The latest additions to Mishtu's arsenal of toys is a baby walker. We thought it was a bit early but what the heck? When we realized that Mishti was more keen on standing up than crawling, we went ahead and got her one.....And man! are we surprised?? She took to it like fish to water...and she now loves to moonwalk around the house in her newest toy, which has added to her mobility by a great extent.
On our part, we re-arranged the furniture in the living room, so that she has enough space to float around the room, as per her whims and fancies.. I must say that this new acquisition has added an immense sense of deja'vu to her little existence. And all of a sudden she is elevated 2 feet above the ground and almost every item around the house is suddenly "within reach". That is certainly causing a bit of a concern to us! Now we need to work towards keeping all the stray wires and other "hangables" out of reach of little Mishti, so that she doesn't end up pulling something over her head.
All said and done, it is certainly a delight to see her enjoy her new found mobility. That naughtly smile on her face, when she flits around the house, says it all. Worth a million bucks!!!!!
I am posting this from work so don't have any pictures. But will upload them soon and post the link right here.
Offlate there has been a little dry spell in our little girl's blog. That;s purely because, as she grows, she keeps us completely engrossed in taking care of her needs that we don't have any time left for anything else! Well, almost. Now that Mishti tries to engage a conversation in her own style of melodious gibberish baby talk, it becomes more and more enticing to play with her.And this girl indeed is picking up things past. At only 6 1/2 months old, she has become extremely mobile. She tries her best to crawl but looks like she will skip this stage and straightaway leapfrog into standing and walking, because that is what we find her trying to do most of the time. Yesterday, she had a nasty fall, while trying to stand. But then that's all part of growing up :). There are a ton of recent pics, so I will sift through the pile and upload the good ones soon. For now, have fun watching this little magazine cover sample (click to enlarge), which I tried to create for Mishti, using one of here recent pictures.
