My 4 month old!

Aadya turned 4 months old on 30th July and mommy still hasnt been able to update the blog about it and to think,Aadya is the star of the blog!So, today as Aadya is busy screaming with joy as Papa,plays with her, Mumma sits down to write about her 4-month old.
Screaming? you ask..Yes screaming.She is a screamer.She has learnt to squeal and scream.She squeals with joy,when her dad comes home. She squeals with joy when I go to pick her up after her alone time on the playmat .She squeals when talking to her butterflies.Its as if she is practicing the squeals..all the time.Sometimes she even tries to add a squeal or two when she is crying.That is so funny.She is quick to show her discomfort too.When she is mad,she turns red in her face and screams!
She has learned to sit up with support and if we give her our thumbs or fingers to hold, when she is lying down..she has to sit up on her own and not satisfied with that,she has learned to stand up! This is one determined little child.2 days after she turned 4 months old, she decided that she doesnt need our support to get up, and since then she has been trying to sit up on her own, supporting her upper body with her elbow and with sheer willpower,she raises her self to an almost sitting position,kinda like a scoop!
Aadya has 2 new friends now.The fan and the iron board. She favors the iron board over the fan and the butterflies over the iron board.
This little girl is a social bee..She loves to have people around her. We take her to the mall and she is so excited, refusing to sleep.. as if to take in all the pretty sights.
She is constantly babbling..constantly!And when she gets sleepy,she wants to sing herself to sleep too. Her nap routine is like this- Two yawns and rubbing eyes and mumma knows its nap time.and touch wood, its more or else the same time everyday.. just 10-15 minutes here and there. So, mumma wipes her face,puts her in the sleeper sack and takes her to the bedroom.We sit in the rocking chair and mumma rocks her to sleep,while humming to her. And then Aadya starts humming too.If mumma stops she stops..mumma starts n she starts too :)After around 15 mins, Mumma transfers her to the crib and baby opens her eyes, checks if everything is the same in her crib,cuddles up with Poochie and sleeps.( for an hour atleast.) Then mumma has to pat her to sleep again!
When she wakes up,she plays in her crib,waiting for us to get up..and then when she has waited long enough,she calls out to us in clear distinct,AYE..So sweetly called out, who can not answer her 🙂
Other sweet, happy times are bath times-Aadya loves to sit in her bath-tub and offlate has started to thrash her feet in the water and loves the resulting splash.A big grin lights up her face,when the water splashes!
Not one to stay in one spot,she has learned to kick the floor with her heels and move her body. So,there is no way, mumma can leave her on the bed or the couch. The only place for her is on the blanket spread out on the living room rug. I leave her at point A..and in no time she lands up at point B, defintely not on the blanket and at an angle of 90degrees from point A.The scene that typically greets me is my baby girl gazing up at the ceiling,with her hands clasped together,in a thinker pose!
After our early morning nursing sesssions,I bring Aadya to our bed and her favorite passtime is playing with mumma’s hair,touching mumma’s face,Papa’s face and finally falling asleep with one hand holding papa’s night shirt and other holding Mumma’s hair!
When Mumma wakes up and sees this beautiful sight,what more could she ask for 🙂
Happy 4 months,my love!
