Hello,
I am first going to apologise for being out of circulation for so long. I was away from home doing my MBA and then when I got back, there were piles of stuff waiting at work, and I so missed the interaction and relief this board offers.
Quick Update - Sahil will be 5 months old tomorrow. He is developed into quite a personality, naughty and spoilt. He loves to play games with us and is daddy's boy all the way. I have not started him on any solids or formula as yet, and I plan to start him on cereal on April 14th when he will be six months old.
Nowadays, I cant seem to place a blanket on him anymore since he will invariably pull it over his face and that scares me, so I switched him to Halo Sleep Sacks and it is such a wonderful product. He has also started grabbing his feet, and tries to put it into his mouth, and is so frustrated when it wont reach, it is funny to watch! Lazy bones that he is, he still wont really roll over, if we nudge him he will sleep on his side. He loves it when I read to him he already has favorite parts in his books and will always yell at me when I go to a particular part of the book and laughs when I read the parts he likes. Another favorite is the Baby Einstein DVDs, especially the one on World Animals...the first time I realized he loved looking at dogs was when accidentally there was a dog show on TV and he caught a glimpse of a dog and burst into laughter...tried it a couple of times and soon I saw a pattern with all animals.
I gave him a haircut in January and was it nerve-racking or what!!!! But the difference was he suddenly started looking like a baby boy instead of just a baby. It is amazing how fast time flies with a baby. My parents will leave next weekend and my inlaws arrive the following weekend. So this way, Sahil gets to stay home till mid-June and then off to daycare it is for him.
I am dreading that, coz it will mean that I have to get him ready by 7 in the morning. My biggest issue is I am so FAT....I used to be a size 4 and when I now buy size 14 I hate it absolutely. I keep promising myself that as soon as I stop pumping I will go on a crash diet, but losing weight seems like an impossible task right now.
I hope all of you are doing well and getting comfortable being Mummy.
Now on I will stay in touch.
Love
Suni
