Ponderings of an 8-month-old

Hi everyone, I know Ive been quite for some time but the past month has been just so eventful! I have been real busy learning new skills.

I had a wonderful vacation in Maine with mama and papa. They were worried about how I would take the 5+ hour drive but it was very smooth, I slept for most of the time and we took frequent diaper changing breaks. Mama and papa had no issues feeding me on our trip and I would usually nap when I'd get tired on my own. It was fun sharing the bed with them!
Here are some pics from my vacation:

















Now that we are back mama and papa are trying to let me cry it out when I wake up to eat at nights. I have been going back to sleep pretty soon, and hopefully I will soon realize I dont need to wake up to eat at night and sleep through.

Dada left for India last week. I will miss his stories, I have been a great listener so far. But dadi is here and I will have fun with her. I had been high fiving people when you give me the palm of your hand. Dadi recently showed me how to clap my hands and I gladly show this skill when I am in the mood. But the keyword is mood. I have started picking up my finger food-not one but all pieces at a time,and dont always understand I need to bring it to my mouth. I have been eating dal and khichdi and I usually do this without a fuss.


As for other skills, I cant wait to walk on my own! At this time I have to make do with any chair or my gym and use it as a walker. Sometimes this gets ugly when the chair falls, taking me with it.

Here are pics from a recent playdate with my old pals Casey and Whitney- our friendship dates back to even before we were born!
