17 months

Hey baby,

 Here we go again,documenting another month. You are seventeen months now and a chatter box!! I must say that though the fact of you growing up too fast makes me sad but whats also true is that I have started to have soo much fun with you now.You have gone so much better in communicating your needs and I can't be more proud of you for being such a quick learner.
You and your actions have gone so cute that after you sleep me and dad keep imitating you and it definitely brings a smile on our faces.
We have been so blessed to have you as our daughter!!

Love,
Mommy


We are going to a playgroup in a nearby church on Tuesdays and its nice to see her interact with other kids. She has already started showing traits of her being a Libra and is so easily bullied. The other day a guy pushed her and took the ball away and she said nothing,no crying no drama. My little peace maker!! I must be a terrible mother not to support her and watch her from a distance but to be honest I actually needed to observe how she dealt with the situation, After all I am just beginning to learn her personality as well.
Overall!! she always has a wonderful time there. 

 
She gets so excited to play with balls and while the other kids are exploring stuff around my "Miss Sincerely" goes on a hunt for all kinds of balls. 


Learning to come down the steps!! It was all carpeted and cushiony making it the best place to practice.


You love your daddy times and are always pretty excited and happy around him ( but for the one time when he clips your nails).

Apart from that you both are generally found like this ........



That's a perfect ROFL moment!! 


You hate to say a good bye to him in the morning when he leaves for work. He generally carries you around for a couple of minutes to ease you off the separation anxiety and then as he walks out of the door we head to the balcony to wave a good bye to him( this makes you less anxious).
                                                                                                                                                        
With your little baby, the bond is getting thicker and you are carrying it along everywhere also in the bath and poor thing has to dried out in the sun everyday. 





You are just getting naughtier,prettier and funnier by the day. 

Time out face for not being a good girl....



Love you soo much my little funny tubby!!

Let's go to the ZOO!!

After postponing Zoo for almost a month we finally made it there and I literally thank God for all the delay now. The reason being that Mahi has been learning about animals off late and it was like an educational tour for her packed with sooo much fun. We had heard soo much about how fun Sydney's Taronga zoo is and finally got to experience it.



Mountain Goats... The last time we saw them were on our way to the Everest Base Camp!



The Gorilla family! simply adorable..




Much to my surprise you were terrified to go near any animal( even the carved ones...haha) and I always thought you loved them(probably from a distance).You picked up the word Gorilla after meeting them and call them"Oillas".



We stopped to say a hi to the Eli. Yes! that's what she calls it because of the little Eli that her big sister Arshia had sent her. It was Arshia's (baby) toy which she parted with to let little sister mahi  have it when she was born.



After a nice lunch we headed further to let mahi feed the sheep and pat the bunny. Although she had a nice look at the sheep,the bunny and the Pig she could not feed them because my baby found the water table.....





And in goes my water lover!! 




We spent good one hour there and she was still not ready to come out. At least we know what to keep for the last when we come next. She loved every second of it and I was glad that the weather was warm enough,considering the rains that appear from nowhere these days......

Poor thing was absolutely exhausted with all the different ways she had exhibited her super excitement and we knew she needs to take a nap before we could continue.We set up a nice cozy patch and after rocking her to sleep we dozed off too.


Woke up all Fresh!! 



 And you little monkey, in your diff moods!! 


The New things you learnt :-

1. Oillas( your interpretation for Gorillas)
2. Aany ( It's bunny)
3. OP! OP! ( that's a HOP for the bunny)
4. EEEER ( Sorry TIGER)
5. PEEG( PIG is clearer)
6.OIN OIN ( is OINK! that a pig does)



We had a great time and the best part was that we took it easy...... actually so easy that we must have covered,not even the half of it...ha ha!!  Guess,it will be nice to pick up from where we left in the next visit.....

Yippee! Mommy is behind the lens again

The camera breaking incident left us quite depressed and though we tried to catch a few moments through our phone it was still not the same. Two weeks of wait lead to an even better surprise and daddy got us an upgraded Nikon model, Yippee!! worth the wait I guess.
I have developed quite an appetite to click pictures and felt starved all this while, therefore as soon as we got our new camera we went wild!! 
Totally in love with the 17th month photo shoot...... be warned of the many many pictures!! 


My Little REBEL!! 





What content face watching "Mr. Maker". A craft show which she adores. Quite a mommy's girl!!


I must be a terrible mother but I had no other way to bribe her to be seated in the stroller than to get her high on sugar the other day. Hopefully the last time. Mahi's enjoying her first lolly!!


This little traveler never ever sleeps in the car seat. She is always so inquisitive to look out of the window and would point at trees and go "T" and "BIRDY"


A good girl who helps mom around a lot in cleaning!! Yes we use the broom on the rug...                      Gen NEXT!! 


Always happy after the nap!! 



  Out in the garden soaking up the Autumn Sun!! 




We are so glad to have mommy behind the lens again!! LIFE IS GOOD :)
