Oh Oh lotsa new things

Ananya's got a long to- do list these days...... munching on her fists all day, while rolling over , while talking, while attempting to crawl, while blowing bubbles........oh my god isn't that a long list now!
She spends most of her time on the tummy, the newer development being, she puts both her hands forward together and rests her chin on them and looks around the room .I adore this pose of hers.And something even more interesting is, the way she looks around for a while and then suddenly, she covers her face in her hands and moves her legs up and down,while lying on her tummy(like we do when we are in deep deep thought), as if saying,"oh god!i've got so many things to do ..what do i do next?"
While on her back, she holds both her hands in a fist,close to her mouth and in an animated conversation with us,blows bubbles and says,"ageeee ageee buuuuu khreeeee aaay aay".How I wish we could speak like her too, to be understood by her.We do try our best, though.And when I talk to her (mostly in her language),and make faces,her face lightens with joy, her mouth widens in a big grin, and she puts a lil of her tongue out and nods her head sideways and waves her arms and legs! and that makes me proud of my achievement....to have got her nod of approval and acceptance.

She's been showing symptoms of teething for more than two weeks now.I spent days trying to find a Stage 1 teething ring for her but most stores here, including Mothercare,carry only Stage 2 onwards.I've been looking out for the jelly filled rings which would be soft on her tender gums but what i find are thr slightly harder, water filled rings.Will have to wait a few more days before I can get them.

We are moving to a new, modern,spacious apartment(so uncommon in London,you can count modern developments on your fingertips) in a coupla weeks.....just to give her a luxurious start.Looking forward to having a great time there.
