Mundan!!

Nandini got her mundan done yesterday. I was a bit scared, hoping she would be alright and not make a fuss. She was remarkably calm, and brave when there was a slight scratch. And she looks very very cute in her new avatar. Well, blame mamma's adoring eyes :)

Diwali ecard from Nandini

Recipient: Nanaji and Naniji
Message: Happy Diwali

Dear Nanaji and Naniji,

Wish you a very happy Diwali. I am slightly scared when the kids around me explode the crackers. I cry and hug mamma when I hear the bomb sound. But I am going to Dadu's house and I know I will get a lot of gifts and toys and clothes, so I am going to enjoy my first Diwali. Naniji, please get well soon as I want to play with you.

love
Nandini

Nandini's first letter to "Taiji, Tauji and Agnim bhaiya

POSTED ON 25th JULY, 2006

Dear Taiji, Tauji and Agnim Bhaiya,

Thanks for the beautiful clothes and socks. Now I can flaunt my new American
dresses to everyone, and show off my socks! Mummy is also thanking for her
tshirt, which is very nice.

I have sent rakhi for Agnim bhaiya, please tie it on raksha bandhan. Dont
miss me too much bhaiya, we will meet soon and hopefully I will understand
your English then :)

I am getting naughtier by the day, and troubling mummy all the time. As soon
as she sits in front of the computer, I try to make a lot of noise and ask
her to attend me instead of some stupid client on the net! I am and should
be her sole attention, I make sure she does not forget it. If she does, all
I have to do is cry for a couple of nights and make mummy lose her sleep
completely. Papa can sleep a bit, I grant him that, as he is very busy. So
mummy and I go to another room in the night so that Papa can sleep
peacefully. But sometimes, I get more angry, and then I make Papa also get
up and play with me.

When bua comes, I am at my best behaviour, and I love to play with her. She
falls ill quite often and stays away from me, so now mummy keeps asking her
to take care of herself so that I can play with her more. Bua is going to
Europe and I am sure she will get me some more gifts!!! ;)

I shift around from my bed to nearby areas, and I make all sorts of
sounds..I am learning new things by the day and it is a lot of fun.
Sometimes I fall ill, but I start playing as soon as I get a dose of crocin.

I wish I could see you all, but hopefully that will be soon.

Till then, I will keep posing for my photographs and send them through the
internet to you! :)

bye then,
love
Nandini

First Diwali

Nandini has got 2 beautiful fairy like dresses from her grandparents. She has also got a tshirt-lowers dress, and a couple of toys, and payals(yes, her fourth pair :)) Diwali was fun, she dressed up and everyone adored her, and she tried to climb over all of us to watch the puja and maybe leave her mark (create some eeny weeny mess :)) We kept the puja room closed at all times to ensure she stay away from all the deeyas and the puja-sthal.

She did not get scared of the crackers, as we dint fire any. And she made a lot of noise while watching Don, so I had to take her out of the hall. But I managed to watch most of the movie, so, thanks Dolly!

Tata Tata

A friend had dropped in and I learnt that their 9.5 month old daughter is able to do jai-jai, tata and aao. Though Nandini is still far from the age, but I thought I will start a few words with her. So, we are doing tata with her all the time. Rajbala her maid is doing tata umpteen times during the day, and so am I. Ruchir also says tata when he leaves for office, and Nandini seems to be picking the sound. She is now speaking tata instead of dada, which was her earlier favorite. But I dont think she knows what she is saying and when to say it..

Nandini takes her first steps with support

Nandini got herself to a standing position from sitting by holding the sofa seat. Then, as I kept putting the cellphone further away from her, she took her tiny wobbly steps towards it, all the time holding the sofa seat. It is a marvellous experience, and also a bit scary, as I fear she may fall down and hurt her head. Head bumps are getting very common with her....:(

Nandini likes to stand

Nandini has started standing by taking support since thelast one week. Most of the times, my legs areher support, but if she does not find me, she grabs the sofa sides, centre table, any chairs on which she can lay her hands and lift herself with support. She can also sit down after standing, though she is not completely comfortable with it. She babbles a lot too. dada is her favorite sound

Cuddling up to me

Nandini now cuddles upto me. She can recognize me very well and denote by her actions that she wants me. She can also crawl upto my computer chair and pull my trousers until I lift her up. She is demanding more and more attention, it is tough at times but still a lot of fun.
