Today a new world open to angel..world of crawling….yes u heard it right…she almost* crawled today…
So from now on she will be less dependent on…atleast she can go and grab pillow and any other stuff on bed on her own.. She was moving backward and sideway from long but she never was able to grab things which are bit away..but she did it today..
she got a gift from my sil ..a bird which makes amazing sound and walk…Angel was so captivated with this bird that she tried a lot to catch it when bird moves away from her…she was doing it from last 3-4 days and got success today
Doesnt this an amazing age..i cant believe how much she has changed in such a short span of time..it seems she is like lil girl than baby A happy , friendly , enthusiastic , fearless lil girl
and here is my smiling baby after her achievement of month
But this also means i have to be more careful from now on..if i lay her in middle of bed even she can move and go till end..OMG how u mummies handle this stage…isnt is too scary..what if she fell from bed…normally i never leave her alone in room…but u know u cant trust kids..even when i m in room and just for a while not looking at her she can crawl and come till end…..I shd actually stop thinking negative…every kid go through this stage and its normal…
I think most of the parents would agree that parenthood or specially motherhood brings a feeling of guilt….and right now i m on guilt trip..
Weather is changing here and its bit of cold these days…HD adviced me last week to cover angel..with full sleeves clothes ..I dont know why i took it lightly.,I felt it’s not that cold and she can still wear her normal stuff..thought i started using full pants instead of half..but top were normal either half or without sleeves…
three days back she showed symptoms of cold like taking breath heavily and a kind of sound was coming from her nose which comes when its start of cold for you…i did home remedy to cure it….and to some extent that helped too. This saturday we went to my fren’s place to wish him for his baby girl…Other office buddies also planned to come at same time so that we all can meet….I was too excited to meet them as its been long for me to catch up with my office buddies..In my over excitement i didnt notice that this may exhaust angel..We spent 6hrs out of house including 2 hrs of commuting time…needless to say angel get super exhausted and got severe cold and minor cough and fever…her running nose and sad face made me feel like hell.
the girl who use to smile 100 times a day is just not smiling now…
the girl who was super active and use to make her mother tired is now laying like a sad lazy fellow
the girl whose legs and arms use to never stop moving while awake is just silent now …
the girl who use to eat anything whatever her mommy use to feed is now hardly taking milk even
the girl who use to sleep quietly whole night has not slept properly from last two nights…
And here is her mother cursing herself why the heck i didnt take things seriously..May be i became over-confident mother as angel never fall sick till now..this is her first time..
Took her to doc yesterday and now giving medicine…i hate giving medicine to her but there is no other way..she is bit better today but not completely ok.. I know am trying my best to get rid of this sickness but this guilt inside me is bothering me more !!…sigh
Two States – thats chetan bhagat recent book…which i read luckily…After having angel..its kind of touch to catch up on my activities and interest..I am not kind of book loving person but really love reading all CB’s book…infact his “one night at call center” was the first one i read completely
Story is simple but way of narration is simply superb..
Boy loves girl. Girl loves boy.They get married.
In India, there are few more steps
Boy loves girl, Girl loves boy.
Girls family has to love boy. Boy’s family has to love girl,
Girl’s family has to love boy’s family.Boy’s family has to love girl’s family.
Girl boy still managed to love each other .they get married
This is what is written at back of book and summarize whole story… There is guy krish who loves south indian beauty ananaya swaminathan…Falling in love is easy but to materialise it till marriage is not peice of cake.They met in IIMA campus and got mad for each other..Soon college life got over and they got job in different company. pre=””>Krish managed to get posted in Chennai which is ananaya’s hometown…He tried his level best through his amusing ways to impress them by giving coaching to younger brother Manju , giving chance of singing at concert to her mother , helping dad with his office work In second part its ananya’s turn to plead krish’s family and she also did it well..problem came when family have to meet…Well i m not gonna write whole story here..go and grab the book..its worth reading !!!
There is good comparison between south indian and north indian living style and mentality. He tries to make fun of both so that nobody feel offended Like for what marble flooring is for north indian family ..its iit degree for south indian
There is important lesson also which i like most.. ” Forgiving – For you ..forgiving doesnt make the person who hurts you feel better…it makes you feel better” ..so apt and true !!
There is something different in chetan’s writing style which makes me hooked to it until i finish it..though for this one i took 1 week to finish…like my homework i use to read it mostly at night or early morning hours
My lil angel is 5months old now…my big girl…she actually look like a big baby..
Angel’s 5month update
she can roll over easily now and luv sitting in this position..however as she cannot come back to original position so cries after 5mins
Started giving semi solid food…she like wheat /rice cerelac….however i have to push a bit to give porridge or any dal water to her….she like apple juice too…
she always crave for attention…she is doing this from 2nd month itself..but this month its kinda more…i cannot leave her alone even for 5min….if i do she will scream in her highest pitch..
she started sleeping on side….if i try to make her straight..she will rollover in fraction of seconds
she has become more active now….always want to hold some or other think in her hand…and try to gallop every thing in her mouth…as if her mouth is as big as universe and can accomodate everything including sofa , bed , chair , clothes , teddy bear..etc etc.
I luv singing few poems for her..she listen to them carefully..though i knew only 2-3 poems only…Uff my knowledge abt poems is so poor …I remember Johny , Johny – yes papa …one fully…
Her sleep has reduced a lot…At day time she hardly sleeps…..but night are much peaceful…
Her bath tub seems to be short now….she move her arm leg and leg at such a fast pace inside tub sometime tub just rolled over…i have to be very careful now..
It takes more time to feed her now as she just turn her face even with miniature sound …while taking semi solid food she nearly inhale spoon with my hand too
she expresses herself in her own way…like when she is hungry its grrrrr….like saying give me food fast ..when she want to sleep she cry in her loudest pitch…when she is just want to go out..mostly in evening time..she will start crying and look toward gate…
When she wake up in morning and i smile at her saying good morning she smiles back at me..even she is half sleep…
she smiles a lot…u just have to widen ur lips a bit ..and she will give u back a widened smile..and if i make funny sound…she laugh like anything… Its possible that u fall in love more with your child ..the more u stay with her…these smiley moments in early morning hours make me feel..how much happiness she has brought in my life…i dont want anything else now…
When she is in dadi’s hand and i go to her room…she talks to me in her own language..like ua ua aaa aaa..as if she was saying where were u mom….i was missing u 
and now she also try to come to me..yesterday she just push her arm a bit toward me when she was in her dadi’s lap….
she doesnt like her potty box…always start crying badly ..whenever i try to make her sit on it….
Moment of month -> I finished call with my mom and put mobile near to her…and went to kitchen to prepare some food …she just pressed some button and call went to mom again….when i came back to room..my dad was saying hello hello and she was making her regular aa aaa sound….I was like..did she dialed phone…for 2mins i was nearly stunned and happy too….my lil one can make phone calls on her own to nani and nanu…
A very Happy Karwa Chauth to all the ladies of blog samaj……
North Indians must know about this. It is most important fast observed by married hindu women for the welfare and long life of their hubby …..now a days college girls also keep this for their boy friends In this fast you need to eat as much is possible before sunrise….and then in day no food no water…You can have food only in evening after seeing moon..
Karwa chauth day preparation starts one day in advance…like parlour sitting and mehndi…After a long time i spent few hours in parlour…it was too crowdy…it seems like all ladies in my locality gathered in same parlour…its good time for them to cash some money….Next venture was to get mehndi…there again long line in market….Mehndi wala charges triple amount than normal on the night before karwa chauth..Here are my mehndi hands
Got up 4:00 in the morning to grab some food and water….Oh my god how much i ate at such weird..three aloo paratha , fenni ( its sweet dish spplly made for this occasion ) , banana shake , and some fruits and lot of water
Now whole day no food , no water…There is pooja at home in evening where all ladies who are observing this fast will gather at my place and will sit in round circle with a special mud pot, that is considered a symbol of lord Ganesha, a metal urn filled with water, flowers, idols of Ambika Gaur Mata, Goddess Parwati and some fruits, mathi and food grains. We also need to give some gift to MIL…I have brought one lovely suit for ther…Will give it to her in evening..
then one lady will narrate the karwa story…
KARWA STORY
“A long long time ago, there lived a beautiful princess by the name of Veeravati. When she was of the marriageable age, Veeravati was married to a king. On the occasion of the first Karva Chauth after her marriage, she went to her parents’ house.”
“After sunrise, she observed a strict fast. However, the queen was too delicate and couldn’t stand the rigours of fasting. By evening, Veeravati was too weak, and fainted. Now, the queen had seven brothers who loved her dearly. They couldn’t stand the plight of their sister and decided to end her fast by deceiving her. They made a fire at the nearby hill and asked their sister to see the glow. They assured her that it was the moonlight and since the moon had risen, she could break her fast.”
“However, the moment the gullible queen ate her dinner, she received the news that her husband, the king, was dead. The queen was heartbroken and rushed to her husband’s palace. On the way, she met Lord Shiva and his consort, Goddess Parvati. Parvati informed her that the king had died because the queen had broken her fast by watching a false moon. However, when the queen asked her for forgiveness, the goddess granted her the boon that the king would be revived but would be ill.”
“When the queen reached the palace, she found the king lying unconscious with hundreds of needles inserted in his body. Each day, the queen managed to remove one needle from the king’s body. Next year, on the day of Karva Chauth, only one needle remained embedded in the body of the unconscious king.”
“The queen observed a strict fast that day and when she went to the market to buy the karva for the puja , her maid removed the remaining needle from the king’s body. The king regained consciousness, and mistook the maid for his queen. When the real queen returned to the palace, she was made to serve as a maid.”
“However, Veeravati was true to her faith and religiously observed the Karva Chauth vrat . Once when the king was going to some other kingdom, he asked the real queen (now turned maid) if she wanted anything. The queen asked for a pair of identical dolls. The king obliged and the queen kept singing a song ” Roli ki Goli ho gayi… Goli ki Roli ho gayi ” (the queen has turned into a maid and the maid has turned into a queen).”
“On being asked by the king as to why did she keep repeating that song, Veeravati narrated the entire story. The king repented and restored the queen to her royal status. It was only the queen’s devotion and her faith that won her husband’s affection and the blessings of Goddess Parvati.”
At night i will see the reflection of moon in a glass or thali of water and then i will offer water to moon..its a way of seeking blessing..
And ya most important thing….HD will also give me some gift in eve…i dont know yet what it is….Let see when he opens his surprise
P.S -> Karwa story courtsey to google
Aa Mi Ma Aa Mi Ma
thats what angel said last night…Like a normal night scene…me and mil were trying hard to get her to sleep and she was crying …and suddenly she said….”Aa Mi Ma A Mi Ma…hubby just shouted and said “did you listen what she said…..I dont know i was in which extreme thought i just didnt listen and felt bad…
then suddenly she repeated it again..” Ma Mi Ma Ma…….
and i literally jumped off from bed…it was amazing feeling ..i felt like on top of world…tried hard so that she can speak the same line again….repeated 100 of time Ma Ma in front of her….but she keep on smiling on me…as if she is saying…” I will not repeat my valuable words ”
It is possible to fall in love with your child more and more the longer you know them…and I have fallen even more in love with my little girl after she said these words..
Few days back around 5 :00 in the morning we were sleeping and angel was laying between us and making sounds aa ao aa ao….like she normally keep on making and suddenly she said pa pa…..we dont know whether she actually said…or it was just our interpretation…but me and hd both felt the same that she said pa… After hearing this our sleep lost and we just felt so happy…..sometime its tough to pen your feelings….
I think my lil girl is growing big so soon….Wish to hear more Pa and Ma from u soon angel
Luv u a lot my princess !!!!

You know you are mom when
- the best pleasure you feel in world is seeing Angel getting up in morning with a broad smile on face
- when she recognise you among others and cry when somebody else pick her up ..even her dad
- when ur 3yr old nephew calls you baby ki mummyinstead of bua
- who soever calls up…first question…howz angel…
- when ur point of worrying these days are – ooh she hasnt done potty today, why she is sleeping too much today, why she is not sleeping at all today , should we start giving semi solid food or is it too early
- the best shopping place is kid section of any shopping complex……yesterday shopping cart – potty box, baby shoes, cap , baby tshirts, teether , waterproof sheets……and list goes on and on…
- you like talking to those frens only…who either have young kids or to be moms ….
- when u think 10 times to leave her alone for 1min work and later on decide to not leave and wait for granny or dad to come and sit with you
Just a wish for you my darling princess
May the long time sun
Shine upon you
All love surround you
May the pure light
Within you
Guide your way on
- Snatam Kaur
My 3month old angel is fond of laptop….yes u heard it right….she luvs peeping into screen whenever i m doing some thing on it…and if i switch it off or try to turn her face to other side..she starts crying…..
Same is story with TV…me and HD play with her..swich off tv when she is starring at it…and then she will furiously turn her neck here and there to search for it….sometime she also make angry face if we try to deviate her…
And her fav pose is boxing ….like this…
