Sweet..

(not anymore) Boy...
has grown, he is going to be 8 months in a couple of days and he looks amazing A.M.A.Z.I.N.G with a sigh!!! Handsome as I saw him in my dreams :) and naughty as well.
Big beautiful eyes, amazingly handsome smile and now he coo's all the time and oh he laughs such a contagious laughter, even if I m upset it cheers me up.

Yesterday after I reached home, he went on with his singing 'da da da da da' and he just wouldn't stop. After he started saying 'am am am' which we concluded meant Amma, which was couple of months back, he just wudn't say anything else. And now with his cute 'da da da da' we are all concluding that he is saying 'dada' like chiku(her first words were daada, dachi, daaddy and not mumma mummy or whatever she wanted to call me). How mean is that!!!

He is so comfortable with his crawling now, and knows the places where he needs to check me, like if I am in the bedroom or he strains his neck to check if I am in the balcony, and if I am not he starts his crawling and doesn't stop till he reaches the Kitchen. This is even if I am calling him from another room or someplace else he wouldn 't stop till he is sure that I really am not in the kitchen.

He has such a darling look about himself, when you call out to him and he comes crawling and then he finds u looking at him and oh me gosh, there he smiles, his eyes twinkle and a blob of spit (Chiku n I call it 'thuki') just escaping his sweet lips.

He loves to reach out and stands so confidently holding on to anything, the trolley doors in the kitchen, the cabinet doors in the sitting area, walls, our legs, our clothes just about anything ya. Loves to grab his toys and throw it on the floor. He is trying to find a way to go back down on the floor, once he has done whatever he wants to do, standing.

When he is in his crib, he confidently moves around holding on to the crib railing. The other day, it was so funny to watch him, sort of toggle back n forth, looking at our food. He looked like Donald Duck walking back n forth.

He is such a foodie, can eat anything he lays his hands on. He always always and always is eyeing our colorful palate. Yesterday, I saw him enjoying some dal-rice with Amma.

His crawling is so cute, he pushes his entire self on his left hand and then right hand and instead of traversing straight, his head goes in the direction of his hands, so it goes at an angle.
Last evening, he crawled till the kitchen, instead of crawling few more paces ahead, he stretched his neck n peeped at me, then when I looked at him, he smiled his naughty smile, continued to crawl and then reached me.
