I must say time flies.. specially after the first birthday... I remember just writing sometime back about his first birthday and now he's already 15 months.
Last months progress has been very satisfying and quick.. The good news is Rishab is now sleeping full night without getting up... Oh.. its a relief after..14 months of waking up each night twice (minimum) we are finally sleeping full night. For parents who children still get up will really envy me.. and for those who kids are sleeping all night would understand my relief. As it is I was never a night person so having a disturbed night sleep was the last thing I wanted. Thanks to my friend Priyas suggestion and my hubbys cooperation we managed to train Rishab to sleep full night. It took us 3 weeks and its done now.
Now on the diaper training .. going on fine for the day.. accidents still happen... but every new thing take some time to learn right? So we keep encouraging each time he pees in the potty ... Hopefully it should be better next month.
On other thing we stopped was giving him grinded food..how did it happen ?? Well a friend from India visited Singapore and taking her and her hubbys advice we decided to try out. Thanks Aarti, you know the discussion .. was quiet scary but nevertheless solved our problem. We also started with parathas.. but Rishab is sometimes too lazy to bite.. he loves to swallow his food. This is quiet a problem .. cause the food will go in the wrong gullet and my dearest son will puke out every single grain in his stomach.. I way of showing his emotions I guess. However we started one more ritual this month to try to make him eat on his own. Everynight the last 2 -3 spoons are kept for Rishab to practise. He will pick-up his food with the spoon and put in his mouth.. then whoever is present around him should clap for him. Although most of the times the food falls off and only the spoon reaches the mouth we still encourage him... Kids really need lots of encouragement.
His development on the talking front has been quiet good... He learn the ई (eeeee) alphabet this month... Which was quiet a development.. !! After this he was able to finally call "Nani" for my monther.. otherwise my dad and mom were both called "NANA". My name has also changed from "Mama" to "Mummmy". My mom reads the Bhagvad Gita daily, so Rishab has also started saying "Gita" when he want the book. he says "Boo" for book, "baby" is baby, "bed" for bread when Papa eact breakfast, "more" when he want more of something, "over" when he is done with his food, for bubbles he says "bubbee" and bumble bee is "bumbee" for ball its "ba" for bounce its "bou" for bed its "be", where is "we" and wear is also "we" , here is "here" and this is "this" sit is "si" dog is "do-geee", wheel is "whee", hay is "hay". Nowadays he confuses with nana nani papa mammy when he calls us.. I guess it because of the the excitement.
The other day I showed him the photos of animals and he could easiy say the sounds... cows says "moo" dog say "bow bow" cat say "mi" sheep says "baba" horse says "nay-nay" lion say "roar" (he make some scary noise which i can write down for the lion). He loves seeing youtube on the laptop.. though we try to limit it.. he just loves to laugh at some of the videos.. His favorites from youtube are is the "Appu series vol 1" "Wheels of the bus" "5 little monkeys jumping on the bed" "Snow flakes are falling" "Twinkle twinkle "(the owl version).
We also did away with the baby tub we used to bathe him in. So just like big boys, he takes a bath standing.
It so weird to see him grow so fast.. Now i realise we have already packed up so many thing... starting from the specially selected baby clothes .. to the swing.. to the walker .. to the shoes and socks... and now the tub.. All gone in over a year...so fast!!
Last month we also celebrated the Ganpati festival and for Rishab the important thing was to get to eat "modak" and "seera".He totally loved it. We also took him to the "West Coast Park " for his first sand experience.. and he totally loved it. we too him sand play toys and he loved filling the container with sand and emptying it ... he also loved walking in the sand to my surprise.
On the physical development too he is doing quiet well.. now he can climb up small hills and can go up the slide alone ... bring himself to turn and sit in the direction of going down the slide .. and then slide down all on his own.. This might seem like a simple thing for all of us.. but for a baby to go up and then get sense of doing the things i have described above is quiet a task to learn... It obvious to us.. but when you see a baby doing it.. you can understand how much effort it take to undertsand the whole thing. Beside this he can also climb the sofa set and from there the clmb further up to the window sill almost effortlessly. In actions he can show "3 blind mice" rhyme and "twinkle twinkle" and "london bridge is falling down" and of later he shows "beautiful eyes" by blinking his eyes... and this one is hilarious. I
Just sharing one video https://picasaweb.google.com/110030338176687730236/Oct42012?authkey=Gv1sRgCOO66-SW2f_cfA#5795372453591646850.
Anyways the coming month planning to take him to the Zoo and to Sentosa.. waiting to see his reactions.
Thats all of now.!!
