5 months
We dressed up for Dussera! For the first time in 10 months I wore a sari - it's a very forgiving outfit! * The dress D is wearing is the one mom brought from India - it's obviously too big for her. But hey she looks cute!
It has been hectic! It has been fun! It has been harrowing! It has been painful! There are days I manage well and there are days I burn the food and almost the kitchen. D is a handful if not three...she is ever so curious about everything around her. She loves outdoors and hates coming home. She loves being with people, seeing people and even "talking" to them. She is a joy!
She screams, she cries, she laughs, she smiles. She rolls (although she seems to have forgotten this week that she can), she grabs things (and of course puts them in her mouth), she enjoys being read to, she is recognising her toys even if they are partially hidden and rolls over and tries everything to get to it (and this is not fun while you are trying to change her diaper), being carried, being kissed and cuddled. She enjoys listening to instrumental music be it the sitar or the piano. Believes sleeping is a waste of time and screams bloody murder before every nap! At least she sleeps most nights (although not through it).
But she is the cutest baby in the whole wide world - no bias at all! :P
* (luckily the blouse still fit - but thanks to Indian tailors they make two three seams so as you might gain weight you can let loose the blouse)
