. It gets pretty annoying during the weekends, son........
