Milestones so far..

Babies are adorable.. no arguments there. But its one thing to see others babies and play with them once in a while and another thing to bringing up your own baby.. being with them day in day out, everyday, seeing them grow and learn. It's an experience for lifetime where you too grow as a parent and learn along with your baby.
Akshara is 6 months old now and lot of milestones to celebrate :)
Month 1: We celebrated the day 1 of this month, we welcomed our little one in to our world with lot of joy and happiness. She was a natural. She latched on so easily to drink milk as if she has been doing it for the past 9 months. All she needed this month was milk, lots of sleep and loads of pee pee poo poo to be cleaned up. She wouldn't even react to any toy. But yes, she SMILED! We celebrated that for sure!
Month 2: Sometime during this month, she started reacting to toys. She could roll her eye balls along with the toy. She could perfectly track the toy as we moved it in front of her. Super duper. We rejoiced :)
Month 3: She was named this month. Akshara Koppineedi. Celebrated in a big way and loads of gifts. Her first pattu langa. Her first Flight travel. And yes.. she arrived home. Blore! We were exhilarated.
Month 4: She started giggling, chuckles, screams.. we had it all. And yeah from rolling her eyes, she was now trying to reach out for that toy. Hand eye co-ordination yayy! and more.. neck movement too. She could turn her neck in the direction of the toy she wanted!! yippie! Her first new year party. Her first play gym experience.
Month 5: She lifted her legs up, perpendicular, turned sideways and yeah,,.. she rolled over!! Initially struggled to take the hand stuck below her, but soon that was also achieved! quick learner there! Her first pongal.
Month 6: Solids!! Started on cerelac. She loved it. She started crawling. but yeah backwards. Reverse gear worked first :) Bonded big time with her granpa, granma and baamma.

There have been bad days, tough days, fun days.. complete roller coaster for life!
