Upbringing Krisha

On the eve of Krisha’s next birthday, i am recollecting all the wonderful experiences that we gone through, both as parents and as a family.

We were in Zirakpur last year. Initially we were thinking of having a big blast and a huge party in some hotel. However, we decided not to go for that. Instead, we went to a orphanage where we celebrated Krisha’s Bday. More then us, I think it was Krisha who enjoyed the most.

This is the year when she learnt walking.

She truly enjoyed the holi

She has learnt – how to pose for the photographs

She started her play school .

She has started speaking. (Note to myself – need to put up a audio blog) . She speaks many words. Her vocabulary is increasing day by day. Its very different feeling to see her trying so hard in expressing herself. And then there was the scare of all her teeth getting rotten. Thank God that we got a second opinion. Otherwise doctor would surely had had her way to operate on her.

She already has a best friend.

Its her Birthday again. I wont be with her. And I am pretty sad about that. still.

I cant wait to see what all changes she would go through in the coming year.

Krish – Wish you many many happy returns of the day.

Luv you dear :).

Blogging could get very boring at times. Sometimes so boring that next post is approximately after 1.5 years :).

Krisha is getting very naughty these days. She is also learning new words. I believe her frequency is one word/week. Now, I do not know whether that is fast enough or slow, I am enjoying this whole experience. Latest words that have added to her vocabulary are "nahi chahiye", "gila", "cheetah", "bye".

We have also started doing video conferencing with my mom and dad. I believe that this way she would not forget their faces. It also gives them something to look fwd to every evening.

I am also learning to be inventive these days. Every time she cries, I have to think of some new game to capture her attention. Sometimes it works and sometimes it does not.

She has also started to teach us. Whenever I forget to keep things in place (e.g. i keep my mobile on the sofa), she will pick it up and give it me. That essentially means that it was not at its place.

I have a question, how do you get to know what these kids want? Sometimes she just cries and whatever we try to do, nothing pacifies her.
