He is sick again.. :(

Now I can realize the pain and mental troubles, our parents have taken in order to raise us..Aarav is again sick. hard to state the mental condition right now. It seems he is not growing at all :( He is always sick.. :(((

When he tries to learn new things..he is sick again..His immunity is on me only. I too catch cold cough in instance..every month I am sick too..that is only thing I have given to him :( I am feeling too depressed. I caught cold from someone in office and he caught from me again..Poor child..he is not even able to breath..He has fever, cold and cough..

Dance like an animal...

Boogie woogie all day long!!! He he..Aarav has his strong likes and dislikes from this small age even. He is a born dancer..He would start dancing even he listens to a beat even..He enjoys to shake his booty all the time ;) We get so amused to see baby dancing. He has a set of his favorite poems - 'Dance like an animal', 'Dance like you got ants in your pants', 'Old macdonald had a farm', Wheels of the bus go round and round', 'Baa baa black sheep', 'Pum pum pum- the duck story', 'Two little ducky birds' always top on his list. He cant stop his li'l hands from danching while watching them on youTube.. :)

yeah, he is learning things faster now. He can remember the animal sounds and make them when he wants.. he can roar with hand action like a Lion when he wants to scare mommy..he can say Meaun..when he is asked to be a cat.. :) On other hand, to my surprize, he has learnt all poem actions I say.. He quickly performs on the poem as I say the first words of the title even.

We saw the doctor as a routine checkup for Aarav. His stats are 9.6 kg- the weight and 76.4 - the height. The weight is less as it should be 10- 11 kg, but 3 months of severe health  breakdown took a big toll on my child's life. He seems to cover the gap soon but he is not yet too strong. Durga maa, bless Aarav always.

I have started Friday fast for him, as I promised. I am sure it will bring good health to him.

My leg is becomming worst, as since the hour Aarav is born..I am getting continous numbness, tingling and severe pain in my left upper thigh. Its been one year and I saw doctor yesterday..he prescribed an MRI.. lets see what happens..

First steps....

Aarav took his first steps today..yeppie, he started walking. He was trying hard for some days to walk terribely...:))))))) All my love to him..

Aarav -the cat, just said-- MEAAOOn.. :)

He seems to copy jut every thing we say.. :) he said Meaun..like a kitten..

Aarav is 13 months today

Every day just flies by.. Aarav is 1 year and 1 month now. I feel so many emotions with him that I want to write..He is growin..growing each day. He learns things quickly now nad tries to copy most of the actions. Yesterday, I was palying with him- Ata Bata - our game.. and once I stopped, he started palying himself, said- Papa papa (for ata bata) with all actions -pointing to hand and on a line in the play- aarav dudu  pi le..he took his hand to mouth to inmate action .. :) I was surprised.

Somethig that worries me bit is he did not start walking on his own yet. I know I am over expecting now, but when I see kids younger to him walking with their parents in society, my heart goes down :( Though he is trying his hard now a days to adap to walk now a days..and can walk when I hlod both his hands and make him walk, but just waiting for that day when my baby is just an independent creature atleast  to reach out for things himself :)

I feel so much guilt that I can't even write every morning  when I have to leave him sleeping and come to office. The worst time for me is evey morning when I hold sleeping Aarav in my arms and leave him in his Dadi's room. He is growing and understands things by now. He miss me lot behind. That I can just understand when I come back in evening and he holds me so so tight and starts crying for me.. :(

EEEEYYYAA EEEYAAA OOO..

Any time you say Aarav's favorite poem, Old Macdonald had a farm.. he is ready with a sweet Eeeyaa Eeyaa OOO... :)My darling never misses to say eeya eeya o at all.. :) I keep on making him listen lot  of new poems, ABCs, 123,s and other new things..and find it simply rewarding when he picks things quickly now a days..He recognizes his papa clearly in terms of seeing and calling correctly when he wants. Though he seems to need more time for practicing Mamma.. :( Proud papa and lucky offcourse..I still have my fingers crossed for the day when my baby calls me mumma, whenever he needs me..
Aarav is trying lot of new words now a days. He has his own speech which only he can understand :) He speaks whole sentenses in some foreign laguages..:) He says bye bye, he says NO with all face actions ..too cute..I play lot of stupid games with him..he picks up and start doing action as soon as I say name of any game..like I say lets play 'chhoo chho chata.'...he picks her forefinger and start keeping on his tummy which I tought him as how to play.. :)
Love to my baby..

Aarav gave me first REAL KISS today..

It felt heavenly..For last so many months, I was trying to make him learn how to kiss mumma..and today, rather ut now he practised for the first time on me..So happy I am, that I could not even wait to write this in my blog...
Keep kissing.. :)

Adding to records- 6th tooth on 2nd Oct 10 and 7th on 6th Nov 10

My baby is a big darling baby boy now.. :) He is in so much hurry to cut his teeth. He now is a big boy with 7 teeth... :) He loves to explore new food with his teeth now. He wants to cut everything. He eats buscuit too sweetly.. :) Sometimes he even experiments his new weapons on mumma while taking feeds..:)

Love to my biggy puppy.. :)

09-11-10- HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO AARAV- One full year and still counting the blessings..

We celebrated Aarav's first birthday on 9th Nov. We decided to go for a 'kirtan' at home followed by a kids and adults party :)

Deepa came from lko, we decorated the drawing room with lot og balloons and ribbons.. it was a fun event. The day went very busy and super tiring..so tiring that both I and Deepak had to took a leave for next day too :) Aarav was very happy to see all decoration..as if he could make out what is going on..We cut the cake, arranged good lunch and dinner for everyone. Return gifts for kids were a magi, craxs ans fun flips :) they all were happy to see
Day before the birthday, I did shopping for Aarav. I picked some toys as his gift and all decoration work in the lunch time of office. He got lot of beautiful presents from her friends and lot of girlfriends.. :) God bless him!
Happy birthday to you beta and wish you all upcoming years full of good health, luck ad prosperity.

All my love to you
Mumma

05-11-10- Aarav's first Diwali.. (outside mum's tummy ;))

It was Diwali and we enjoyed lot with Aarav. I made rangoli as always..What Aarav enjoyed the most are the lightings in all houses of society and everywhere. He truely loved it. So did mumma papa :)

Why do you need my hair mumma..

Hey hey..this question was all that was written on Aarav's face all day..He did not like it for sure. On 14th October, we planned for mundan. Aarav's dadi wanted his hair cut in a family temple near Pataudi. It was very far from Delhi. So we books two cars one for our family and other for shalu di. Chacha, chachi ji also came. Aarav was already tired as he woke up very ealry at 6 as we had to leave by 6.30. It took long to reach there and day was quite hot as well.
We reached temple around 12 PM and Aarav was super tired and cranky by then. He decided to protest against all misbehaviours he was beering since morning :)
The result was he was not at all ready for the hair cut and cried like champs as soon as that budhe uncle ( called nai) picket his scissors..We only cut some of the strands and came back as Aarav was becoming really fuzzy.. So it was about the half mundan ;)
God bless my baby!

1st Oct- Aarav cut his 5th tooth

Its the upper one. And it troubled Aarav so much.. :(

Aarav stood up on his own for the firest time today..

27th Sep to 1st Oct- A black week

What can be worst than seeing Aarav in that condition we saw last week. 26th Sep 2010 - Aarav had his Swine Flue shot and 27th Sep, he was down with such high fever..My hands are still shaking while mentioning his condition.. By 3 AM he had 106 degrees of high fever. We got him to hospital- Action balaji- he was shivering, crying with pain..They put off all of Aarav's clothes and put chilled stripes all over..I can never forget the way Aarav was crying, shouting of fear, pain, discomfort..he was just pulling me to hold me and to do everything correct for him...and Iwas so so helpless!!

Things only got worst the next days..he was so very much down with viral that no medicine was effecting his health..only effect was for 4 hours max and then again he caught fever..this happened whole week..he had so much cold, cough..what not..To worsen his condition, doc prescribed blood test as he suspected Dengu..I cant write even that day whan Aarav had to face that bloodtest..he was so week and so much scared of his condition and medicines..that he cried so so much..for some time he was not even able to make any noise..Then doc asked for a chest X-Ray too..We got to nebulize him 3 days, gave strong antibiotics..I think I cant write any further on this

Only relief is that he is recovering today..Durga ma please recover him soon..I will keep 16 friday fasts..I have made so many promises do do once she fulfills my this wish..

ICECREAM....

Aarav had his first bite of icecream on earth..:)
It was a marriage yesterday..there he had a treat..Alsoright now he is in my lap and looking with such interest what I am writing..I showed him this blog today..he was looking at pics delightfully..:) How would that day be when Aarav would actually be reading all his stuff and feel his childhood...

beautiful journey.... lot to travel

it has been amazing 10months with Aarav... and i am absolutely loving all my time with him.. Aarav is sleeping at the moment.. i am not feeling like sleeping and his mummy is damn sleepy but angry with me as she is not able to sleep because of me,..

this post is just to mention i love both of them allot.. more than anything,,

knock knock..one more tooth..

Today Aarav cut his 4th tooth..And as always I am the first one to discover that.. :)) He is growing fast into a young guy :)

All my love to you!
Mumma

My little Aarav is 10 months today... :)

Hard to believe how time just flies by..It seems I just gave birth to him. Believe what..Aarav will soon hit 1..
Today he is a 10 months baby. I was watching his birth photos and he was looking so so tiny that I was just wondering how could I handle such a small creature in hands and do all work for him...how could have I managed to give him massages then and bath him.. check out the two pics and you will understand my feelings.. :)

There is also something special about this date..09-09-09 -- Remember I wrote a post on this date :) That I was being so unpredictable from this date..I was in office last year and started getting contractions in belly in my 7th months only..and from then till Aarav was born, doctor prescribed me complete bed rest..going backward to these dates just look like a story of yesterday..

I hope this blog will give Aarav all the things related to his childhood and all our feelings,beautiful moments while raising him. I am sure he would be glad to experience all these little surprises when he is young to read it!!
Love you beta.
Mumma

Aarav cuts his 3rd tooth

Today Aarav has cut one more tooth today. Its the upper one.

One more thing comes as surprize is you put the music on and he will start dancing..from today only. That's my briliant buddy.. :)

Nand ke anand bhayo..Jai Kanahiya lal ki...

It was Janamashthami on 2nd Aug and my Kanha was looking just like bal gopal...It was his first Janamashthami. Yes he also gifted me the best thing in world.. - he first uttered MAMMA continously..a new WOW added in gifts to me..

Aarav's first Rakhi on earth .. :)

My baby is a young rather youngest bro in the family now. And it was the day to celebrate his manhood :) Rakhi was on 24th Aug. We planned to go to chachaji's house in Motiabagh. Everyone in family gathered at that place. Though it was humid and hot with so many faces around, Aarav did his best in maintaining his cool for hours..my darling son..Finally Ditya di came to tie rakhi in is hand and exactly that was the time, baby Aarav decided to protest against all the cuddlings, kisses and hugging happening to him since mornimg.... :) He cried and protested against being a teddy bear for everyone.. ;)

Rakhi went good. We went home in the evening. Mention not, my li'l monkey was so damn tired that he slept next whole day..;)

9th November- 9:53 PM- Monday Aarav was born just on the same time 9 months back..

Yeppie...we are going through an entire new and overwelming exprience..just now Aarav cut his two lower teach..that too in pair..such amazing to see his growth each day. He will be 9 months next week.. I have know words to express my happiness right now. I was feeding him and he just cut me with his tiny teath.. :) And I was so so happy to see that..I am so much feeling love for my growing baby.

I have resigned from my current job and decided to be with Aarav at home for soem time. I am happy to look after him each second.that sasitfy me so much. I was not able to do any extra care for him because of my long tiring office hours..that were eating all of my baby's time. But now, I stay at home with him, make him good healthy and new foods in every meal, massage him 3 times a day, as I used to do before I joined office back..and play and laugh with him all day..I show him my funny dance on some fast music, when no one is home, and he sits, laughs, jumps and dances back with me..he likes those movements a lot..and I too love when my baby is happy with mumma..he seems to be a secure baby..and very very much happy with mumma around..I teach him new lots of rhyms that I myself learn on youtube on daily basis, so that his understading of poems and language is better..I teach him ABC.., 1,2,3..and lot of other things..I take him out each evening, and he enjoys that alot..I show and name everything he sees outside..cars, trees, leaves, plants, flowers, people..what is going around outside, who is doing what..everything..and he talks back with me..he seem to understand everything I talk, I make bath time so much fun foro him with so many bath toys in tub..he loves when I am around and I find just a new life back with my baby at home..

All things I and Deepak think and discuss now a days are about Aarav and his future..we want to earn and save a lot of big money to secure his future. May Durga ma always bring happiness to my baby's face..let him smile each moment..give him a secure future with zero worries  and just happineess!!

Love to you Aarav!
Mum!

Guilt of leaving Aarav behind...

This is when I an away from my sweetheart..yeah, I am away from him most times now..and that takes my heart away..that makes me sad! Though I resigned and am now on notice period..and counting my moments to final relieving day. All I want is to stay with my little baby..all I want is to play with him all day, to enjoy each moment of motherhood with him. To teach him new li'l things each day, to motivate him each moment to prepare him face the world..I miss him..I miss all this. Every moment I am in office, I miss my darling son. I look forward to the moment I return from office and he endorses me with such deep love and affection. He hugs me so tightly, he laughs so much with full heart..He wants to show in his little amazing actions how much he is in love with mommy..yeah I feel guilty about all this. I feel great guilt of leaving him for hours..for whole day for my own job, I feel confused and bad. I want to give him all my love. I want to give him all my blessings. When I come back home and play with him till late night..that are my 'the favorite' moments of any day..

I love you my bundle of joy!
Mumma

Look who is standing...

My little wonder is turning into a wonder day by day. He just gave us a biggie surprise..:) Oh so happy I am feeling even to write...

Aarav started standing up with support of hands some time back..and you know what he did write now..he stood up without support :) he was sitting in dadi's lap and just stood up..miraclous to see that..just wonderful .he is my big boy now..he is growing up fast and overwhelm us daily with his new little wonders...

God bless my darling..

My Baby to Baby Show...:)

Today we brought Aarav to his first baby show..it was in Mother's Pride-Avi's future school..it was good experience..Aarav enjoyed the show..though it was too hot out and so everyone was bit clumsy of the heat..but then too Aarav managed to behave so decently in the show.. :))

He got 20/20 in doctor's evaluation round :) he smiled to the teacher, got one teddy as a present from her.. :)

......

........................

7 months DON!!

My darling is 7 months old now..:)

06-June- First sip of water..

Today Aarav had his first sip of water...

School time- Mother's pride ;))

Yes, yesterday we got Aarav admitted in play school - Mother's pride. Oh don't worry guys- I know he is just 7 months and can't even walk then how can play school :)
Actually we reserved a seat for him in advance..that's the best branch of Mother's pride - Punjabi bagh and its hard to get seats on time, so we did it in advance.. :)

So my l'ill champ is the biggy baby now... :))

first flutter in tummy..

It was the first day I felt you in my tummy... :) And you know what no one (but papa) believed it was you who was fluttering..and they say it can't be you so early...

God bless you

Rejoining office from tomorrow...not happy.. :((

Too said I am feeling right now...I have to rejoin office from tomorrow..I don't know what to write..feeling so bad of myself..feeling like to cry at the moment..I could manage to take leaves for 6 months somehow..but now leaves are finishing..I want to leave my job for Aarav..see what I do.. all I know is I am not happy today..

Aarav's mom--SUN CERTIFIED JAVA PROGRAMMER - 91% :))) yeppie....

Today I gave it a trial..and I got 91% in Sun. Aarav is so lucky for mumma...too happy I am...An offical Sun certified Java developer.. ;)

He is not eating anything... taking my breaths away...:((

Feeling like to cry right now..Aarav is not eating any thing and just want my feed...He is 6 months now and doc asked to introduce some solids and Lacto Milk..with my feed..but Aarav is continuously refusing everythnig. He does not seem to like any other food..And Dal ka pani is a big NO for him.. :( What to do..
I decided to take a break from job anf exclusively breastfeed him till he is 6 months old as they say it is the best for baby and at that time lot of people said Aarav will not pick bottle later..but now when he is not picking bottle , everyone says its just becoz of me..:(( I just want the best for my child..come what may..I even gave my resignation when office was not able to extent my leaves/work form home..and then they allowed to go one month leave without pay..and now that leaves and ending..I need to leave Aarav behind from Wednesday..how will things work if he does not eat other foods..I am ready to leave my job for him if that works..He is the only priority for me...

First day to bottlefeed....

And it seemed like the first day of some great battle..(say battle of panipat..read- doodoopat..)
It seams Aarav is much smarter than his mom or dad and he knows how to throw away each of his obstacle..:(
He is not ready to bottle yet (like his other foods) and that is increasing my worries...I have to rejoin office from next Wednsday...what would happen if he does not take it...:((

Lets try again tomorrow!!

Six month celebrations..

As my champ is six months now..we decided to go to Vinayak mandir and do pooja for Aarav. It was a great pooja done by lot of southindian pandits in temple for 6 hours continously..

From Mommy's Resturant.......

Aarav had his first buffet lunch at mommy's resturant. Guess what he ordered delicious Mong ki daal ka paani (mouth watering isn't it) Well it may sound boring but means allot to us just imagine first taste of any cooked thing...

I cant even explain the moment when his mom went to kitchen to cook something for Aarav....

And its a big SIX!!!!!

Yes, my batsman son has just hit a match winning SIX... he is six month old now.... yesterday it was big day for us, we all were so excited. What so special about this day,,, well though each and every day of Aarav's life matters to us but reaching six months has bought so many things along with it..

Now Aarav can try few top up things, he can eat daal ka paani and stuff like that.. We love him allot and enjoying each and every day growing up with him...

Love you Aarav...

We are back!

So the two chief guests of the family are back..:)) Avi and his mommy...and we had just great holydays at Lucknow.. :) Not to mention, I am still missing home ;)

Daddy,, missing both of you,,,

hmm hard to admit but true,, i am missing both of you alot.. who says only girls sacrifice.. i also did... I have not seen my wife and child from past 9 long days,,, before they were leaving I was thinking oh gosh I will sleep allot but truth is I have not slept more than 5 hours any night.. Yes I am missing both of you allot..
I cannt even imagine whole bed is mine, actually I cannt take it I am habitual of sleeping on edges now.. its not your mummy, darling its you who takes up all the space available on bed.. but I love that.. I cannt tell you what an amazing feeling is to feel you next to me whole night..
every day when I get up in the morning... how bad or good night and my last day was,, whatever challenges day gonna serve me.. I have a very beautiful reason to thank good and its you Aarav... Its an amazing feeling to see you in the morning... no marks for guessing that you have just slept ... at that time only one feeling comes in mind that is to hug you tight and sleep but thats not possible because my cutie pie cannt take it .. if i do this you will give me a worst look in this world and put you all force and power to get take me away from ur body,,
But its too hollow now a days to get up in the morning.. as I dont see both of you next to me,, its only now that I have realized..
Come back soon,, both of you,, daddy is missing you guys badly,,,,

Mommy's new Juggler..

I was playing with Aarav and gave his my cell phone to hold in his hand..he generally gets too excited to find something in his hand as he got one new thing to eat in world..As I gave him the phone, he took in one hand  stared at it for some time and pass that to his other hand..too good an achievement ... he can now pass objects from hand to hand..
My li'l juggler..!!

Rain rain go away come again another day,, baby wants to play rain rain go away

Aarav enjoyed his first rain... he enjoyed it cherished it,, as someone has discovered water fall in a dessert..

Turn around,turn around...look around what is there...

Today Aarav did full round of turning around--he was lying on his back- turned around once and then again to come on his back again..My god! He was also looking so amazed after doing so and gave me a huge smile on his new skill :))
God bless my darling!

Aarav first train journey

Aarav gonna travel in train for the first time today...He is going to Nani house with his mommy... :)

humpty dumpty sat on a wall ....humpty dumpty did not fall :)))

Yuppieeee..to add to our surprizes, our li'l bundle of joy tried sitting own his own today..before this when we tried to keep him in sitting position, he needed our hand support and fall in some seconds :) but today he managed to sit without support excellently.. :))

So the world for Avi with a new view...

Hey mom, did you see me Creeping and turning around?

My li'l darling is doing extremely good. He is managing to do things really fast now..Some days back he could turn from his back to tummy and from yesterday..(17th April) he could manage to turn other way round..from his tummy to back again....wow!!

One more addition to his inventions is the 'Creeping'. When on his tummy, he tries to creep and drags himself forward with his hands and knees.He now knows he can reach his favorite toy if he just tries pushing a bit..that makes me so content and proud..I still remember my new born 1 hour baby..who knows only to suck, cry, poo and pee..and now infront of me is a CHAMP..who is mastering new skills day by day...
God bless him!

Mom, now whats that?

That's your feet baby!! :)) Yes My curious darling just discovered his feet today...and you know what, he pushed them towards his face, stared them for around a minute nad laughed big :) , puts his little hand on one foot, and now trying to pull it towards his mouth again... :) And now he wants to eat this strange new thing too.... :))))
God!! He is so amazed and me so astonished to see him discovering himself like this..I want to witness all his developement milestones like this always...I don't want to leave him for even a sec..I don't want to miss any moment he is growing...He is my little wonder :)

Who is afraid of injections?

Atleast Aarav is not! ( And touch wood for this) I've never seen a small boy who never cries when injected. My Aarav is like that. And I am so proud mum to a bravo sun... :)
When injection time comes, Aarav is on his dad again...He is not scared of them like mumma...Yesterday Aarav got Polio vaccine..He was literally smiling while vaccination. Doc also admits that he is a brave darling...I love this man!!! ..:)

12-04-10-One year to Aarav's first ultrasound

Hard to believe how time flies by..I recall clearly when we got to see Aarav for the first time on a computer screen...yes..12th April 2009..when we did our first ultrasound. Aarav was so tiny..he was just hearbeats...all we could do was listen to him...breathing inside me..breathing from me..Sometimes I get so emotional while looking at him as if he is not my kid and just my body part...sometimes ago he used to eat what I ate, breath what I took in...go everywhere I went, feel all my emotions...Sometimes so strange feelings come into my mind..I just want him to stay little. I want him to stay a newborn in my arms that is happy and safe and loved. I want to cherish every big grin, every coo and gurgle, I want him to be my little baby as long as possible.... :)

God give him a life of joy and laughter,confidence and strength. Make him believe in himself and his potential always.

Aarav- Thanks to come to our lives...you are most precious for us :)
Mumma

It itches mumma..I gotta put just everything in my mouth...

11-04-10--Aarav finally gets his first official teather ;) He drools all the time..:( He just gets out of control these days and tries to put 10 of his fingers in mouth every time. You give him anything and he will take it to mouth...Yes we showed to Doc and he confirmed his teathing has started now..so gonna be a tough time for him and ofcourse us..Poor Aarav :( I don't want to see him in any pain or discomfort..It would have been so so good if I could take away all his physical and mental pains in life...I would have taken each of them!

09-04-10 - 5 Rocking Months... :)

Aarav completes 5 months today..And I too..as a mother...amazing feeling to see him infront of me everyday..When he opens his shiney eyes every morning..and finds me besides always,,he just gives a smile of contentment...that feeling of satisfaction is hard to achieve..I pray to God that my child gets all the best things in his life, he remain in peace and in such a world where all his wishes get fulfilled. God give me strength and power to meet all his requirements and dreams.God bless my Aarav...

08-04-10 Aarav first utters - PA-PA... :)

And he is practicing pronoucing it till yesterday :) Yes he is speaking PA-PPA...again and again and again...
Awesome!! My little champ is becoming a master now... :) Yes, sometimes he utters 'MA-MMA' as well (And we know he can now not relate this words to the real mum- pa right now...but then also we love to hear these magical words from his mouth...:) )

Lots a love to my darling!!

Papa kehte hain bada nam karega....

Aarav's -THE FAVORITE on this earth is HIS DADDY...He is just mad about papa...he literally is!! Man! As soon as papa comes into his sight...he behaves as if I was torturing him so much thruogh out the day. He does everything to attract papa's attention. He shouts big words at papa, he laughs a lot, smiles, giggles even cough and what not,,,Amazing bonding...

One more genetical miracle from dad - is that Aarav sleeps in the same style as his papa only. It has been Deepak's habit to keep his hand on eyes while sleeping. I never knew it was in his genes and now is in son too..Yeah!! Isn,t it amazing that Aarav sleeps in the same style exactly as his papa from this small age even...Now that surprizes me :))
The only similarity with mum is a dimple in the left cheek...and that's IT!!! He is Deepak's full photostat....(and I am extremely jealous of Deepak for this...He is the 'HERO' without doing a single work :(((( )

A New WOW....Aarav can grab objects from today...:)))

My li'l champ has started grabing things and mouthing each object :)) . You take any thing near him, and he grabs it with his little hands and tries to eat it full...He also atarted doing lot of other cute things...He is trying on new words each minute..He speaks combinations of vowels and consonents now..

His favorite job is to go to park with munma every evening...He enjoys park so much, look at everything madly..stares at people, observe tress, plants and surroundings...Just a wonderful feeling to witness all his development!!

Resigning for Aarav..

Yes, after months of thinking, brainstorming, I finally decided to leave my job today. I talked to my manager. From last September I am working from home. I must say my company has done a lot for me to allow me working from home when there is no policy like that. And so I dont have any grudges about it..But  I feel my kid wants and deserves my time more than my career. Though it is a tough decision and right now I am feeling quite low..but that's fine. I am happy that I can give Aarav more quality time now. As I say, he is so important for me...

New Talent for sitting on his own (with some help)

Aarav can sit with very little help now. From today he started sitting on his own with some help. Though he has not started sitting completely on his own but yes he is trying his best to...Wow!! An amazing experience to see him growing each day..Love him lot baby...love you the most :))

Thanks to an amazing hubby...

You wrote all these things which I already want to write for you..Its you only who gives me all my strength..Its you to give me all my aims, my goals, my dreams.

Tonight I found a new place tickling area on Avi's body and guess what he laughed to the max.. mummy is still trying to figure out but failed its dad's magic ..... we love him allot.. I forgot to tell another thing that now a days he is trying to suck his thumb in a new special manner .. I think he is trying to invent new way, as he sucked his thumb long back in a normal manner..

milestones...

I feel so happy to see him growing...Aarav can now recognize us too well, pass big smiles and laugh to see us, can roll over, shifting to both sides, and can drive a scooter as well ;) Yeah his favorite passtime now a days is driving his scooter with his mouth....making noise with bubbles all the time ;)) And mum is running behind with his bibs...to save the world fron Aarav's rains..:))

One full year to the bestest news ever....that I was pregnant... :)

13th March...I remember how ordinary day it was supposed to be for us..a normal routine..7:00 am, we were being ready for the office..nothing great...so boring to wake up so early to go work..and suddenly I thought to be assured of something I was suspecting..and suddenly our world changed to happiness..suddenly we were feeling to be blessed more than anyone else on earth..,Yes I was pregnant and my Aarav was on the way.. :) A new life inside my tummy...so thrilling experience that can not be expressed in words at all... :) Thanks to Durga ma infinity of times...for she has blessed me with this bundle of joy... :)

And I am feeling so good and proud today to remember that special day ever. Today I am with Aarav..remembering the complete past one wonderful year ..to feel Aarav inside me..Yes, I made him...I created him..and I remember each day when he was within me...so secure, so hidden..only I could feel his heartbeats inside me, his each moves, each actions and each reactions--yes I am feel so proud today when I see him.

God, bless my Aarav with all the wishes and happiness in life..Make him content, secure, happy, independent and successful in his life!!
All my love to Aarav,
Mumma

miraculous day!!! Feeling so proud and content

Such a special day! I was overwhelmed and full emotions.. so simple but great day.. today Aarav had his first role play.. Guess what, he was Kahna today...

Yes..Some aunty in our society arranged bhagwat katha in near temple.There are 3,4 new borns in society but she wanted Aarav only to play 'Krishna'. I was working from home (office) when mummy came at 5 and asked me to get ready fast and dress Aarav as well! I was excited as I already knew about that. Pandit ji made "kanha's' dhoti kurta, and other ornaments. When we reached temple , there were around 100 people waiting for my li'l Kanhaiya...Pandit ji gave me all the things to dress him..I was not able to believe...Aarav was not looking like him..we was totally Kanha only..Yellow dhoti kurta, flowers ornaments in hands and feet, moti mala in neck, and most beautiful Kanha's ,mukut on head..HE WAS LOOKING JUST DEVINE...
When Vasudev baba put him in a basket and kept at head for the play to cross river Jamuna, everyone was just went mad to touch Kanha's feet just for one time...everyone was running to take his blessings..When Jashoda ma and Nand baba held him in lap and sat..people offered Kahha gifts and took blessings..it was just a devine feeling..All I could do was to cry..cry a lot..out of the deep feeling of pleasure...contentment..satisfaction..It was a feeling as if my Aarav has become some great I.A.S officer, and so surrounded by people and respect...what greater proud a mum can feel...and to increase the pleasure, Deepak also came to temple from office. He left early and he also felt the same after seeing his li'l wonder like that...
What else to say..we were just overwelmed seeing our darling son like that...
Bless him Kanha...

Aarav slept while bathing ;))))

God bless my little angel..yesterday I was giving Aarav his bath and my darling was so relaxed that he slept deep sound sleep during his bath only. Pooja (my house help) was holding his head while I was soaping him..and suddenly he smiled big and then felt asleep..oh baby...we did give him bath, wiped him and dressed him and he did not realised and slept hard.. :))) I loved  him so much at that moment..I love him the most on earth...I love him simply the most!!!
God always bless you Aarav..you bring every little, big happiness to us...We all love you our most adorable son..

We name him 'Aarav'

Finally, we have come up with a special name for a special someone..yes...Chiku is named as 'Aarav' after a long research.. . :)

Well I am getting to write after a long period..we went to Lucknow for 10 days..amazing days..I just relaxed and did nothing. Aarav also enjoyed there. We used to sit in dhoop for hours..Yes, Aarav boarded his very first flights also...great experience all together..

We love you the most our little angel. Will write back soon again (As write now I am loaded with my office work :( Oh how can I forgot to mention...I resumed my office from 15th Feb..but thankfully working from home for next 2 months..and yeah did I tell that I got promoted to Senior Soft. engg in November 2009..lucky Aarav!!)

a new milestone: cheeku sucking his thumb

9-jan-10--Chiku growing fast--breaking my heart...

My sweet little newborn is growing so fast. It breaks my heart... He is two months old today. It feels like maybe two weeks. The time slips away from me so fast, as does the newborn stage. I hear so many people say they prefer when their babies get a little older and have more personality. Not me, there is such innocence in the newborn stage that you never get back. He is so sweet and precious. I really don't want him to grow up at all. I want to keep him safely snuggled in my arms forever and protect him from the world.

I love him so much, I want him to have a life of joy and laughter. I want him to have confidence and strength. I want him to believe in himself and his potential. I don't want him to be like me. I don't want him to get hurt and struggle like I did.

I know it is inevitable, he will grow up. He will face challenges and heartache. Hopefully He will make better choices than I did. But right now, more than anything, I just want him to stay little. I want him to stay a newborn in my arms that is happy and safe and loved. I want to cherish every big grin, every coo and gurgle, I want him to be my baby as long as possible.

Cheeku ko sulana mushkil hi nahi namumkin hai... :((

He woke up at 9 PM yesterday..or abhi tak khelta hi ja raha hai..his fav. play--staring the walls, lights, fan...and talk to them actually..:) Its 10 AM and he is still on..are bhai mere ko to ninni a rahi hai...but he wants me to enjoy the walls with equal intensity and interest...

koi mujhe iss cheekuu se bachaaaaaaaaaaaaaaooooooooooooo............................ ;))))))))))))

3:06 A.M. What is everyone doing?

Cheeku woke up around 11:00 PM, Dad still awake, cuddled him and took him in lap. Baby decided that he just wanted to hang out for a little bit, so when Momma heard his cries of protest about going back down to sleep she has to slip out of bed. L'il Cheeku was starving and wanted an urgent feed, and some snuggle time with me. How special do I feel when he just wants to snuggle his little self all into the side of my neck and tell me "ahhh goo". Translated? "ahhh comfy, momma".


I just finally got him into my arms and loved him a lot..not enough to my baby..he even wants more...he was literally trying to move and walk around..A big cry came at 1 AM and all I was left was to give him a comfy walk in the room so that he can inspect all the walls and interior :) It is his favorite play and playtime..He just loves to walk around the room in night and stares at wallls with os much excitement..cant tell!

Its 3 AM ..and mum is really sleepy now..dad managed to sleep finally and I put my earphones on..hearing some music while playing with cheeku and walking him in the room...Its a great workout infact ;) 4,5,6,7,8,9..and cheeku has had n number of feed and play sessions :) just one more hour to go..it will be 10:00 and he w'd need a nap in mumma's arms...

I just had a great idea, just looking at Cheeku's blankie. How great would it be for me to learn how to sew, use an actual sewing machine, and make baby items. I'd love to be able to make pillowcase dresses, sweaters etc. I think it could be a new hobby for me to get into, I just need to learn how to sew and use a sewing machine, plus learn how to crochet, because the sweaters would require that. Something to look into, definitely!

Back to my sweet baby boy, just snuggled so content, binky in mouth, all peaceful sleeping. Ahhh. I did a great job. Every momma's greatest accomplishment, putting your babies to sleep, especially when they're overtired, sick, or just plain cranky from too much stimulation. I've never seen anything greater than a sleeping baby.

Goodnight....zzzZZZZzzzzzZZZZ............
