1 Year Month Two and Three

I am little late this time (almost two months) as I have taken-up a work- from- home job and now my little AB and my work keep me fully occupied all day long. About my son he has grown up drastically in past two months. My cute little quiet spectator now expresses almost everything. Unwillingness to eat - by closing his eye and mouth tight, pointing at things he wants, fake crying with hands on his eyes, and smiling when we scold him to pretend that every thing is fine....
He can now open a bottle cover (in fact it keeps him busy for hours), he has learnt putting rings in the ring tower, he enjoys riding on his rider and loves to play with push and pull toys. He has also learnt walking backwards and don't know why but loves to crawl  with his eyes shut.
He hasn't learnt potty training as yet but we have drastically reduced on his diaper usage. He sleeps now without diaper at night and doesn't pee on the bed. Every morning all i have to do is make sure that he is out of bed as soon as he opens his eyes and take him to the bathroom.

His other small and cute gestures make us go on a laughing spree. All we are left wondering is where he learns all this. HE IS JUST SOOOOOO CUTE.

One Year and One Month

My Little AB BABY is an Active Baby now He walks, bends while walking to pick up things, gets up I mean in standing position without support (18 July), rides his toy jeep on his own, tries to rotate the steering of it, runs away from me when i tell him to run, gets down from the bed at a drop of a hat, babbles a lot and has become little stubborn too. Actually he has learnt that if he will scream, shout or cry out loud things will get in his favour so that is the case you see.

One thing I have realized these days is that all of sudden... I mean since he has turned one year old I feel he has become more sensible and understand things well now.. he gives me a good ear too if I tell him or try to teach him something.

Last to last week Abeer got a Viral infection in which he was down with High Fever and Big Blister like rash around his Rectum... He was on oral antibiotics for the rash and Crocin and later Flexon for Fever... The fever for the first time reached upto 103degree which was quite scary for me and my husband.

AS we both love him Immensely...... meet you next month with more updates

MY Baby Turns ONE YEAR OLD

On 16th my little bundle of joy completed his first year... We threw a big party and celebrated it with pomp and show at Fresc Co a restaurant in CP New Delhi.

But my little wonder was not keeping well from the last saturday from his birthday... he was down with fever for 2 days and docter only kept him on crocin. His chest was creating a gurgling sound which i simply ignored thinking it to be some congestion in chest and started giving him bricnyl which we gave him last time he had congestion.

But all in vain he was quite and super low on his D Day... Very unlike my active and always smiling baby. So we took him to the Moolchand Emergency after his birthday party and doctor asked us to get him admitted in the ICU in some other hospital as they didn't have any bed...

We rushed to Max Hospital at Saket and there after a X ray and some check up from a pediatrician he was sent home around 3 in the night. The cause of all this was actually a Mucus formation in his tonsils... he was on heavy antibiotics and other medicines for a whole week. Today I am posting my blog after that one Bad week of my kid is over. The abnormalities that i will keep check for in future were he was not having water and food and was solely on my feed...

He now walks without support for little longer distances, gets down from the bed, and yesss smiles for the camera... as we say Smile he goes all cheese with a big fake Smile...

Another recent development is that as he has been on medicines for past week he is scared of having them and the moment we get the medicine bottle in front of him he starts running or shutting door if he is in a room... we just laugh at his stupid yet smart acts...

After one full year of motherhood and after seeing my kid grow from a tiny miny to a one who walks holding my hand... I can say that 'Being a Mother is the Best gift FROM GOD'

10 & 11 months - Almost a year

My bundle of joy is now 11 months old... and still doesn't walk independently... on 14th of May he first time walked holding my hand but after that day the lazy bum hangs with the support of my hand and is interested on crawling than walking however has been running if in a walker. He sat crossed legged on his own for the first time on the same day that is 14th of May...

On 19th of May he climbed my mom's house low height satee on his own. I feel he will climb up the steps of a stairs to but i have not tried it as yet as we live at top floor and don't have any stairs around that are safe for him to practice the skill. he now tries to imitate what we say... his recent words r dakun ( don't know wht it means) bakum bakum (again no idea ) daddy, papa, mimi and mumma... he has stared refusing for things by nodding his head and saying niiiiii and also points out at things he want. He always responds to my call no matter wht i call him Abeer, AP, Abiii, abuuu and he will say aien and will come to me from wherever he is:)

He knows now when am angry on him and comes to me too close to my face to cheer me up with a peck or a smile:)

Day before yesterday when we were in a market he saw a girl playing with a pink ball... and he just kept looking at the ball wherever it went... we got a clue that he wants it... so we bought him the same ball from the near buy store ( infact two of thm). First time he was so happy to get something... he held that ball in his hands and was not ready to leave it... he held it while we were buying things at shops, in the car close to his heart and also while climbing up the stairs... First time he showed so much of love and affection towards a toy... we simply enjoyed this act of his...

We also bought Abeer his first Mobile a Nokia Dummy it says "Its a Message - I love you "

Thats all for now will meet next in June my baby's birthday month...

The Ninth Month

NINE months in the womb and nine months outside... :)

I remember mentioning in my last month's blog that Abeer doesn't like to drink water but Ninth month came with a bliss... After 3 months of efforts finally Abeer has started drinking water and asks for it by picking up the sipper :)

He still doesn't walk independently but with support... wants to eat food on his own... and shouts back if we scold him...

The other day my husband and I were discussing something and his voice raised, Abeer thought that vikas is shouting at me and he started shouting on vikas with an angry face... I loved that moment his first sign of love and protection towards me :)

I am trying out bottle feeding with him now-a-days as I feel he is quite grownup now to understand things and lets c how things shape up by next month. He claps now when Tv plays his fav song... makes noise by shouting and sometimes speaks garbled sentences on which me and my husband respond with, how interesting and ok thn wht.... :)

Thats it for this month see next month

The Eighth Month

Watching your child grow day by day in-front of your eyes is a different pleasure altogether... and I feel fortunate enough to see it and feel happy every time he does something new..

We got Abeer's head shaved on 12th of this month (12th March 2011) according to Hindu tradition the baby is supposed to get his scalp hair shaved before he turns one year old.

Abeer now stands without support for more than a min or so and crawls in super fast motion... lately he has learned to open chester at our home and has special hidouts like under the dining table, in th kitchen under the slab etc... He now loves to play with water and as its summer already i let him do so by making him bathe in his lil frog swimming-pool.

He has started eating food on his own since he turned 8 months old. Generally kids don't start that early but in Abeer's case i feel he has got teeth quiet early so he now wants to chew and eat everything he gets on his own. I give him apples in a bowl, grapes, chick peas (boiled), boiled pasta etc and he eats them all on his own picking up one by one. He sometimes make a mess also whn he doesn't want to eat... Making him drink water is a huge task for me.. the only thing he is making me struggle for... as he doesn't like to drink water.

I keep his sipper beside me every time i feed him and give it to him in between meals but he seems least interested in drinking it...

he has learnt to make faces now and since yesterday been crawling with his eyes closed and banging his head here and there... i wonder wht thrill he is getting from it :D...

On 16th of March the date he turned 9 months old he walked around the bed with support for the first time :)

That is it for this month see u next month with more updates

that it for this month

The Seventh month

Am bit late this time in updating my blog... and its quite understood why... as I have an active kid around who gives me little time to do my stuff.

Abeer now crawls, sits while crawling, can stand up with support and dares to leave the support and stand for 5 seconds or so and sometimes even moves around in small steps and started pincer grasping uffff.... so much in one month... :D

My last blog was on 19th of Jan and after that the date chart is

22 January - Upper Central Incisor left and then I lost the track and by 28th of January he had 6 teeth 4 upper Incisor and 2 bottom. on the same day he started standing up with the support of the headrest of the bead...

On 31st of January onwards all of a sudden he started crawling properly on knees and started sitting in following two days in between of his crawls.

Since 19th of February he started Clapping... he still sleeps a lot for 5 to 6 hours in the day and whole night... stools still are not in any fixed pattern and got cold and cough for the third time since birth... Bye till next blog

Sixth Month old wonder

A new year has come... and few days back my bundle of happiness turned seven months old... but am here to share his sixth month developments... I started feeding my baby with semi solids and water from 16th of last month ( DECEMBER). I was surprised to see his reaction to food... believe me he is just like his parents when it comes to food... he made no fuss, no tantrums and from day one he was having food full on.... though water is something he still doesn't like but food any type any form he ate everything i have made him eat in last one month :D

I started with Kheer on day one and then suji in milk and with salt... khichri, dal with zeera tempering, cerelac, mashed veggies, chapati sometimes (as he wants to eat whatever his parents are eating) and milk dipped biscuits.

Abeer also cut his first tooth on 28th of December and that too an upper left lateral incisor :D and second tooth appeared on 16th of January 2011 upper right middle incisor... few more are partially visible as if now but are still under a gum layer, 4 upper incisors and one lower and the count is 5 in total... :) He sits now for a longer period of time and still crawls on tummy as well as knees... can say a mixture of both. He started saying ma ma ma ma from 11th of January 2011. Till now these are the developments will see you next month with more updates till then ba bye....
