Doctors visit

I had my 6-month doctors visit on Thursday. I am 7 months old now but this visit was delayed since my 4-month visit had to be delayed since I was still under medication for croup and Dr said I have to space my shots 2 months apart. No complaints here with delaying the shots. Dr couldnt believe dad when he told him I crawl. He said it is very early for me to start crawling and gave me his fingers so I held on to them and stood up, only then he believed how fast I was developing. He said "this is a 9 month old baby"! I weigh about 17 lbs now and measure 28 inches.
He gave me 2 shots on each thigh :(


He said I can start eating 3 meals of food a day (yay!) and alternate between milk and food every second meal. This, Mommy and Daddy got me a brand new high chair that makes mealtime so much fun! Mom got me some finger food flavored with fruits and this keeps me occupied. Holding the itty-bitty pieces of food is a challenge, I have to be fed at this time. He also said I must sleep in my crib and not in my parents bed when I wake up in the night. That way I will learn to go back to sleep on my own.

Now I am pretty comfortable crawling all over the house. I dont stay on my mat anymore, I go for a stroll to he kitchen, bathroom or bedroom. I tend to go towards the wheels of my stroller all the time. Daddy and mommy are getting a little worried and have started baby-proofing the house now.

Last two weeks have been very eventful. We had the official naming ceremony where my fois came over and named me. I also got some cool new toys from my fois, yay!!



I also had my first Raksha Bandhan, my mamas and didis visited me, the didis tied me rakhis and I got a lot of gifts. I love occasions!


Here are some pics from a recent day out at the beach:
