5 month update n more

Aadya turned 5 months old on August 30th and this time we celebrated the day by eating pizza out of the box..sitting surrounded by boxes.We were packing to move. Aadya was just having fun crawling around.There were so many things to grab at.
There are so many things to write..I just dont know where to start.hmmm..ummm…
Ok,Let me start with my favorite!
Aadya has learned to hug and Kiss. Yes.. after that lone kiss ..that I was so excited about,her mind got side-tracked with other interesting activities 🙂 So, Mumma was busy packing and Aadya was in her crib.It had been over 2 hours since Aadya saw Mumma..and so when Mumma went to pick her up,Aadya Baby puts her arms around mamma’s neck and kissed her! Mumma was on top of the world..Papa kept trying after that.. but he had to wait a good 4-5 days before being blessed :)Its Kissesgalore in Aadyaland
Now,this little monkey just doesnt want to stay on her back. No Sireee! If we put her on her back,she balances her upper body on her elbows, raise her legs to a 45 degree angle and stays like that forever..taking a few breaks in between. you see,she wants a washboard stomach..and its not easy maintaining that. The rolling over continues- now far more effortlessly than before.And when madam gets tired of elbow props and rolling over.. she wants to sit! Yes! sitting is the name of the game. And guess what? now she doesnt even need the support of our hands..How cool is that??!!??
**************
We have a drama queen in the making.The moment I put her down,the crying starts and as soon as I even reach to pick her up,the sad face turns into a big toothless grin.Ohh Wait..not just a toothless grin, but one loud toothless grin! Yes..We now know how to squeal with delight!!And giggle.Mumma had to experiment.She lowers her on the bed..waaaaaaaaah wahhhhhhhhh….the crying starts;Pretent to pick her up,the smiles and giggles..hehehehehe.. The belly laugh is so cute!Mumma-papa keep trying various tricks to make her laugh! This little one is so ticklish… or is it just the idea of being tickled,that makes her laugh..I am yet to figure that out. The moment we take our hands close to her tummy, the giggles start!
Papa has been conducting his own experiments too..
Angry face,knit brows, he says..”Chotu!” Short,crisp,sharp!The lower lip starts quivering..
Smiley faced..”Arre Nahi na Chotu!” said with more love n drama..a big grin lights up her face!
*******************
Oh!! and did I tell you she knows her name now!Yes!!!This happenned in the first week of being 5 months old! On 2nd September,I think.* I wish I had noted down the date then*
So, she may be busy playing or pushing herself on her butt or crawling,call her “Aadya”,she pauses and looks at you..with a smile. And then if someone else says her name.. the attention is directed to that person. You can go on blabbering whatever you want..important or not,one sureshot way of grabbing her attention is to say “Aadya”.
And boy does she talk!! Ohh yes!! all the time.. i hear different sounds every day…and thats one thing that keeps her entertained!no matter where we are, at home, in a park, at the library, at the mall.. this little imp starts her babbling.. and if someone so much as looks at her, that person is included in the conversation!

Still have so many things to write about…but I think I will publish this post and then continue working on others.
