Ashwin has rolled over!

My darling little teddy bear has suddenly learnt to do so many things, after lying rather dormant for a few months ;p
On 2nd Jan, he turned 360 degrees while lying on his stomach
On 3rd Jan, he turned from his stomach to his back
Now he's crawling backwards when he lies on his front or back, and turning round and round and laughing like anything when you speak with him
Hold him on your lap and he tries to leap right off, definitely enjoys the sensation of standing
he's also speaking - he says akka, Aatha and Akshaya - the last one is heard with a slight stretch of the imagination!
he's still got his cutest little pout when he's about to cry that just melts your heart
he talks non-stop and enjoys playing with new sounds
he loves blowing rasberries - and smiles while doing it! I should video it right!
and my gosh - he loves reading even more than his sister!
I tried to feed him as I read to Akshaya her bed time story - but nope! little fellow prefers grabbing the pages and gurgling at the story to drinking milk!
multi-tasking while nursing him is very hard! he gets distracted and tries to grab at whatever I try multi-tasking with - whether it is a glass of hot tea! or a computer, or a phone or a book! A page of 'What to Expect in your Baby's First Year' is torn coz little chubby fingers grabbed at it while I was reading and nursing!
and oh, he still does that adorable stretch when I pick him after feeding from one side - both hands bent at the elbow, raised to his ears with his eyes closed - such a contented stretch! my favourite!
I love him!
and he loved his recent holiday - he had 9 adults and 4 children fawning over him! that's a lot of attention for a baby who loves company!
