8mths 3wks: Am loving it....crawling is fun, fun, fun!

Hellos...

Am sure you all must b thinking as to why I am writing so often all of a sudden, this month :) There is one more breaking news to share. I started crawling just 3 days back..yippeee!

On July 27th, mumma finished talking to my naniba and dada in India, in the morning and started to read one of my fav. picture books 'Merry Christmas, Peter Rabbit' to me. She opened the last page which has a nice pop-up christmas tree and put the book a little away from me to see my reaction. And since I get really excited and want to touch it whenever I see it, I took 3 leaps towards the book to touch it. Mumma didnt believe I crawled and was super excited, so she put the book further away. I crawled furthermore and she screamed in excitement "Anay betu to crawl karto thayi gayo!!" (Anay started crawling..yay).

That evening, when daddy, kaka, ba and dada wanted to see me crawling again, they put a cell phone in front of me and I sportily crawled from one end of the room till the other for them. Since then I ve been crawling all around and have also figured out that things that are away are also within my reach now. I start crawling once I see something and decide to get it. Mumma has taken few videos too, which you can enjoy.

I also have learnt to wave good-bye with my right hand. I keep doing that even while eating on my high chair. Mumm..mumm, ba ba, da da are my fav. words nowadays while eating and otherwise. Mumma says I ve started to eat a lot better than before. I eat fruits, yoghurt, daal, veggies and rice n oatmeal cereal everyday. I tasted sevaiya-kheer last week (an Indian dessert) and it was so delicious that I kept asking for more! Daddy and mumma agree that their love for sweets has rubbed onto me too :) I also like to eat salted n sweet cookies.

Thats about it for now, more later. Stay tuned for more excitement.

Cheers,
Anay.
