Happy Half Birthday PRINCESS!

With Mahi's Aunt and Sister visiting us from Brisbane for Easter,we decided to do her half Birthday during that time and it was soo much fun to have them around.
We invited a couple of close friends and my cousins and it was a nice little celebration. 
I had made a dress for mahi for her half birthday photo shoot and coordinated it with the backdrop and the balloons and managed to get some real good shots ............











For the evening I had a dress in my mind that I had seen a couple of days ago in a store and was really disappointed to know that they had moved some stuff to the other branch which was further away from our house and the dress has been moved too. I had lost all hopes as it was already late in the evening and only a few hours had left for the stores to shut down. Also,had no chance getting it the next morning because it was a Good Friday Close down. It was Aunt Shubha and Dadda who were determined to get the dress and we all drove to the other mall. Were Lucky enough to get our hands on it just a couple of minutes before the store closed.                                                         These are little gestures of love which mahi will never know and even I will tend to forget over years, therefore I love documenting it so that she knows how loved she is. 

All worth it!! 
 



Had totally fallen in love with the cake at the first sight ....



Blow the candle!! Make a wish :)

Six Month Milestone!!

Six Months already! 




This month's stats :-

Weight :- 6.7kg
Length :- 67cms

I was worried with the numbers because she just grew a little in both height and weight,but the doctor said that she is doing fine. Being strictly nursed for six months she would now begin to put on weight as we start her solids.
It's unbelievable how you watch these tiny little things change and grow with every passing day. A lot has changed now. She is constantly moving and is not the baby that could be left on the play mat and not be bothered about. I generally find her her in the extreme opposite corner of the room  in no time.



Out of the bed click! 

  Have been tasting  lots of new foods and  is in love with Sweet Potato.... 



Recently started with her home cooked rice cereal and I am glad that she is loving it.


She loves the trip to the mall close by and is very attentive and observant . There cant be a single sound that could go unnoticed by her. 

Like father,like daughter!! 

  "The little things that I do reaching my 6 month milestone" by mahi  :- 


- I Keep rolling over and over again. Love it!!
- Aim,Concentrate and grab anything that is in my reach and take it straight in my mouth.
- Make spit bubbles. Specially when mum is playing with me and her face is close.
-Roar!! I do try to scare people but they still keep laughing...huh
- I get excited to see dad,everyday when he comes back from work.
- I Scream louder than the previous month. Sometimes mom gives me company in doing so.
-Still love the taste of the label on my play mat than all the different type of teethers I have
- Very Very ticklish and dad sometimes take too much liberty of it.
- My vocabulary comprises of "da da" " Bu AA" "Ta Ta" and "Umm Umm" which mom likes to believe is "Mum" Mum" .....lol!!
-Still  love playing "hard to please".....It just ain't funny enough!!
-Love sweet potato and pears.
-Always  wake up with a broad smile on my face
- I am trying to sit up but can do so with my hands rested in front only for a couple of seconds yet.
-Sleeping 6-7hours through the night(waking up twice for a cuddle and feed) and taking half an hour naps if alone and 1-2 hour naps if mom gives me company during the day.
- I am a good girl and can play on my own but need my mum and only mum to go to sleep.


In short, I am happy and love being loved soo much!

Mahi starts her solids!! gobble gobble gobble

Yippe! My baby turns six months today and started with her solids. Trust me she has been giving me all signs of her being ready. She would continuously hawk at my food  and would literally run her eyes along with my hands while I ate. Also, she has started to stick her tongue out a bit too much recently,which they say is another sign. 

 We plan to introduce her to all kinds of vegetables before giving her any fruits. I feel like I have raised my brush to paint a blank canvas...lol!! But yes, definitely! the veggies go in first before she gets to taste the sweetness of the fruits. 

We started with the carrot today and this is how it went!! 

                 "Bring it On, I am so ready" 

 "Hey Dad! why is your wife taking that long to get my food"


" All righty ,lets do it! "



"Are you kidding me!! Is this what the whole fuss has been about?


"Firstly, I don't understand the flavor and secondly what's this thing she is putting in my mouth and not leaving it there for me to chew and explore. My thumb  like always is the most convenient and dependable option"



"Ok! Let's give it another try! "



 "Hey! I think I am beginning to like it"

 "Oh Yes! I Do"  

 " No no no!!  don't take it away :( I want some more"


Gobble Gobble Gobble!! developed a taste for carrots already... I ate almost half of what mum got and the rest I shared with my bib!!


So this is the kind of stuff you biggies have all the time!! hmm.......I am so ready for something new tomorrow but I know my mum is a little scared of what her friend told the other day,Something about how painful changing diapers are gonna be from now on!! Anyways:) time to hit the shower before I take a nap.
