Hi all
I have been missing in action for quite some time and I felt bad that I was not able to write. I have been trying to catch up with all ur messgs though!
Diya has kept me so busy that you will not believe how my day flies! Every meal time takes atleast 1-1.5 hrs with so much mess on the floors that I don't do anything which I was doing before. Between cooking and feeding her and me, I am wiped out by the end of the day. I get to catch up reading late in the evening. I so wish that I can just drop her off for feedings alone to someone:)
I have beenr eading lately about the tantrums and Diya is not any different. She has her own attitude and yells or screams if it is not her way. She can hold on to things and walk. She ven took her first steps 10 days ago. She wants to walk when she is stable I think that she is not willing to take any risk. She asks everything to come to her by saying rara(telugu)
She has started calling me mom after hearing me call my mom and she says many words like da(dog), ba(for bottle, ball, balloon), fo(phone)
She points at different things to find out what they are. She wants to go to the park all the time to swing even though it is cold outside. Her motor skills are pretty bad and she gets frustrated if I try to teach her how to do things.
Vani! Sorry about not replying to ur mail. It has been crazy like what I had typed in the first para. Saw Rishi's invite and 1st B'day pics. He is so adorable esplly in the invite pic. I wanted to kiss him in the cheek when I saw that pic.I loved the party pics. All of u look great! Could you please tell me how you made the personalized invite(what s/w or how did u do it)
Maurni! Congrats! That's great news. When is ur due date?

Padma! kudos to u and vani! U guys are keeping the board alive. Kichu looks precious in Rishi's b'day party. I get very emotional too when I think abt last yr.
Vani replied. Dear Vidya
Nice to see your post after a long time. How r u and How's Diya? Yeah, do post some latest pics of her. I was thinking that you might have come to India for a vacation and hence no news.
Thanks for your compliments on his invite. Just used Adobe Photoshop only and my friend did it for me. I don't have that s/w at office and hence couldn't do it myself.

Do keep in touch and write whenever time permits.
Kisses to Diya.
Love
Vani Padma replied. Hi Dear!!

So good to hear from you! Kichu's motor development is also at its own pace, but he's picking up words now. Imitates everything we say..

Post Diya's pics na? And between the mad rush of feeding and cooking, how have you been?

Love and Kisses to Lil Diya
