10 months

My baby is ten months today!

In this one month outre so, she has learnt how to drag herself on the floor, to attempting to crawl, to holding on to the sofa or people and pulling herself up, to rolling over, to using her elbow to sit up, to eating chapati and bread and rice & daal.

I love you so much Nethra.

Clean up time!

Nethra has learnt how to put her toys back in to the basket. It is very cute as she puts all the toys in her mouth before dropping it into the basket! Nana taught her this special trick.

Rough day

Nethra struggled a bit today. It wasn't one of her better days.

She was trying to stand up using nanama's chair as support and lost balance. Her chin hit the metal rod at the bottom of the chair. Poor baby cried so much. Nanama had tried to get to her in time but just missed stopping Nethra from getting hurt.

Nethra then took nearly 90 mins to eat lunch and didn't quite finish that too. she kept making her crying sounds while eating.

I gave her a bath and changed her and left her with nanama to put her to sleep. Suddenly we heard her call us and when we went running, end found that Nethra was crying a she was throwing up. Poor child kept clinging on to nana and me while she continued and we were washing her up. I then took her to the room and changed her clothes. Nanama said that Nethra was very uneasy and distracted and had ended crawling on to nanama and sleeping on her before she started feeling sick.

Once changed and given water, nethra started to close her eyes and sleep so I took her to the room. As I was putting her back to sleep, she threw up again. Nana and I cleaned her up, and this time Nethra finally slept.

My poor baby woke up and was in good spirits especially after dinner that she fussed about to eat. She played for so long  that it was past 9 pm before she slept.

Next steps - crawling

Nethra had been attempting to crawl for a while. She started moving in reverse. Then slowly attempted to sit up. Simultaneously, she tried to drag herself on her tummy to move and then on reaching her goal, she would sit up.

Today Nethra crawled and can move quite a bit forward. She did try to move yesterday but they were few and probably not as well done as today (wednesday, august 7th)

She goes for things like her nappy bag, paper, plastic. Not for toys or anything worthwhile! I'm so proud of my little champion who tried so hard and never gave up, despite tiring herself out our falling and hitting her head.

Love you my mouse.
