Chhavi Talks 1

Is your little girl talking yet ? A very common question when people meet me after a long time.
My answer : Oh my - don't ask...

Yes, Chhavi has become super super talkative. And she manages to repeat any sentence thrown at her. She quips the same line back at us at an unnatural speed. Yes, be it any language. Not saying she knows to talk all languages, but just that she attempts to say the same thing - although not completely correct. All this when she's just 1 yr and 8 months old.

She also recites around 10 rhymes now. Again, not the complete thing, and she knows what to say when. She teases us, she hides stuff and pretends she doesnt know about them, she does something mischievous and watches our reactions from the corner of her eye etc., etc., All in all, she's a joy to be with and time well spent when I am with her.

Communication Skills 1

My dear daughter,

You are almost 2 months old now. You are a week short of 2 months.

You have started talking to the fan now. You have however started smiling at it from past 2 - 3 weeks.

Baby :) I now call you babbala or babbaloo :D Nobody calls you by your real name and we all regret it, but there is still time. You are still very small. Your dad still calls you babbi kutti (name was coined by me initially, but I stopped using it - he still does LOL).

You love being lifted and cuddled and do not make a fuss for anything else. You only cry when you are extremely hungry or extremely sleepy or need to be cleaned. Even though you have a colic condition, you are a very manageable kiddo.

You become very excited when people come near you or talk to you. Its probably because you think that they will pick you up. You smile loudly when my dad or mom speak to you. Especially my dad. You try to get up from your position and put all the effort for them to carry you. You lift your butt and move your shoulders as if trying to lift yourself off from your rocker. You make such cooing sounds that people around you melt and pick you up.

You also move your hands and feet a lot. So I am sure that you are getting lots of exercise. You enjoy your morning oil massage and bath thoroughly and although you cry during the bath, I am sure you feel great. Because, after the tough massage and hot hot bath, you are so exhausted that you fall right to sleep.
