Riya did her her first poop in the potty day before. 

Yay!!! But that's it. I have been trying to get her to do her poop in the potty but no luck. She starts playing with her potty which looks like a giant frog. 

She is now holding on to things and standing up. I go out n come back to her room and there she is ... Standing holding on to the sofa and screaming in her typical singing way which she does most of the time :). It looks like she is celebrating her victory. I look at her and see that my tiny little tender baby has now grown so tall and strong. She can stand  now and also move bit by bit holding the sofa. It makes me feel that she will soon be a grown up girl and I will miss this tiny baby Riya.

I took her to a music class yday. She was the youngest among all but she enjoyed it. She banged the drums and crawled around and looked at other babies n mums and smiled. I will take her to those classes more often.

Today for the first time I felt she missed me when I was not around. This happened at Urvi's place. I left her with Urvi and went around to see her house with her son. When I came back after a few minutes Riya quickly crawled towards me and said somethings looking at me in her own language. I felt as if she asked me where had I been :D..

6 days have gone by in a blink of the eye.. Vaishakh's holidays are over and I and Riya will get back to our routines from tomorrow. I am not sure how Riya will react. But she is a lovely kid and gels into the environment very quickly. So I hope she will be fine. We have enjoyed these days thoroughly. We did a lot of things. We had our house warming party with our friends n celebrated my bday too . It was nice to see everybody after a long time.

Riya loved having everybody over and was very excited at the party. She went with everybody and smiled at everybody. She's such a charmer. All our friends loved her and said she looked like a doll . Some loved her eyes, some loved her hair but I love every bit of her.

I, Vaishakh and Riya might not have such a time in near future but we will cherish every moment of the last few days. I and Riya are visiting one of the day care tomorrow . I have tried to put these thoughts aside all these days but I think it's now time we start working towards it. We have to find a day care and a good nanny for Riya . 

Unwilling I will put my foot forward and start looking around.  I am not sure though if I will ever feel like getting back to work . Time will tell and you will know soon :)..

You never realise when girls start being girls :).

I am surprised Riya aleady loves looking at the mirror. This reminds me of my baby sister who loved standing in front of the mirror too. Infact she still does. Riya has started loving a couple of her cuddly toys too. She now knows which one is a doggie, which one is Freddie and which one is a teddy bear. Doggie and the White teddy bear being her favourites. She smiles when she looks at them. She hugs them occasionally which is very funny. She loves playing hide and seek with the mirror. She and Vaishakh played 'peek a booo' all day yesterday and she laughed all the time .

She had a bad evening yesterday. She didnt feel well probably ? She must be teething and in pain. Why do babies have to undergo this pain? If I do anything at all to take that pain away I would.

She has been her normal self today. She has played, been to the park, had proper food and slept well. I feel contented when she has a normal routine.

It's my bday tomorrow. I will turn 29. It's my first bday with Riya and as a mum. Am very excited. I know she has no idea and she won't be wishing me this time either, yet am excited. Crazy mum ain't I ??

Riya turns 8 months today...

We took her to visit central London. Luckily it was a nice day even though it's the end of august. Riya had a lovely day today . She loves going out. She took her first ride in the train today and she loved it. She looked at everybody on the train and smiled. People found her very friendly and adorable . Off course she is. They made faces at her to make her smile and she did. She is such a happy baby. All that she needs is attention. We also packed her lunch and she had her lunch in the park. Our first try. Didnt work great but it was not bad. We were surprised she slept only for half an hour through out the day today. She was so excited all the time . We came back home at 5.30 and gave her dinner. She went to bed at 7.30 today . She us very very tired and so are we ... :)

I and Vaishakh decided that we should start the process of weaning for her. Riya will be 8 soon and we think it's time . I always thought that I should have started weaning by 6 months. But when the time has come I feel it's not time yet :). I have no idea why I feel like this. We tried giving her milk in a bottle yesterday but she did not take it well. It's going to be tough. I have postponed the idea for a bit now.

She has also started eating chapatis now and I am very happy about it. Hope she starts eating rice too. Looks like she does not like rice. She eats almost all her fruits though.

I and Riya had a lovely time yday afternoon. She just woke up after a half an hour nap and we were just rolling on our bed. She laughed so much. She was in a very good mood. Whatever i said to her , she chuckled and laughed. I was calling her moti n she was laughing. We had nice fun. I just enjoy seeing her laugh.

Watching TV with daddy!

Vaishakh is off from work tomorrow and I am very excited for Riya . I am sure she will enjoy all the time he is at home . There will be more to write but I doubt if I will have the time.

It was Sunday yday and daddy was at home. Finally spending some quality time with his sweet daughter. Riya is soo happy when Vaishakh is around. She smiles a lot .She was all over the place yesterday :). Daddy fed her dinner today for the first time.

 It's amazing how they do it once and then start doing it again and again. They just know how to do it. How do they know how to sit and then get on their knees and start crawling? It's magic. She was crawling all around in the hall today. She went to the book shelf and pulled out all the books and was playing with them. I am glad she is not tearing papers yet :). I was able to take a couple of videos of her crawling today which I sent to her Ajja n Ajji . They are all very happy to see it.

 Everyday is a new beginning. They learn something new everyday. She was 7 months and 18 days when she sat up on her own. I am very happy that I am able to see all her developments. 

I am just too worried about leaving her and going to work when the time comes. But I just don't want to think about it now. I want to enjoy every moment with her. She will up anytime now and it will be time for her lunch .. Wondering what to give her today....

And she crawled.. 

It's so beautiful to watch them do that. We had been waiting for days to see her crawl. We kept all her toys away and expected her to crawl to them. But when she started crawling she went for our toys and not for her toys . We should have known that :).. She wanted my phone, tv remote, things in the kitchen etc . 

She is just a week away from being 8 months. I can't wait to watch her crawl more and more. I know it's going to drive me crazy as she would want to pull out everything in the house but I don't mind that :). 

At Wimbledon Park

She is sleeping now soundly in her bed and i am missing her. I am looking at her photos and videos. It's the weekend tomorrow and Riya is going to have lot of time with her dad and is going to have a nice time....
