Due Date Club October 2005:Tanvi's Update

Hi All,

My daughter tanvi is 5 1/2 months old now. Its close to 3 months since My in-laws left and I think we are doing preety good. But life is hectic, Dont know how time flies in the weekdays. After coming home from work, I give her a bath, feed her cereal, cook food, eat and sleep. Theres no time to play with her so I spend week-days waiting for the weekend. For two days I can spend time with my little one. Mommies who stay home with your babies are really the blessed ones.

About food, I started Gerber rice cereal in her fourth month, started off with 1 tsp and slowly increased the quantity. now she takes 1/2 cup of cereal twice a day. I used to mix it with BM but now I am not making enough so I started mixing with water(She hates it if I mix formula - I tried but she throws-up).

SK, I took your advice on almonds. I dont have a stone to make the paste so I made fine powder of almonds. I mix about 1/4 tsp in the cereal and tanvi seems to like it.

I think I am trying out all kinds of things with her. As she is already used to single grain rice cereal, I started adding 1 portion of mixed grain cereal to 2 portions of rice cereal. she takes it pretty good. And in the afternoons we have started with baby food(beans-gerber stage 1) She is still in the process of getting used to it. I dont want her to dislike it so we give her only 1/3 of the bottle in a day. Its really fun to see her face when I give her something new.

Activities wise. Tanvi is trying to sit now, Its amazing how they learn everything. She sits straight for few seconds and if she can't hold her self she bends forward and supports her self with her hands. She too shouts and demands a lot of attention. But She is worth all the attention.

Love to all the little ones and Take care mommies.

hey vasavi...

so nice to know tanvi's updates...she seems to be really doing well(touch wood) ...and hope this continues...

great you trying out things and also giving her almonds...they are really good for health...not a bad idea in mixing it with cereal..if she is taking it well then no problem right...

i know working from home seems very exciting ...i do work from home..but believe me life is not easier this way either...yeah being with yash is the only positive thing out of it...nothing else...but it so hard to manage time between work , baby and household things...sometimes i feal...if i had a 9-5 job would i have done better..ofcourse..would not be able to be with yash..butt...you know..you always want what you do not have right...

anyways...all the love to tanvi...keep us updated and you take care...

SK
