Completed six months

16th Sept 2006
This naughty boy completed six months and days went like a zoom.
Sometimes, I think just few days back he was such a delicate baby when I was scared of holding while he was in hospital. I used to wait for hours when he is going to open his eyes.

Then I started holding him up in both hands with utmost care for his neck and he used to open his eyes give me a smile.

Then I started keeping him on one hand and his head on my shoulder again extra precaution for his neck and he started grasping my fingers and holding dada jee shirt pockets.

He gained strength started moving his head in one direction to another and no more support on his neck and very much fascinated of lights and moving fans. I remember there was a power cut and he was getting cranky b'coz of dark and candle light too didn't bring that relief. I carried him to nearby Kempforte mall where he was so excited seeing vehicle lamps and neon lights on the streets and malls. Watching moving fans was his favourite pastime.

I was so relaxed when he started sitting on my lap though with support atleast one of my hand was freed up to do multi tasking. His cooh caah sound used to bring smile on everyones face. Reliance unlimited phone was more getting used to have my mom in delhi listening his pota making noise in bangalore.

I was so excited when he started rolling first one roll then two-three rolls and then it also let me realize, sleepless nights are not yet over as you never know when he is going to roll over from the bed itself and dhum!!

Now he can sit like a frog, roll back and tries to drag but not able to move forward, makes lot of noise and poor dad/mom trying to understand his language. If he sleeps in east-west I find him North-South in the morning. He responds when one calls his name. He has started eating solid (paste) food. Following our rich tradition he too has sweettooth. When he is excited he will throw his hand and legs with a big smile without tooth.

He is scared when pressure cooker whistles, when crowd is clapping in some events, gets up in the dark and fire alarm goes on.
He is delighted when someone lifts him up, papa taking him for a evening ride on his favourite stroller and mom giving him massage makes him feel so relaxed and he is so happy splashing water in his baby bath tub. He enjoys watching himself in mirror wondering how did this duplicate came?

Six months went like a lightining speed but every moments can be cherished through out the life.
