Richie played a lot today

Richie seemed all happy today and was playing a lot. He started a new game. The game was about collecting all the multicolored small balls in one place. Then he would take 2 balls in his hands and crawl in "Commando" position i.e on his elbows and meticulously keep them on the chair, so that they don't slip down. He didn't stop till he finished placing all the balls on the chair. Inspite of all the care, some balls would give him a slip. But Richie was quick to get them back, scolding them for their bad behaviour. Thinking that he may be tired, Richie's dada tried to help him. But what do you think Richie did? He didn't accept the balls and threw them at the place from where it came from. Richie's dada exclaimed "He has his his own rules. We better not mess around.".;)

Acquiring new skills -13.5 months old

Richie is walking holding onto furniture. He cruises everywhere and specially checks out things on the dining table. When it is time for dinner (he senses it somehow), he comes near his high chair and indicates that he wants to sit on it. When we tell him, go and get your cushion, he crawls and gets the cushion with dada's help.

Recently he has acquired a new skill. His dada taught him to get down from the bed. He started getting down from the bed all by himself, after a little practice. Climbing was a little difficult, but he mastered it fast.

When we tell him "it is bedtime Richie" and try switching off the lights, he leaves his toys behind and comes running (rather crawling thud,thud thud) and sleeps on his pillow.

Richie feeding mama and dada

Richie is 13.5 months old. These days we are experiencing a lot of give and take. He uses the spoon and feeds dada and me. He feeds us biscuit and bread too with his tiny little hands. While feeding he goes "haap, haaap, haap", which means "open your mouth, open your mouth". If we are not around, he feeds pooh and pooh becomes happy and smiles.;)
