Dapang kuthu

So .. In Pondicherry , Saro was dancing randomly to amuse aishu baby and she was giggling and gurgling - so I joined him to just cookie dancing- Ashwin was observing us thoughtfully , then he got up from the bed and got on the floor- all do thoughtful- I was sure he was going to tell us to stop coz it may have looked painful to him- our dancing- instead he started doing classic dappang kuthu dance too!!! Hahaha. Saro snd I burst out laughing which shocked him into stopping but I'll never forget that! It was serious and yet spontaneous - he jumped up and joined in the cookie dance! 

Ashwinisms

Okay he's entertaining us pretty much non stop! 

Yest night at the bathroom while waiting for the water to get warm enough to wash him he was holding his ... And told be - there's a ball! Hahaha!!! I had to tell him yes there is a ball ( actually 2 but I didn't expand on the details) and they it was normal:) 

Yest evening - his third day of drinking milk in a cup- he was taking ages and I tried to encourage him asking him- would you like a new cup for milk? He replied no I want my old bottle for milk!!!!

Day before morning - he went around collecting loose change around the house - he came to Saro who asked him where he got the money from. He answered- from Samy - and then cut in- must ask before taking ah! 

Haha! It's like he's saying I know what you are going to say I'll just say it myself! 

Last week- he burst into tears because he banged akshaya's head with the Gate and was not eager to say sorry. I was insisting- in the middle of his tears he commented in a self reflective moment  - I'm crying so much!!! 

In India - we lifted him to look at a pond in rameshwaram temple. He wanted to see it some more but we wanted to MBS on. Instead of accepting our decision, or protesting, he just walked around the wall certain there would be another way of viewing his pond with fish and true enough! That was a big chunk of the wall fallen down enough for him to see easily without us lifting him! Love that attitude! 

The milestone catch up post

Time has whizzed by! 

We went to India last month got back about 10 days ago. Aish was 8.5 months there and look at what she can do! 

She learnt to crawl, from slithering in her stomach. She's leant to pull herself up! And spouted three visible teeth! 

Woo hoo! 

Now at 9 month plus she crawls with ease pulls herself up constantly and even balances a few seconds on her own while standing - not holding onto anything. 

Yesterday she met the five pop up animals toy- boy was she pleased to see panda pop up at a press of a button! She exclaimed at it, gurgled about it to Akshaya and tried to swipe him back to sleep! 

She loves playing with Ashwin too. She was standing between my legs the other day and everytime she sees Ashwin she giggles and tries to scramble up on me. It was adorable!
