Aditi at 6 months...
1. Red is her fav color. Her Nidhika got her a Red-Balloon at one of the fests and it has become her fav toy. It's a helium balloon and although it's becoming smaller and less bouncy each day, Aditi continues to amuse herself with it.
2. We have started an award in our house every week - 'The One who gets Most Smiles from Little Aditi'. It's a rolling trophy and Aditi has been bestowing this award on Appa, Amma and Nidhika equally in turns, with no partiality whatsoever.
3. She has learned the 'Aanai Muttu, Muttu.... Muttu!' game and brings her head fwd for a gentle 'muttu' when we play with her.
4. Since the weather is not too hot nor too cold, she has been accompanying Appa/Amma to see her Nidhika off to school every morning. This involves smiling at anyone who stops by her stroller. i was surprised at the no. of localites, both men and women, who stop on their way to office(next to our bldg) and smile and say Hello to her. Aditi obliges each and every person with the widest open-mouthed smile she can manage.
5. Although we can feel her teeth thru her gums ever since she's born, the 'bokka-vaai' smile remains. And, is one of the cutest i have ever seen!
6. Opinion on her looks is divided equally between 'like her father' and 'like her sister'. But as one friend pointed out correctly, Nidhi and Santosh look like each other. so actually all three look the same. So, i am only one in this family who looks adopted, but it's ok. When Aditi sleeps, i love to look at her eyes coz they resemble her father the most, just like Nidhi. Also, Aditi has the brownest of eyes among us.
7. Aditi is becoming naughtier and naughtier day by day. Ever since Nidhi's school has started, Aditi is after her books. She'll keep on pushing herself fwd until she manages to grab her books. And once she gets hold of it she'll tear it apart in secs. we understood her intentions when we tried to distract her with one of Nidhi's old notebooks which was ripped apart beyond repair. so now we r very careful and when Nidhi's busy with her homework i am the one who stands guard for her books. Shudder to think of the months of guard-duty awaiting me this year!
8. Although i tried to be fair and kept repeating "Amma, Appa, Nidhika, Aditi" to Aditi, now i feel i shd have just gone ahead and taught her the one word i am waiting to hear - "Amma". Aditi proved yet again she is her father's darling by saying 'Abba..ba...ba...ba'. And, a little later 'Ga..ga..ga..ga' which sounds a lot like 'Akka..ka...ka..ka'. And, both these things happened today.
She has taken to screaming in the loudest possible voice today and now i have to stop typing this coz i need my hands to close my ears. Fun times!
