Dhammal!

June 28, 2013.

Nana picked up Nethra from the room in the morning and carried her out to the sofa in the living room where she was deposited. Nethra played for a bit, knocked down her pillow and bent over to get out and fell on her head with a resounding thud. I was brushing my teeth when I heard it. Luckily nana lifted her and she soon stopped crying. When knew this was just the beginning of many more to come.

Attempt to crawl

June 25th

Nethra has been attempting to crawl over the last couple of days. She has been doing push ups and lifting her bum in the air and trying to stay like that or attempt to move. It has been very adorable and Nana and I were lucky enough to see it.

I prefer to sleep on my....

June 22

Stomach, back or side. Nethra is exploring that nowadays. As I write this, she is asleep on her left side facing away from me showing me her back :)

I found her on her stomach a couple of nights ago and it scared the living daylights out of me as I was so worried about how she got that way and how long she has been like that. She was however in deep sleep.

She is changing so much so quickly. We spoke to ajja, ammama, manna ajja, cindy aunty and chitti! everyone was so thrilled to see her.she has been a good girl

Nethra on ajja's 60th birthday

Today Ajja turned 60 and Nethra skyped with him for a long time., he was so thrilled to see her! He sang for her, made funny noises and entertained her. Nethra in turn laughed, gurgled and spoke to him.

She also spoke to ammama, chitti and rajan thatha.

Happy birthday Ajja! hope the roller coaster was fun.

Ears are pierced

June 8th

Nethra was super brave and amazingly good (as always) when we took her to get her ears pierced. The guy in the shop in Kingsbury marked where he was going to do it and then asked me to hold her head tight against my chest. When he did the first ear, she screamed so loudly. I've never heard her scream that way before. He then quickly did the second one as Nethra cried.
She clung onto me for dear life for nearly a minute till nana took over and slowly stopped crying. She was as good as gold in a couple of minutes. Harsha and Sandhya were so surprised and happy that she stopped crying so soon. The four of us were close to tears when Nethra started crying.

My baby the best and strongest.

First tooth

I can see a small tooth peeking out! Finally! I'm excited because Nethra can soon start chewing some foods and not eat puree all the time.

She started chewing already on a biscuit that I bought for her yesterday when we both went to the high street. She made a right mess of it but seemed to enjoy it. I can't wait for her to start trying new things.
