This and that

Over the past week the boy has added 'this' and 'that' to his vocabulary. His great indian headshake has become vigorous. Insists on opening the feeding bottle, drinking it on his own and unlike earlier he tilts it all the way up, and closes it. Occasionally he throws it on the floor and points to it with a 'thisss', wanting it back so that he can throw it again. 

On his birthday we had attempted to get him to wear the Orao Bearoo Child Sunglass. He had immediately pulled them off. Last Saturday he wore them. Thrilled initially, he later pulled them off.

He has started crawling although he tends to drag his right leg. In the mornings he gets hungry earlier than before. Gone are the days of eating oats. It was so easy to prepare. And with the boy insisting on being in the kitchen, it requires a balancing act with boy in one hand, taking out the Dosa batter from the refrigerator, making it and then putting him down and feeding him with butter/ghee. By the time A the Nanny comes in around 930, he is almost done with breakfast.


The boy has also started picking up corn flakes from a bowl and eating on his own. For the small pieces, he discards it as many a time he ends up biting his fingers. Green colored vegetables are his favorite, he prefers them to eating rice. He is in a phase of being curious about everything around him.
