    Happy Father’s Day to SD and to all the lovely dad’s in the world. 

    Our day started with flowers and cards and presents for Daddy,followed by Breakfast-in-Bed! Ms.Aadya helped me make his tea and put the milk in the cereal bowl and added the cereal herself!

    In case you are wondering,about the bed..we dragged a mattress out two nights back,so we could watch movies in bed and the girls slept longer on the makeshift bed in the living room,so we let the mattress stay..an extra day!

    We’re off to the zoo now..hope you are having a good Father’s Day and/or a Good Weekend!

  • I love her so much!

    I was laying in bed,feeling sick and sorry for myself,when she stirred.She opened her eyes,saw me next to her and moved closer..hugging me tight!

    Now,as I breathe in the cocktail of olive oil,strawberries and sleepy baby smell-I stop feeling sorry for myself…instead I am grateful to be around to experience this heady feeling all over again…And yet again,I am amazed at how this tiny body fits as perfectly in my arms as the not-so-tiny-anymore body that I hugged a couple hours back,at school drop-off! Love you Ananya for being you!

  • Flu Monster strikes again..

    Yes!And this time its Ms.Ananya and me,who have been hit..We spent most of the day sleeping..I can barely talk or swallow…Anani is the same..hasn’t eaten anything all day except b’feeds every few hours…She is clinging to me,sleeping only when I am sitting up with her..Seriously,Mums shouldn’t be sick when their kids are sick…
    will be back when the sickness goes away..
    sending love n good health your way…

  • Chalk n Cheese

    My girls are like Chalk & Cheese..Ohh!I love the sound of that ‘My girls’…I always  wanted a girl and I always hoped that she would have atleast 1 sister 🙂

    So,anyway,as I was saying,Aadya and Ananya are like Chalk and cheese..They look similar..but that’s where the similarities end..One likes sweets,the other savories..We went to a Gurudwara recently.They were both eating from my plate. I offered a spoonful of kheer(rice pudding) to Anani,she tasted it and refused to eat anymore..I gave some to Aadya and she loved it.Ananya lapped up the daal instead..that Aadi refused to eat.

    Aadya was stuck to me with Fevicol forever,when she was 1 yo..Ananya happily goes and makes friends with even random strangers.

    Aadya was a complete mumma’s girl..Ananya..well she is a Mumma’s girl..only when her Papa isn’t around! She is a complete Papa’s girl…she even refuses to come to me,when I call her,if SD is holding her..breaks my heart into a thousand pieces every single time..I worry..when I stop breastfeeding her..she will completely stop coming to me..:(

    Ananya knows no fear..I remember when Aadya was around 9 months,she tried to grab my cup of tea.I stopped her..but she tried it again.That time,I let her touch it.The cup was warm by then..but she felt the heat and knew better to not touch it again.But Ananya..No!she doesn’t care.She will touch it again and again..and give me a dead stare..as if to say..’I dare you,mum!!’ If I scold her..she keeps looking into my eyes..smiling..without breaking eye contact..till I don’t start smiling.She is not one to cow down! Aadi,on the other hand..gets upset..and starts crying..She is my sensitive princess..this one-my brattina!!

    Though Aadya was the closest to me..she got attached to just about everyone,that she came in touch with. Ananya on the other hand..is so friendly..she smiles at everyone,stares at some too..!!!I don’t know why she is like that with some people!LOL! But..as I was saying,she is so friendly with everyone..but attached to only a few.

    They are so different yet so in similar..The way they sit,they way they eat,the way they both talk in their sleep..They both love Boondi and Parle G  …Oh I could go on and on…and now I wonder if the title even makes sense..

    Oh well,Different or Similar..I love them to bits..I leave you with a pic on my girls..It seems surreal that they were once inside me..:)
