Completed nine months

16th December - I am not going to write about "16th December" Hindi movie but this is the movie of my son Aryan who completed nine months today.



This month holds significant imortance as he has crossed some important milestones of his life. The little angel has started sitting himself without any support.During initial days he used to tumble left, right and sometimes on the back and now he is stable. During day time he sleeps in a separate room away from TV noise.When he wakes up, he cries when no one is around.so we run to find out if there is any problem and then to our surprise we see him sitting and crying and looking at the door helplessly. When he is not sitting one can find him crawling towards the door. He is now intelligent, knows where is the door and this is the way where help will arrive or this is the way he can go outside.
He seems to be fascinated with the door, might be exploring what's inside the room and what's outside? Now I have to be extra careful opening the door as you never know when he is playing just near the entrance. In our house,between the door and floor there is a small gap from where air comes inside so he often goes near the door , lies down and keeps his fingers under the door to feel the cold air. One find day when we were playing in the room I thought let's close the door and I will hide somewhere and see what's his reaction. Brave boy he crawled towards the door and tried hard opening the door. He was successful in opening it slightly but then his head was blocking it. After several attempt he started making noise and expressed his happiness.



Below the chair

Came out of one chair entering the other

Lower rack is my sitting place

After he started banging my laptop, I have started working in a different room on table. When he is in living room and is bored, he starts finding his papa and now he knows where he can find me.He will crawl take turns and will enter study room. His favourite game is crawl below the chair come out of other chair and play under the dining table. I have been teaching him to do "Ta Ta" (bye bye) for last 2 months but without any success. However to my surprise, one fine day he started clapping without any instruction. Now when he is very excited he will clap and will express his happiness.




This is my musical chair

Standing with support of stroller

Movie won't complete if I don't say that he has started standing on his own. He catches chairs, table and tries to stand. He does stand but after sometime he shakes his legs. May be because he doesn't know how to come out of that position. Once he stands he doesn't know how to sit now. He also tries to release the support which he is holding but gets unbalanced and then doesn't dares to do it. He falls number of times but then never gets tired trying it again. Rarely do I eat without Aryan on my lap.
He is curious what I am eating and may be wondering whether he gets flat food. In order to develop taste of different food, I normally give a small bite whatever I am eating and put it on his tongue.He likes choclates and gives an expression of "Yeah dil mange more" but I remove it after he licks it 2-3 times. Once while eating pizza, I thought to feed me cheese from that pizza and he cried as if he has eaten chilly. He drank water and I gave him "Parle G" biscuits and then he was back in action. He really likes tropicana orange juice and he drinks it with glass. This month we have started feeding him fish, egg yolk and cheese.

Having fun time in bath tub with papa

Weekend is fun time no more baby bath but he waits eagerly for grand bath.On weekends both of us have bath together with lukewarm water in bathtub. He enjoys splashing water, plays with floating rubber fishes and runs towards the running water. He gets bit upset when he is pulled out of bathtub.
He has started inclination towards Nimisha for some activity and towards me for some other activity.When he is hungry or sleeping time it's mummy but when it's play time, it's papa only papa.When I comes from office first thing I do is to lift him up and play for sometime but then it becomes difficult to hand it over to Nimisha and let me sit. When I am going outside and is with me and then when I try to give it to Nimisha he gets cranky and starts throwing his hands and legs showing his displeasure.
It seems there were lot of happenings but lot more is awaited for tenth month so catch me soon.
