Has it already been 22 months?

Today our little munchkin turns 22 months! Cant believe how past 2 years almost flew away….This morning I woke up and as I told Gauri that today she is turning 22 Months, I said to myself – “holy Cow – she is going to be 2 in just about 2 months!!” Its truly unbelievable and I am surprised where did the past two years slip away….I still remember holding her for the very first time in my arms….my first glance at her and my very first words – “She is mine ….all mine….she is my daughter…..she is SOOOO Beautiful” with tears flowing down my cheeks and my heart throbbing with excitement of holding that wonderful, beautiful, precious little baby who was definitely all mine. And soon she is turning 2 – unbelievable. These past 6 months I have not been able keep upto speed in writing about her new activities – part of the reason – I just cant catch up with the speed at which she is learning new things, discovering new ideas, speaking new words and now sentences (her Favorite sentence these days is - I want MY…so and so…), showing new emotions, new attitude (yes I mean ATTITUDE – sometimes she truly acts like a toddler – did they call it “Terrible Twos”?? I believe it now), her likes, dislike and strong favorites. So it has been almost impossible to pen-down every night what new thing happened that day because she really is doing new stuff every single day.

Her latest achievement these days is using the toilet and she call it “my Elmo Potty” and she loves it. She likes the idea of having her very own Elmo potty to go on and she is definitely getting aware of when she needs to use it. Its been almost 3 weeks now that she has been using it and last 8 days she has also been able to tell us when she needs to go. Although sometimes she just loves the idea of using it and sitting on it reading her fav “Pepper-book” and the toilet tissue and the flush….and its sometimes impossible to convince her to get down. But I feel happy that potty training for us has been not so difficult task so far. Thank you Gauri for making it so easy for Mumma and Baba.

Apart from Elmo - her biggest obsession, she is also crazy about water….not only does she loves to play in her little pool, she loves to water her plants and sneak behind me and wash wash wash her hands and splash water everywhere….:o( not so much fun for me to cleanup and change her and take her away from water.

Oh and she definitely has her favorite person picked up – who other than her Baba…

the kid adores him and is crazy about him. No wonder she stops eating and gets cranky when daddy is away on business trips. I feel sorry for her when she runs upstarirs to look for her daddy and then in the basements and when he is found no-where she’ll bring the phone up to me asking “Mamma,….Baba phone please”…..truly daddy little girl.

Well I could just go on and on writing about her new activities but I’ll resort to posting more pictures with some titles instead. Our little baby is turning into a little girl for sure and she is getting even more adorable and fun and life’s getting full of excitement.
