...I won't say anything at all
So why don't you slide...
Each day, waking up next to you, cuddling you, is the brightest start my mornings can have. Last night you decided to wake up at 3:30am for your night snack (which you pretty much didn't have - you just drank 1 oz juju), and went back into the crib. At 5:30am you woke up, I picked you up, rocked you and put you back in the crib. You woke up again at 6:30am, and I decided it was time to cuddle you up. It was time for you to come into Mommy's bed :-)
Yesterday you surprised us. You went to bed at 10pm the night before and woke up at 5am, a straight 7hr sleep! After the milk, you went back into the crib and woke up at 7am, to be cuddled by Mommy and brought into her bed. By 8:15am when you hadn't stirred, Mommy decided to get up and get dressed. You woke up at 8:45am and immediately started crawling and within 15 seconds, had pulled out Dadddy's iPhone charging cable! Daddy rushed from the bathroom to save you from falling from the bed to the floor. You are so quick :-)

Doctor visits
Sitting in the doctor's office waiting for the doc reminded me of Rian's latest trip to the clinic last Saturday. Rian had an hour long morning nap and woke up at 12:30pm feeling totally refreshed. Daddy - as always - was in a very playful mood and Rian played along. He was laughing, smiling, cooing, gurgling to Daddy's wishes. When the nurse came in the check him out and get basic readings, he kept staring at her so cute, she said "are u flirting with me? Coz if u r, u know, I'll take it ;-)". When the doc came in, she said "oh you're just a happy baby, huh?". True that, my happy baby. May u stay this way always, no matter what life (or mommy) hands out to you...
Growing by leaps and bounds
Okay, the title is somewhat of a cliche, but seriously, it's really something we're seeing with Rian. We got back from India when Rian was 7.5 months old, and he took ~2 weeks to settle back into his routine, get over jetlag, and start eating his solids with relish.
10 days after coming back from India, Rian was comfortably sitting (1 March) if we propped him up. 2 weeks after that he was balancing fairly well and sitting on his own with one hand. A week after that 8.5 month old Rian was crawling, and he was all over the place!! For a couple of days he only responded to toys placed just out of reach, to crawl. After those 2 days, he had "lift off". He'd just get up and GO! Unfortunately even his afternoon naps ended short this way - he'd wake up and just start crawling :D
In the last 10 days, I've seen Rian grow up a lot. Now he's all over the place - tur tur tur palto! And now he wants to hold things and stand up. He stands up very well in his crib. Now the latest is he wants to stand up and let go of his hands :-) Poor fellow is ending up with some hurts here and there. He has learnt to identify a few things - when we call out, he looks at that thing. Most recently he's learnt how to "clap", well he puts his hands together! And guess what... His first
tooth is about to sprout! In the bath yesterday, he looked at his bath toy and purposefully dipped it into water, to get the bubbles coming out. I was STUNNED. Rian has started understanding that if I hold this toy with 2 hands and turn it upside down and push it into water, bubbles come out. He then holds the toy up and lets the water drain. I had tears in my eyes - my baby is not a little baby anymore, he knows how to work his bath toy!!
Yesterday we took Rian on a hike - the Stanford dish 3.6mi loop. We totally enjoyed it, although Daddy's wicket is a bit down from carrying Rian for 3.6 miles.
We're having a wonderful time with Tuggy right now!

Cuter by the day
My cute baby seems to be getting cuter by the day :-) When he was born, I thought he was the cutest baby I'd seen, EVER. At 2 months when he was a bit more "filled in" I again thought he was so cute, definitely cuter than the Rian at birth. At 6 months his photos started showing that glow in his eyes, so cute, definitely cuter than 2 month old baby Rian. At 9+ months now, I think his smile is the best in the whole world ;-) and definitely cuter than 6 month old Rian. Can it be possible? Actually I think I'm the worst of the "comparing" moms... I'm comparing my son with his own "cute" profile, and he seems to be outdoing himself... hehehehe...
Coming back...
It's been ages since the last post I made to the blog. Coming back to the blog and reading the old posts was definitely fun! Feel sad that there were a thousand things I should have captured here, but have just slipped by, for lack of time. I'll try to post something here, at least once a week. More power... er... time to me!

Back to work, home to play
Today was mommy's first day back at work. Mommy missed baby Rian a lot!! Looks like baby too missed mommy a lot and was very fussy for his 2 bottle feeds and even otherwise. Hope baby gets used to it... else mommy's gonna have a hard time going to office to work.
After mommy got home, she held on to baby, even though baby was fussy and cranky. Then baby rewarded mommy with a few smiles, played a lot with mommy, and even dozed off a bit in mommy's arms.
The time between 14 April '08 (my previous post) and 15 September '08 (this post) is a blur to me. There are loads of wonderful memories burried in there, and maybe I'll get a few minutes each day to dig out the precious ones and pen them over time.
