Birdie Birdie


If I were asked to guess what Anushki would grow up to be - I would guess ornithologist (yes I googled it). She absolutely loves birds. When she sees a bird her hands go up in the air, doing the birdie sign going "uh uh uh" telling us that there is a birdie nearby. Thats a change I have noticed, before she would enjoy it herself, now she calls our attention and wants to share the excitement. A trip to the nearbly lake is usually a real treat for her, she sees birdies and ducks which I think are her next favourite thing.

We went to a zoo last weekend and she had great fun watching all the animals. Her reaction in the bear's cave was hillarious. A huge grizzly bear lie quietly in its den and right infront was a small pond with fish and some ducks. We could see this through a big glass window. When we entered the place, Anushka totally ignored the bear (she did not realize there was a bear) but was captivated by fish and the ducks. After a while, the grizzly bear woke up from its slumber to check out the audience and when it did, Anushka's eyes opened up wide and she went "O".

My darling has started crawling everywhere now, on her tummy, commando-style. I think its time to make a trip to the store to child-proof the place. Next up - I'll post a video of her crawling, stay tuned...

Daddyasal


That means "longs for Daddy". These days Anushki just wants to be with me and I am loving it. It is just a phase I guess, I don't get to see her 3 days of the week because of long working hours, so when I am home I think she wants to be with me.

Yesterday I had two accomplishments. I recognized that she wanted to go potty, and later on I put her to sleep, which has almost never happened before. She always wants her Mom when she is sleepy. She looks really cute on her little potty, she even grabs on to something when she is trying hard, my baby is so focussed :-)
