Pappa got the new Honda Activa -White - today around 1:15PM

I am hoping for all things best as always… and wish they continue better…

More on this some time…

 

Around 2pm today, mommy called to inform that today darling bubbles directed her attention towards the blackboard to write something on it…

And then deducing that anything that is black can be written upon with chalk… went up to the LCD screen and tried to write on it

 

albeit she was stopped mid way in this attempt but it shows how the brain has been linking relations between objects and action and events…

 

wOw.. the brain is such an important organ…. And how it learns….

Wish I was a brain doctor..

 

It is the 16^th month and 4^th day today

Yesterday my baby fell from the bed in her sleep… about 3 ft to the floor on her back and hit her head on the floor…

This is her 6^th fall from a height and I Am feeling really guilty about all the times she has fallen… I take full responsibility for any effect this would have on her in terms of her emotional and physiological growth

 

Her first incident I remember occurred on 27^th Feb 2010 when she was just about 5 months old and had just started propelling herself on her back pushing her legs.

I was in the computer room and bujju had come to talk to me for some reason.

Just in that couple of minutes, bubbu pushed herself off the bed and fell.. bawling at the hit…

 

My mom was very upset with the whole incident.. blaming her d-i-l for this lack of care and being so lackadaisical in taking care of the baby.. another excuse to add on to why she would not like the ways of her d-i-l

 

The other falls happened in Bombay.. all of them were due to our nay my Lack of Attention and being a careless dad…

 

So of all these 6 falls, the last one seemed to be the most shock-inducing for me and maybe for her too.. for falling off the bed in your sleep can lead to trauma and I am scared at the whole thought of letting her be on her own… away from me… I have lost my temper and have abused the woman of the house for this .. as she went on blaming me for the whole thing.. as she does every time..

 

Have been upset at myself for the lack of time and lack of organized thought process I need so badly to ensure a decent life ahead…

Things seem to be falling apart and the baby is growing up so fast in all this chaos… seeing her lights up my life and time and I don’t want this time to go away.. but alas.. I have probably never imagined how it would be to be a dad of a baby and a toddler.. and now that I am in that phase.. it is passing away so fast…

 

My darling is learning so fast that I can’t now keep things at a level where she can reach them

She has started using the sitting stool to climb up and remove things which are beyond her arms length.. and she has started banging the mouse to get the computer to play her songs… on realplayer.

She has started to throw the ball over her head over the last month

 

She is doing so much so fast…and I am missing on keeping those memories intact.. for the precious moments come and go fleeting past with no way for my brain to store them in their original form…

 

 

15month blues

bubbu darling has started teething... been 3 weeks now.. after we came back from Baroda

the trip out of bombay from 11th till 21st has been very tellign on her health

her routine changed so she has been behaving very differently

 

also has shown symptoms of frustration - bangs her head on the floor.. or strikes her palms against her forehead...

probably signs she has copied from us.. for we too have been very impatient with each other lately...

that should not interfere in her upbringing but it does... given thaT we are nuclear and have no household help...

 

but yes, she also started taking her first steps since the end of Dec '10 around the 28th or so... when she took her first few steps...
