WORD(LESS) WEDNESDAY

This pic might be hazy but i like this coz its the first time i see her fighting for a doll which wasnt hers at all...Btw the other kiddo is Diya.

Dont they look adorable?

FIRST BITE

I asked Jenna give mommy a kiss and showed my cheek and the girl who usually gives a wet smack on my cheek,actually bit me... OUCH! Btw she has two teeth... the lower central incisors.... this was my first bite from her and my hubby got bitten yesterday while feeding her and he said it hurted like hell.... this is our first bite and i guess there are many more to come.....i was jus thinking thank god it was jus two tiny teeth,imagine getting bitten when they have a whole set of teeth.I will post pics of her two teeth soon.....

8 MONTH OLD MILESTONE

Jenna has turned 8 months,she weighs almost 20 pounds and here is the list of things she can do...

1. She can crawl and pull herself up to stand, and she can even stand without support for few seconds.

2.She can climb the big empty diaper cardboard boxes but is clueless how to get down.

3. She loves to eat indian food and is not a big fan of the baby food.

4.She claps her hand

5.She babbles a lot...

6. Her favourite song of this month is varaan varan poochandi and favourite video is crazy frog.

I really cant believe in another four months she will be a year old.... Time is flying...

SLEEP BETTER

Yesterday i bought the JOHNSONS bedtime bath and lotion which says it has the calming scents which helps babies sleep better so i thought i would try it for Jenna .. btw Jenna gets up only once in the night for a feed.. so she does sleep well, but i wanted to give it a try,so i bought one. It has a lovely lavender scent which calms and relaxes everybody and she smelled so good and when it was actually bedtime,she didnt want to sleep. Her usual bedtime is 9.00pm but she finally slept at 11.00 pm.I guess the lavender scent had an opposite effect on her and she became so active and was playing till 11.00.But the scent from her actually made me sleep better... maybe i should start using it too.

VISITOR

We had a visitor today... a very small visitor,it is a squirrel.It had been a regular visitor before we left to India .I used to give the squirrel honey bunch of oats and it used to love em.. But after coming back i found the squirrel missing... Yesterday my hubby lay few french fries on our patio for the squirrel ,thinking it would come back...and it sure came back today morning to eat the french fries.When the squirrel used to come before,Jenna had no interest looking at it but now she does..when i showed her the squirrel she got super excited.

She started tapping the glass door and scared the squirrel away,,, poor squirrel ; ) .I doubt whether the squirrel would come back.

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY

PULLING UP TO STAND

I m feeling so tired, i had a very busy day running behind Jenna who is constantly pulling up to stand holding all the furnitures she comes across... even right now as im typing this she is pulling out all the dvds from the tv stand... i let her do it and im not going to disturb her because i know even if i bring her and put her in a different place,she will crawl back to the same position.Im really thankful to God she has not yet identified the fire place yet... we have put few boxes in front of the fireplace so she does not see it... Sometimes it is so funny,she holds on to the chair and looks so terrified knowing that she will fall any minute and then she falls on her butt and then she is again trying to stand though she jus fell..And if she sees me in the kitchen , within the blink of an eye she will be in the kitchen pulling herself up holding on to the dishwasher. Nowadays my house is in such a mess that if my mom sees it ,i will get an earful of how to keep the house clean but i cant help it...there are toys and dvds strewn across the floor,u will wonder whether there was an earthquake in our area...Ummm....no one told me it will be difficult to manage once they start crawling...
