Just like her dad !!!

I generally get mails on how the baby's development should be at every stage ... And it stated for my 9 months old that:"By this week, your baby may be able to pull herself up very easily and sit down again (without just falling back on her butt). She's also likely developed enough leg strength and balance to go for a little walk with you if you hold both of her hands -- great practice for her first unassisted steps, which may happen any day now (although most infants don't start walking solo until closer to 13 months). "

What can i say ...." Chillu baby is already walking and running and tottering all around the place ... " I know ....i keep telling this again and again....Its just that im so baffaled and obfuscated about how chillu baby is able to do it !!! Well ...if you are wondering how ???? Its in her genes .... Oh come on, its not from me!!!. Its from her father !!!

Its so that even Chillu baby's father started walking and running at the early age of 9 months. Hey, im not being frivolous. ..Its true. These were the few things ppl told me when we got married :))Ya he is squite an extra ordinary genius in everything. And thats where chillu baby got all her energy and stamina from...

Neways every child is different and unique in his/her own way. I can see how unique my sweet chillu baby is ....You are special my sweet baby. You are ...always my sweet lil chillu baby!!! And im proud of you....

Peek - a - Boohhhhh

Peek-a- Booh ....Peek - a - Booh ....
Chillu baby loves to play Peek-a- booh. Its more like the hide n seek game.
Earlier ( when chillu was a baby) myseslf and chillu's sdaddy used to hide our selves behind whatever and peek out ...chillu would get really exicted on that ....now she has started playing the same with us .. ( not that she is not a baby now ....she always is mommy's sweet lil chillu baby... )
She would go n hide her self...sometimes cover only her face, thinking the rest of her body is being covered too??????? and Peek - a - Booh ....

ha ha ...and if you ever try to catch her , she would run and totter as fast as she can.. ....

Learnt to run mmmm ....

Homemade Baby Food Recipies

Boil the apples and beat them in the mixy or smash them.
Filter , to give apple juice. Or can even feed just like that as apple sauce.

Huray !!!

Chillu baby has got one tooth exuding out of her soft and tender lower gums...one more is on its way out !!! Hmmm ....she has also started saying a few words like "ta ta" , "atta atta ...", "aye..."...and "ellae ellae .." as usual ....Good Job baby !!!

Chillu's Favourite's ....

Fisher Price, Toys to play, hughes, Play school .....nah nah nah !!! nothing is as interesting as my kitchen utensiles for chillubaby!!! ...Ya , u heard it right, Chillu baby's favourite time pass is to play with my kitchen utensiles...Had i known it before, i would nt have invested in buying loads and loads of toys ....ha ha. Just kidding baby ...mommy will get u lots of toys neways !!!

Ok, so where were we ? Yes, lemme continue .on how she does it !!!..She would sit right next to the dish washer...pull out all the vessels that are at her reach and play. The vessles are her drums and the spoons are her sticks ...If these two are at her reach ur gone for a sixer !!! Hey these are not drums on which u keep hitting until it looses its shape !!! I cant explain how shapeless all my vessles are...All the spoons, plates, kadai, idly tray.... Oh come on ..what can be so interesting about that!!! But that keeps her busy and entertained for a while and im happy about that. After all, babies at this age are very curious enough and like to poke their nose into everything possible....i dont need a walker or a jumper or anything to appease her ....just open the dish washer and she s all set and busy !!! ha ha thats my sweet lil girl ....

Something that happened when i was a kid just struck my mind... My dad used to buy me toys to play ( duh ..all parents do ) ...and he would tell me " Play with it and break it ...i want to buy you more toys !!!" to break ... The same thing replicates here ...i keep telling chillu, "Play with all the vessles and break it soon ...I want to buy new vessles !!! " :))

Yet Another Milestone !!!

Just completed 9 months and chillu baby has mastered to walk on her own !!! It just looked like she was a lil pumkin in my arms yesterday and today ....my baby has started walking!!! wohooo !!! Pretty exciting to watch her do all her first moves. Her flight would take off ..tottering and swaying all around as much as she can and land when ever she loses her balance... woops we would say, but she just gets up again with the same temperament and continue walking. Now she walks in and out of our whole house. As i already said, im not sure if babies grow fast...but my baby is definitely growing in rapid speed. ..
