I and Riya went to the park yesterday. I saw another mum with a baby who was about 7 or 8 months old and playing the swing. I instantly remembered the first time I took Riya on the swing. She was about 6 and half months old and could barely sit other own. But she had enjoyed sitting on the swing the very first time. She had smiled and was happy to play the swing. And yesterday all she wanted to do in the park was walk around. She looked at all the older kids in amusement as they ran and jumped around in the park. I am sure she was wondering when will she able to do all that they were doing.

She is now trying trying to play different things. She is now stacking her rings on the pole in the right way. She stacked the whole set for the first time last week. She is also learning to do her shape sorter. She has also done a couple of drawings and artwork :)

She keeps saying daddy , daddy all day now :). She tries to repeat lots of words after us. Today she was trying to say cat. She said tat,tat,tat though :).

She will be 1 tomorrow. If it were in India we'd have a biiig party with all the family and friends. But here it's an odd time as its going to be Christmas vacation and everybody is busy with their own plans. We are off course going to have a party later on with some friends but its a shame that we won't have much of our family around for her 1 st bday. Though we are not having a big party tomorrow but we a going to have a couple of neighbours and daddy is now busy blowing some balloons. We are going to do little decoration and we have a little present for her. We have also bought her a Minnie Mouse card which seems to be favourite character these days. Hope she likes them all...
