Hi friends,
I know everybody is cribbing about members not writing enough and that board is becoming silent.. But maybe gals are just busy and little lazy to write just like me. But I make it a point to visit the board every day.
I know some of the members are frust because of passive mode of others and have started interacting individually on mails/phones.. but that's ok, isn't it..?

The main topic: Radha. She will be 10 months tomorrow. There are many many things that she has learned in last few months. She can crawl super fast, she can actually play catch-catch with you.
She can walk by holding the furniture since last one month, mentally she is not ready to let go of whatever tiny-miny suport that she hangs to (like just one pinch of a corner of my nightgown or her naani's saree!).

She can climb on things now. We have a side table which is quite low, little more than 1 foot, she can climb on it on her own. From sofa she can climb on sofa's hand rest, and from there she can climb on a folding table (height of normal dining table) so that she can sit there and play with phones !

She knows which side of the remore is the correct one and will always hold it that way, how much ever we try to fool her and give it in her hands in any other ways.

She can wave Tata, she can shout so loud that yesterday I could hear her from gate of my society (some meters away from my building) and mind you she was standing at the balcony with my mom to do \";Tata\";, on 6th floor.
But this is rare. Usually she is quiet person. Always curious about the things. She can play with her toys for some minutes without bothering anybody (but dare you go in other room and the antenna's catch the movement at super sonic speed).

She can show where is fan (looks at things when you ask her where is this or that), wall clock. She even recognizes some of her toys like Engine, Hen etc. I have got her one board book, Baby's first friends. She like it, she turns the pages on her own now !!

She knows when it is time for someone from house to go out. When her dad is in home-clothes she won't bother much abt him, but soon as he dresses up she gets herself attached to him and makes him give her one round in the garden below.

Blabbers a lot, yesterday whole day she was saying something like \";Abba\"; and \";Amma\"; and we are Maharashtrian family :-)))

Hey I guess I can go on and on and on so I must stop now.
But before stopping, one thing I have to tell you: Radha can dance to songs. She waves one hand above her head and shakes her whole body and that too to-the-tune. Just start the music, if she likes it she will dance! Kajarare is her favorite and she dances to the length of full song.
We saw Salaam-Namaste that day.. She was sitting on my lap, she came forward on the lap and started swaying till the song finished, ppl from other seat also were watching her and having fun :-)

So FULL STOP for now..
Whenever you can find some time and shake off the laziness a little (like me this time), do share what your kiddos are doing.
Love,
Archana
