I am 4 months old and I rolled over..
I rolled over this past Saturday afternoon – October the 20th.
And I am 4 months old! yaayy..
******
The last two months have been eventful and fun. First my roll over story..
Ever since Auntie Noon wrote about Kutti girl rolling, mommy has been singing this saga, mostly during our massage sessions. hey pyaalu, dunguna botta.. u know.. u know.. kutti girl rolled over.. when will my laddu lole over.. c’mon c’mon lets try. She will put me on my tummy, my bum facing her and call me by my nicks from behind, hoping I will turn to look at her, in the process flip over. I felt like saying Mommy, I will roll when I feel the need and when I am ready. Look at you, you go over telling people every kid is different, they will do such and such when they are ready. Where’s all that when it comes to me? Take it easy!
This past Saturday Ddidi fell sick. She wasn’t feeling well since morning, mommy blamed it on the fun she had at S Auntie’s house the previous night. Mommy had just finished up with Baby Naren’s birthday post and was giving the final touch to her awards speech, when suddenly Ddidi started shivering. She had a 104.5 temperature. All of us[yes me too] panicked. Mommy talked to the doc and in about 30 minutes her temperature reduced to 103, then to a 102. To cheer my family up, just that moment I rolled over! The first one to jump up and down was my sweet sister. I love her.

Papa took a short trip to India few weeks back, the first time ever he has been away from me for more than 4 hours. My smart mom invited maasi and maami to fill in. I met my cutie cousin Baby E[maasi's 9 month old] and got a feel of what’s coming my way. Goodness, how she gets strapped onto that booster seat and force fed her cereal. Shudders!! But, don’t you underestimate my cousin. She kept the ladies on their toes, including my sister. I did learn a few tricks from her, to not open the mouth in the first place. If somehow the dancing and singing distracts and one ends up opening the mouth, keep your head hanging down with the mouth wide open as long as it takes for that sticky gui stuff to fall down. Do it few times, oldies will have a strategy meeting and shift you to daal rice, ghee kinda good stuff. I have some more time to go, I think, though my mom’s contemplating to get me started earlier.
******
And the milestone updates: I have started recognizing everybody. I give a different expression with various family members. Ddidi gets the best of all. Then comes my mommy. Papa is not very happy about all this. Why doesn’t he understand that she carries my breakfast, lunch and dinner and I ought to be extra nice to her. I have started to grab things. You should see Mommy’s face turning red when I get a hold of her sparsely spread hair and swing it from one end to another. ok, ok.. I will be nice to her. I have also started to feel objects when placed in my palms. I grab onto it and squeeze it, feels warm. I am starting to get a sense of hand co-ordination. When mommy puts an object in front of me, I can move my hands, reach to it and grab it. And then I squeal with joy of accomplishment. I love licking Ddidi, rather she loves me licking her. Whenever no ones around, she presses her cheek against my mouth. Its our favorite pass time.
And finally I am able to communicate when I want to be lifted. Papa teases me, he will come close enough with the act of lifting me to see me push my chest and tummy upwards and go into a dancing mode. Whatever, you were once as small as me, Papa. Don’t you forget!
******
We also paid the scheduled visit to my ped, a very sweet lady. I have reduced from my previous 60 percentile weight to the 45 th. And my height is on the 40 percentile as well. Mommy, the usual worry-worm kind started jumping all over, Should I start her on solids? Should I increase the feed frequency? Maybe introduce formula? Ped told her that I was doing just fine and she needs to relax a bit. The genes are showing their color. Mommy petite, baby petite. Simple.

Enjoy!

Congratulations to darling Dlittle for rolling over!!!! Hugs and kisses to the Laddu
And hope Ddidi is feeling better now. 104.5 Deg F – God it must have been quite a fright. And Rbdans it is music to my ear to hear Dlittle’s squeals of delight. I so miss Madhu and Nandhu’s baby stage now

Oh Dlittle – loved hearing your voice. And congratulations on the first big milestone! More and more coming this year – look forward to all that! Will tell your friend kutti girl here that you are giving her company in all these things the first year!
And tell mom that I am glad that there is a worry-worm worse than me – her! With regards to weight I mean! Actually your pal kutti girl had her four month shots today and I could not go with her dad – I didn’t even ask about her weight until much later. And have no idea what percentile weight or height! Partly it is thanks to her brother – first few months I kept track of it – later when he became skinny once he started solids, I didn’t enjoy knowing what percentile weight – his doc also says – look at you – how do you expect him to be fat!
And please Dlittle for the sake of your mom and Auntie Noon who both love you – please don’t learn all these tricks from your cousin – just eat well and make it snappy and finish the meal each time ok! And please tell your friend kutti girl to also do the same when the time comes! Pleaaaase!
DDmom – I am going to copy/paste this post in my comp – so I will have kutti girl’s fourth month update!
It’s all exactly as it is happening here you know. She reserves her best smiles for her brother…loves playing with him. Holding his face in her hands…pulling my hair…enjoyed this post esp because I could visualize all this so clearly as it is happening here!

Yayyyy! Congrats Dlittle on your first motor milestone. And that was a beautiful update honey. Please eat well and be a good girl, and do not give weight gain worries to Momma. Probably you are eating to your need and genes are showing up. But you know, we mommies cannot help worrying, especially when it comes to eating, growth and the like.
DDMom, congrats on the mention in Telegraph.
