7 months

My baby is seven months today! She was surrounded by her cousins, parents and aunts from her dad's side. Nethra also chatted with her ajja and ammama today. They were so pleased to see looking her all happy and cheerful and playful. My baby is growing fast and becoming smarter by the day. Love you Nethra.

Fluttering in my tummy

Nearly couple of hours from now, it will be a year since I first felt Nethra move inside my tummy. Nana and I were back home late from a friend's house warming party. I told nana that I could feel something but he didn't pay much attention to it. I also was not quite sure since I had been imagining some movement for a while.

But as I lay in the bed with my hand on my tummy I felt a slight fluttering like a butterfly was tickling me. I waited a little longer and felt it again and then knew for sure that I was not imagining it and my little baby was moving and I could feel her!

That was probably one of the most beautiful things I ever felt. I felt my little baby move inside me close to two o'clock in the morning on May 20, 2012.

Nowadays and a year later, my baby flutters like a butterfly every time she sits or lies down!

Amma's surgery

Today Nethra's amma was taken for surgery to remove the gall bladder. Nethra had atha babysit till nana dropped amma and got home. She slept really well till almost 9. Then Nana was super efficient in oiling her, giving her a bath, giving inga, playing, putting her too sleep on her bed. She again was with atha till amma got back home.

Nethra realised amma was home and not putting her to sleep and troubled Nana a little bit crying. She kept saying amma, amma, amma when she was crying. Nana have amma to holds Nethra just for that magic touch till she fell asleep!

The best baby anyone could ask for.

Mum and baby unwell

Nethra's been having a blocked nose for a couple of days and has been struggling to sleep.  She slept for three hours on my layup this morning after bath.

I realized on the afternoon that I had a headache  and that has now become a sore throat.

Hopping tomorrow is a better day

Shaving of hair

On May 4th, Nethra's head was shaved at Salon 37 in hounslow. The initial cut was done by Deepak mama.
Nethra didn't cry at all and was very interested in the electric shaver instead. She was the best baby ever. Amma was a bit sad that Nethra was losing her hair but nana was excited to see her like that!

We went for lunch after that to Ahaa... Dosa.

Out in the sun

We decided to take a walk in the park today to enjoy the rarely seen sun. After a round, Nethra was put in the swing and she completely enjoyed it!

We also went to the health clinic today and Nethra and height and weight was checked. She is 9.21 kilos and 67 cms tall!

Twice a day

Today is the second day nethra's been eating two meals. I nerd to start thinking of how to vary the meals, so that they are yummy and not boring!
