sush Vani replied. Dear Sush,

Welcome back!!! And how dare you say that we did not miss you? Ofcourse we missed your hilarious posts. Even when Paddo has written that she felt blue the other day, I had thought that if you were there, you have made her smiled!!

So how is Tia the terrific? She must be missing Paki aunty a lot. When are you joining work? Rishi is also moving a lot by dragging himself and trying to lots of crawl. He can sit without support for 3 minutes and with support for a long time. He is not speaking, only making aaaaa, ngaaa, ngooo, gnaauu sounds. He completed 6 months and is eating and sleeping much better now.

So make up for all these days of silence and write lots about all thats happening.

More later. Kisses to Tia. And WHERE are the promised pictures??????

Love,
Vani

padma replied. Hi Tia ki ma,

Good to see ya'll have settled well in the new place. And new job and new neighbours... Tia's been a good girl, i can make out.. And sitting, crawling and walking... Hmm.. Kuch zyaada hi tez he tumhari beti.. Waise Sid also is upto all these milestones, so shayad december ki hawa ka asar ho.

Kich waise ke waise he.. Just that he's stopped drinking formula and eats only solids and BM (when i am home).. I've fired my nanny and my mom is back here.. It's a depressing kahani and in my current dour mood i dont want to think of it!!

Arre, Kushnuda aunty ko kaise replace karogi? Kucch baby sitting ka arrangement kiya he kya? Sept tak you can be home? Aur Tapash ka kya scene he? I've been maha cranky with the hubby crowd .. ek baar reena ke D/h ko jhaar diya, abhi mere d/h ka time chal raha he... Tapash ko bolo ki zyaada nakhra karenge tho i'll take him on next!!

Neways.. Good to see you back yaar.. And who said we dint miss you.. Mails were written and messages posted.. all wondering where you've vanished to!!

Chalo. A big sweet kiss to Tia. Tk. care
Paddoo Reena replied. Welcome back Sush!

Good to know that you are all settled and all. Best of luck for your new job. Here, Rishu is creating havoc in my life with a firm NO to solids and a firm NO to sleep...we are ready to put him up for adoption!!
Vani had asked me to call you but I have your numbers stored in such a safe place that I couldnt find it :) But knew you were moving so wasnt worried...

Chalo do post some new pics of the new you ie minus all the pounds and Tia too..
Here my lbs love my body too much to go away so status quo on that front!

Reena swathi replied. Hi Sush,

Good that you are back! active participant on this board. Tia is already sitting/crawling and trying to WALK!! wow..she is very fast in reaching her milestones. I wanted to comment on her pictures before..she is a real cutie.

Good luck for your new job and love to Tia,
Swathi komal replied. Hey Sush,
Wow so nice to see your message up here! We really missed you yaar ....infact vani had even written a message to reena to find out about you (http://www.indiaparenting.com/boards/showmessage.cgi?messageid=3127&table_name=dis_duedate_jan2005).
So you seem to have settled down in your gaon pretty well...and pretty soon. Good for you..abhi se friends bana liye.
And wow Tia is already walking ,crawling...cool!!

Now for a synopsis of what has been happening here:
All the chintu -chintis have crossed the 6 month mark- most of them are sitting with/without support, their sleeping schedule is in a mess....you should be thankful that Tia atleast sleeps at 9:30.
Megha, Rishabh and a few others of the jan babies gang are troubling/bullying us moms into sleepless nights...megha has improved in the last 3-4 days.

Feeding solids has been a major issue too....Sids has been the best of the gang, having solids 4 times a day and sleeping well too.Good boy.

Bas baaki lots of new friends as you must've seen.
Aur haan many of us are going to india on vacation- Priya, Swathi and me.
So please give us ideas on india shopping - you must've done it a thousand times.
Take care..will write more later.
Congrats and good luck for your new job!

lots of kisses to tia.
love
komal

In short,sid ki update:-Sid is also sitting crawling teething and trying to stand by holidng onto something. Wires, paper aur plastic ke saath kheltha hai. 3 times solids n one time formula,bed by 8:30 wakes 2 times at nite.
