Week 31

This week was momentous. Veer sat up. He had been doing it for like 10 seconds at a time, but this week he can stretch a full 3-4 minutes. He even sat and played by himself a couple of times when I was in the kitchen. This week was also the mark of him getting in trouble and me being a bad mommy. I left him on the couch on Saturday because it looked like he was going to fall asleep and I went upstairs. A few minutes later I hear a thud and a cry. That little monkey rolled off the couch onto the “coffee” ottoman we have and then on the floor. When I found him he was on his belly and was crying. A minute later he was fine. I wonder how badly he was hurt; it couldn’t have been that much since he literally stopped a minute after I picked him up. I felt guilty the whole day so I babied him and wouldn’t put him down. I feel like he’s starting to manipulate us already. I will put him in his little play gym and go in the kitchen to cook. As soon as I am out of his sight, he’ll start crying. As soon as I come and play with him, he’s happy as a pig in mud. He knows if he “cries” he will get what he wants. That little monster!

I think he is getting his teeth too. Or is about ready too. He was really out of character this last Sunday. Would cry all the time, wanted to be held, runny nose.  He has been doing really well at daycare. When I picked him up the other day he was on the floor reading a book and by reading I mean licking. But my favorite part of daycare is picking him up. Because he now recognizes me, he smiles as soon as I get there and then wants to be held. Even more fun is the ride home. I already know he is going to be a chatterbox because the whole 7 minute ride home he talks. It’s adorable!

This is him this morning in the jolly jumper that Jalpa masi gave him:

Week 30

The week was pretty uneventful. I noticed that the air was really dry in Veer’s room so we got a humidifier. It works okay but I don’t know if it’s me but I expect the machine to get the room pretty humid in a short period of time. It takes forever and even at that I only noticed a small difference. It’s really hard for me to leave it on for 24 hours. I just don’t like it. Plus the cleaning. I wish they were self-maintained. Or I wish we had a fairy who did it every week. That and fold laundry.

Here's Veer trying to sit up and then two seconds later fall:

Week 29

So many things happened that it’s hard to say it’s only been a week where I had no updates. He still is having a hard time rolling back over once he is on his tummy. But he started sleeping on his tummy. It started about 10 days ago, we noticed that he started sleeping on his side and all of a sudden a couple of nights ago we found him on his belly in the morning. When he is reclining on a pillow, he pushes himself up and sits up He also can sit up without help for about 30 seconds. Then he falls. Occasionally he’ll cry but most of the time he thinks it’s funny that he fell. He’s a good baby about eating his food. He finishes it in like 10 minutes but still gives us a hard time with the milk. I wonder where he gets that from. I don’t really like mil... wait, this blog is about him. Back to the baby. We noticed that he has had a diaper rash for the last few days. I read online that it could be many things and one was a change in diet. So for now, I’m not too concerned. Most of the times, he stays up during the ride home from daycare, which he never did before. 30 seconds in the car and he was out. Depending on how his day goes at day care now he likes to tell me about it.

Week 28

I have been thinking about what I’m going to post for this weeks blog entry and I came up with nothing. I mean each day is different but nothing new happened since last week. We are still trying to different veggies. I think he is taking it find although we noticed his cheeks were a little dry and almost “sun burnt” yesterday. I wonder if it’s the weather or the food. We’ll find out soon.

I recently found of that Siddhi is expecting in May and it reminded me of my pregnancy. To tell you the truth I forgot the little details of being 7 months pregnancy (thank god for this blog, it’s just a few clicks away). Anyways, I was thinking of the things I miss and thing I am glad are over. Here’s my list. I’ll be sure to add things as I go. Haha
