Completed Eleven months


Duplicate??

Today, I was chatting with my cousin Neel and Bhabhi, who saw Arayn after six months, and they pointed that he has grown up. My little angel has completed Eleven months and there were lot of new happenings in his life.
He has started expressing himself. If he dislike a food he shakes his head NO and turns away his head whereas if he is happy while doing some activity he claps and I can see excitement on his face. He has started understanding that papa or mummy is not happy with him. At times we have to scold him not to touch certain thing so if I stare at him and say "NO Don't touch it" he understands there is some problem and he should not do it and he stops.

He has started experimenting with his hands. He wants to touch everything whether its dustbin or electric socket or even inside my mouth as why dad has teeth and I have only gums. He has learned to take out plugs from socket and tries to insert plugs in the socket (not successful till now) . Now the problem is that he knows we can put somethnig inside those holes so he will try to insert mobile charger pin (pin inserted in the mobile) which being thin can easily go inside. Though we have pasted cellotape but all the holes are not covered and also not sure as why sockets in US so near to floor.

Someday, I wonder whether he want to be "Kachra King", you blink your eyes and he run to kitchen and tumbles the dustbin. Few more minutes unattended and kitchen is mess.
Both Nimisha and myself are right handed so was curious what will be his choice and he started playing with soft ball and throwing it towards me with his right hand and it seems he has inclination of using his right hand more for his activities.

Sipping tea

He gets bored with his toys very often so he plays with one for few minutes and now he wants next. Fianlly kitchen utensils have come for rescue. If I sip tea, he wants my cup and I have to move the cup from one hand to another, left-right front-back so now I give him another cup and he is happing sipping it (without anything inside). If I drink water in the glass, he wants the glass so you give him the glass and he will try to bite it. I have started believing that he wants to be drummer, you give him spoon, steel bowl and steel glass and he keeps on banging spoon on bowl and glass and keeps on saying babababa dadadada (baby languages), at times claps to show his excitement see how much noise I can make.


He is going through separation anxiety so if I opens the door and says "bye-bye" he knows I am going to office and he starts crying. If I go to bathroom and closes the door he will stand at the door and keeps on banging, crying as why are you inside and why have you kept outside. He oftens wakes up from his sleep and if he doesnt find mummy within arms reach he starts crying and if just wave your hand on his head and back he will again go back to sleep.


There is one thing which I am trying to do for a long time but didn't got much success. He gets frightened seeing lot of strangers so if someone comes to our house he doesn't wants to go to anyone. We have enrolled him in Mother goose on the loose programme and is doing extremely well in the surrounding of other kids but takes time to mingle with my friends. This is quiet normal for all kids of his age when he starts recognizing his parents or person whom he meets everyday and people whom he think is a stranger.

He learned to do "peek a boo", I didn't teach him but he saw other kids doing that in the library and he too started doing it. Kids learn fast in company of others.

As we play, we have invented few games, climbing the hill - so I keep pillows on top of another or I stretch my legs and he would like to crawl and jump from one side to another. Even if I raise my legs and try to stop him, he has his ways to cross all blockades. Then we play "catch me if you can" so Nimisha sits at the center and he is at back of her and I at the front so now I crawl and go to left to catch him and he runs to right so now I comes to right and he goes to left. He is so active and so happy and excited with it that no toy can compare with the fun he gets.

Playing handball

Then we have handball (A football version but with hand), both of us crawls and tries to catch the ball and pushes it from one side to another.



Why this Bear is sitting on chair? Pull it down


Let's open this refrigerator and find out foodies inside.

Boys are boys and will not sit for a moment and has given sleepless night especially to Nimisha. Like me :-) he doesn't wants anything in place so will stand and throw photoframes, toys and decorative piece from entertainment center. He has learned to open door and he will open closet, beneath the washbasin, and will throw one by own. He will go to kitchen open drawers and will strewn flour anything which is within his hand.He has even toppled book rack, chairs on him fortunately he didn't got hurt. If I charge mobile or connect laptop he will pull wire. If I look at him he will snatch my spectacle. I can see "Home Alone" movie series being created at my home. Nimisha says the best part of her day is when he sleeps for few hours during daytime


Nimisha - It's the time for disco :-) - complete all pending work

The best part of his eleven months is that he has started standing on his own and he walks few steps before he falls down. He drags his musical chair through out the room and the way he is walking it seems he will start walking before his 1st Birthday. His Birthday is next month and we have grand plans but not sure where we will be. Lot more is awaited next month so catch him for nore stories.
