ponutti turns 9 months today!!

Its hard to believe ponutti turned nine months today. Looking back, I have had wonderful moments (which is obvious) and some bitter experiences as well. The bitter part is something I wish to keep to myself. Its not very uncommon , of course, most of us must have gone through the 'baby blues' and problems with breastfeeding, as you call it. And those who havent are really lucky.But no one can escape the trouble and fun which comes with raising a child. Its always a new day for the baby as well as for us.

Im a mother who believes in spending quality time with my daughter b'coz you will never know in what way will it affect her. I have read that the more the time you spend with her, the more faster will her motor skills develop.They even mention reading and talking to her very often, which will help her develop her linguistic skills. But in the end, every kid has her/his own pace of development.Now just waiting for her to take her first step :) 

My ponutti:)

My day with ponutti begins with her waking up and standing holding on to the bed rail. She just loves doing that. You put her on the sofa or bed, she would crawl towards the rail and stand up. Shes been doing this ever since she was 5 months old. Now she has conquered another developmental milestone , which is pulling up and standing alone for a few minutes. Oh Im just waiting hard for her to start walking. I have heard from other mommies that it will start getting real troublesome after achieving this feat.

As I type this post, ponutti is taking her usual 12:30 nap.Its always a fun filled, entertaining and even intriguing day as you just dont know what she would do next or even achieve next. Its these li'l things like her baby talk or her getting fussy over a toy she badly wants to hold for a moment and then throw away to some corner, that brings so much more life to the day. In fact , everyday with ponutti is filled with fun.

I love to see her play, scrutinize the toys or something that shes just found or even standing up for awhile and then bending to pick a toy from the floor. I wonder if she gets bored seeing me the whole day. No wonder she reaches for the maid or achan when they come home.She just loves to get pampered or cuddled and kissed after shes played to her hearts content.

I just want to get transported to 22nd dec. I just cant wait for my parents to see her (they havn't seen her since she was 3months). But I also know that time will fly in my case, because I have ponutti to take care of, I have got to do the household (for which my hubby helps me ) and I have got to study for my MBA. With all this happening, I'm pretty sure 22nd dec will come in a blink of  an eye.
