I am 2 months old(10 weeks). Hurray!
An Update on 2 month journey.

Month 1:
Life has been good these 2 months. The first month I was sleeping for the most part. Rest of the time I spent battling the milk machine. Mommy kept blaming me for Mastitis, thank god she figured it was the fenugreek supplement taken without a set routine, causing the milk machine to go bonkers!

My first outing:
My first day out was when I turned 30 days. My first visit outside of house and doctors office was The temple. Papa does not believe in God, still he accompanies Mommy any time she wishes to go the temple. Thanks for being sensitive to her feelings, Papa. We went to the temple, thanked God for giving us everything we have and prayed for every body’s well being. I thought we were driving back home happily sleeping in the calming vibration of the car, when it was suddenly parked in front of the subway restaurant. I was kinda hungry, could wait few more minutes, so went back to sleep right away. Just then heard Mommy mumbling to naani it would take 10 minutes for the sandwich and then about 20 minutes to reach the park. The park was Ddidi’s favorite, had choo choo train and carousel in addition to regular park stuff. By the time I realised what she had said, mommy and papa were inside the restaurant. What would I do? I was hungry and cannot wait 30 minutes. I was demand fed you see, I had to decide when I wanted milk. And the only way to communicate was to scream. I started screaming on top of my lungs. Papa had switched the child lock on and so naani could not get out of the car. Ddidi’s car seat was in between mine and naani’s, she could not reach out to me. Neither could she unbuckle Didi as Papa had left the car running for the Ac to work.
Meanwhile mommy and papa are happily ordering sandwich and debating which soft drink to take with it. Mommy turned for a minute and saw naani waving at her frantically. She came running to hear me screaming. By time time, I was crying so loud that naani had tears in her eyes and Ddidi was crying not knowing what else to do. Luckily there was a private spot nearby, I got fed lunch. A quick conference was held to decide the next plan of action. After some debating, decided to go to another park that was 2 minutes away, which by the way Ddidi likes as well. She calls this duckling park.

Month 2+ :
At about 8 weeks, I started cooing and gurgling. I can now turn myself to track the sound. I cannot see clearly yet, but I can recognise parents and Ddidi by the voice. I love when Mommy also coos and tries to make the same sound as I do. And I respond right away with a big toothless grin.

At 9 weeks it was time for the pre-scheduled doc appointment to take my 2 month shot(grr…). We were getting late and Ddidi was insisting on joining us. You see, she likes stickers. She will go any distance to get one. Even to the doctors office. Dr J comes by for the physical evaluation. I am trying hard to say Hello and Thank you to her as I wanted to show I can speak. ok, not words yet, but sounds like gurr.. burr.. ung.. aggu… Dr. J immediately figured and told mommy that I am going to be one talkative girl. Good luck Mommy! Or should I rephrase it to Good luck Papa.
3 talkative girls and one man to listen! We are going to be one fun family!

My weight and height were at the 60% percentile(11.3 oz / 23 inches), I could see smiling faces all over the room. It meant so much to them and I was happy to see them happy. Just when I thought the doc visit was over and it wasn’t that bad after all, I was taken to this room where the nurse had his nose covered and the needles lay in the tray waiting to poke me. Mommy quickly volunteered to take Ddidi out, throwing me into papa’s arms. I screamed for about 10 seconds, it really wasn’t that bad. Made me wonder why Mommy was making such a big fuss in the morning.. Little did I know what was to come later!
We came home and I slept. When I woke up I felt an excruciating pain in the thighs where I got my shots. What then? Scream again, Mommy gave me Tylenol and it helped in about 15 minutes. I hope to be pain free for another 2 months before I am due for the 4 month shot

Life is great and I am happy to be part of my family!
