Now that I have finished writing about all of our daily activities in details I have decided to write once every week on Rishab's activities. This month some very good things happened and some not so good things also happened with Rishab.
Let start with the "not so good things" - baby rishab got his vaccination shots in first week of January 2012. It was bad .. very bad ... infact, worse than the previous two times - more so because he was more aware of the pain this time. On the day of vaccination, just like we take him for morning walks every day, we took him to the clinic. The doctor examined him and was happy with his progress. Then came 2 shots - one on each thigh like a bullet piercing by little baby.. ouch!! this was followed by a loud cry and an inconsolable baby. Ohh!! It must have hurt too much!! This was followed by 2 days of mild fever and discomfort for him. Well all bad things come to and end... and for now the vaccination episode stands closed till he turns 13 months. Its a relief, cause it really pains to see a small baby undergo so much agony.. but as parents this is part of our duty to see that he is properly vaccinated. This was the worse part of this month.
Now coming to the "really nice things" that have started happening.. Rishab has stopped sleeping in his crib as he has outgrown it. Now he sleeps almost anywhere, when he is sleepy so that a good thing. No one could be happier than me. Another good thing is that he will like a good boy have his milk without us having to distract him, which is quiet a relief cause as a mother I no longer need to bother about how much milk he drinks. He has started eating pureed food and enjoys it quiet a bit now. One change that we noticed is now he will not have his food in the stroller. He has now got enough sense to figure out that, if he is put in the stroller with a bib, then its food time. So we struggled a bit to find new ways to make him eat we tried to make him sit in the lap or on the bed- and a high chair was a definite no-no cause Rishab hates being confined. We observed he would hate to sit and eat and just wanted to stand and eat. or walk and eat... so we brought in the "walker". Many people would curse me for introducing the walker so soon... but believe me he loves this experience and can walk quiet well for his age. May be you should check out this video :

Among other thing we have observed he has started hating strangers. He will start crying if lifted by a stranger. The other day we took him to a friend place and he cried a lot. We have also taken him to the beach and how he hates the sand and the sea water!! Well the irony is that when he is in the bath tub he will play a lot with water but the other day when I took him to the swimming pool just to wet his feet he burst out crying.. i guess he can still relate water only with his bath tub and not the pool or the sea.
He is learning slowly but surely. In no time, I am sure I will see him jump into the swimming pool and think back on this day when my baby would cry when water touched his feet. A new experience each moment - I say so because when you have a baby a day goes by like it was a moment come and gone. So let these moments go by for now!! See you next week.
