I missed a month in the middle .. oh well .. here's an attempt to get back on track. :) She is 5 months old now and has changed tremendously over the last 2 months! She is such a smiley baby - every morning my last words to her before I head out to work is - Mommy is going to miss you baby! And I really do! With every passing day, I feel so blessed to have the opportunity to experience motherhood. The morning smiles, the curiosity, the wide eyes, the bonding - oh how I love it all!
What's been happening in Esha world - well she has been sleeping better with just one nightly feed. She does wake up looking for her paci a few times but since she is tightly swaddled, mommy has to oblige. She is still in the family bed - mommy aims at getting her into the crib by 6 mos. (ha! Good luck, right?). She seems to be teething - since drool and biting are a common occurrence. Tummy time is a lot more enjoyable. She can turn from tummy to back but prefers to scream for help instead of doing it herself. (Lazy!!) Her curiosity is just so fascinating. She is constantly looking around to absorb everything in her surroundings. Colors, faces, smells, people, sounds .. everything. Swaddle helps her go down easy but Mama fears the swaddle weaning.
Esha also had lots and lots of family time in the last 2 months. First Kum Mau visited at the end of Nov, then Daada - Daadi flew in early Dec., Mamoma left early Dec., houston trip with Jay fua-rusha bua, ruchik chaacha and anjali chaachi & badi bua followed by abhi bua and saurabh fua's visit. Phew! All that interaction definitely helped Esha grow ten fold! She definitely is a social bee and loves the company and the attention! She also loves to babble. She is going to be a talker for sure. Cutie!! Can't wait! She definitely missed all the family when they left - but is totally enjoying day time with Daadi! Daadi wants to take her back with her in her purse. Let's see her get past Daddy first!!
Her face is still a 100% Daddy look alike but there have been times she has been suggested to look like Daada. No Mommy in there yet! Sigh! Maybe eyes .. who knows! :)
Round up:
Food - still a 100% mama's milk and fattening up well with it! ;)
Toys - Balls, rattles, anything with music, teether
Gadgets - none really
Best times of the day - Morning time, evening massage, evening bath, looking in the mirror
Sounds - screams, screeches ,ayyyee (like a gunda), akhaa.
And now a pic of how funny this munchkin's expressions can be:
