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 16th month and 4th 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 6th 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 27th 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…
Our sweet baby started showing more confidence since yesterday 27th Dec 10. This is in addition to all the other memorable things she has showered us with… by her quick learning antics.
She took more than 2 of her baby steps without support… which starts her on her way to being the complete person she is designed to be…
She is understanding her body balance given she now walks faster with bigger steps while taking support of our single finger….
She listens attentively and she responds with her monosyllables
Her extended vocab now includes an emphatic ‘dha dha’ when she is excited to see something…
When she sees decorative lights, she is exclaiming emphatically…
She has tried to imitate a doggy ‘bhow bhow’ and is getting close to it.. also noticed she is now imitating a crows cawing…
A couple of days back she had tried to imitate my gargling also…
I will have to sit in peace and describe her to us and to herself… when she reads about it when she needs to..
Been ages I wrote over the last 6 months… lots to share but can’t really express it when there is no time, no focus and there is too many thoughts to share with my only world… my baby!!!
Still hope I can write sometime soon all that I want her to know about herself and how we perceived her to give the additional boost of confidence and determination …
As on 21/12/10… My darling sweetheart has started taking her independent steps from today as reported by Mummy dear… hesitant but definitely the attempt is there..
She has been scared of falling and injuring herself as she has fell multiple times hitting her head on the floor…
She has been in Baroda and Indore after 9 months of stay in Bombay… and with all the people around in the marriage setting.. surely that has given her a boost of confidence it seems..
More on this soon..
