this is a keepsakes

Im sure you will hear this a thousand times over in your life time. What you did when you were 6 months old. I want to just make sure you read it here - words filled with the pride that a parent has. You are the naughtiest of all the 6 month olds I have EVER seen. Mom tells me, that I was naughtier, but thats just the mom in her talking. (maybe when you read this, you are going to roll your eyes and go - M..oooo....M! but hey! if my mom is proud of me, I have all rights to be proud of the creature I carried around for 9 months too :) ) So, we go to Cantoment, to visit A's son (a cutie he is, I must say - A and I have already begun matchmaking you guys, like a couple of old hags :P ... dont get any ideas though, he is a full 3 months younger to you). So, anyways, we go there, and he is just so cute that I want to hold him immediately (ME! I used to hate kids and stay away from them like the plague, you my dear baby, have truly changed me in more ways than one), so rambling back, I hold him in my hands and make all these coo-ing noises that you have usually heard me making FOR YOU. you my little devil get all jealous and lean over to him and pull his hair and pinch his hands and kick him and head butt him. Nothing works. Comon! what did you think? the poor A Junior is just sitting there wide eyed and confused about why you are acting such... you repeat the process again and this time with more vigor and vitality. Nothing works again, so what do you do? you decide to completely lean over him, and push him away with your entire body - so here's you (and if we didnt know better, we would have thought you were this cute little baby trying to lean over him and kiss him) you little devil you, and A Junior who is trying to (unsuccessfully) get out of your way - you rowdy you!

some more memories ...

how soon are you growing up?!



it seems like just yesterday that I was howling in the labor room asking for you to get out of my body, and today its already 16 weeks since that day. very soon you will slowly stop needing to suckle for nutrition, it will be an exercise just to bond. Love you baby, you make me want to be a better person, you make want to be alive for you.



This is when you were just about to sneeze ...

This is,

when we got ur ears pierced :((




and took snaps with all ur grand uncles and aunts. :-)

Please

Please Please dear baby, please go to sleep. Please!!! Sleep is an essential part of life, it is a different thing that when you grow up and have exams, I'll nag you and wake you up at insane hours so that you can study, get good marks and become a NASA scientist. (if you have any doubts about my nagging abilities - assk your dad and ur uncle, both of whom are subjected to my specialised torture when they dont wake up on time).
But, for now. PLEASE go to sleep - especially at nights, please sleep. The whole world does.
