It is hard to believe that Ashwini’s first birthday is approaching so quickly. One more month to go. That’s it.

    Ashwini is:

  • trying to pull herself up to stand all the time. It is just a matter of days before she does it without any efforts.
  • crawling cruising around the house at great speed.
  • learning to speak new sounds everyday. V is trying to teach her to call me 'baba', but, she already likes to call me 'baap'.
  • in love with her books. She prefers them instead of toys, except the piano in this photo. Maybe, we need to get some more interesting toys.
  • learning to dance to tunes of the piano.
  • continuing to admire herself in the mirror at every opportunity she gets.
  • trying to do things such as picking up cheerios without looking at her hand.
  • trying to do things such as picking up toys by looking at the image in the mirror.
  • interested in throwing all kinds of objects on the floor while sitting in her high-chair or bed or changing table. She likes to watch them fall and scatter around the room.
  • eating very well after recovering from her cold, cough and other illnesses.
  • eating mixed foods like corn & sweet potatoes, green beans & potatoes, etc.
  • sleeping through most nights, but sometimes wakes up to drink more milk.
