Rishab at 30 weeks

My sweet little baby is now 30 week old and he is growing very fast. He continues to understand new things everyday and now his world seems to have some meaning. He has learnt the meaning of STOP, SIT, STAND and JUMP. And his reaction to all these words is almost spontaneous. Just yesterday he was jumping and one of us said "SIT" and he immediately reacted and sat down. This was followed by all of us clapping for him thus encouraging him. But little Rishab gave a confused look as he did not realize why we were clapping. I feel his brain makes him spontaneously react even before he understands that he has reacted.

Another very prominent change that we noticed in him, he has become very expressive. When he wants a particular thing he will make some sound to indicate it. Once we ignore his request, he will change his cry tone and make it more expressive for us to react. Sometimes he will leave us with no choice but to let him have it his way. We like to give in sometimes and at other time we are in awe - about how he gets it his way :-)

We have also seen him being patient at times. In mornings and evening when he know he will be taken down to play he will patiently wait for us to get ready and also allow people to get him ready. He will sit quietly observing us getting ready. Once we are ready and go over to him he will stretch out his hand to indicate "Carry Me and Let go out!!"

We have observed the start of another milestone, crawling... to reach out for objects, Rishab will raise his butt and try to go on his knees and will succeed to an extent but is still not so confident. He has also gathered enough strength to lift himself up to a standing position when we offer our hands to him. Lots of exciting moments ahead!!
