Finally a book she was flipping pages of. It was too heavy to get in her mouth really. And every page she flipped she tried crumpling to see if it would go in her mouth. Finally she tore out the book cover and enjoyed some paper! sigh.
Wow.. feels like yesterday that I posted a 9 month update! Time surely flies!
- Survived almost a month on my own with D without N around! But glad to have him back. Divya would just scream with delight everytime we did skype call with him. And she screamed for almost half an hour when she saw him in person. When he was on his way she had a meltdown because she was hungry but there was still so much to do before bedtime...oh the frustrations in life! But the moment he opened the door all was forgotten including her mother. She just followed him wherever he went, even to the bathroom. Her eyes did not leave him the whole time. She slept horribly that night. Waking up to every movement. And so I didn't get much sleep either.
- She always looks like:
She's climbing over mountains, she's going under tunnels,
Overcoming obstacles, devouring all in her way,
Nothing is out of reach, nothing seems to be within,
Life has too much to offer, sleep never wins.

- She is picking out duplicates that she can find in the toy box.
- She has discovered the joys of playing with balls.
- She stands if we hold her up. Although she does pick herself to standing only in the crib. It looks like that's her place of comfort or place of hell, that she tries all her milestones out first!
- She cries out when we take things away from her. She hates that we don't let her bite on to cords and power plugs or talk on the phone (well, bite and slobber all over the phone)
- She is able to sit on her own now.
- She is picking up smaller and smaller items.
- Knows there are places that mom doesn't like her going, but going anyway. She pauses and seems to wait for me to come and get her.
- She talks - well, babbles full sentences. Sometimes she sounds like she hears Mandarin or something. A lot of her talking sounds like someone saying, "Ni hao ma!" strange..
- She has begun to eat better. She eats on her own - avocados, apples, chickpeas, bread, chappatis, pita, spinach dal. She seems to understand that food is something she can put in her mouth.
