Kyra - 6th Month

Dear Kyra,

What a horrific start of the new month! Mom had already warned me about this. She had said that છઠ્ઠો મહિનો means છટકેલ! And that's what happened. Not a day had gone by when you did not make fuss about food/sleep. And on top it, you had to spit at least once a day!

You started rolling over on your tummy and you loved it. Initially you had always preferred right side. But you started flipping over from left side only. This had become primary mode of ground transportation :)

You love sitting on daddy's shoulder. And we too love our sweet 'Gol-Matlu'!

You always seemed hungry and yet you would deny to milk. So I thought now time had come to offer you solid meal. After consulting doctor and my mom, I started giving rice cereal and Parle G Biscuit in milk. Once you grew comfortable, I offered fruits and vegetables juices as well. You loved fruits, vegetables and lentils in this order.

We celebrated our 1st wedding anniversary with you. It was our first venture to take you to the restaurant. Both food and ambiance were horrible but you indeed enjoyed it as it was well lit and not at all crowded.

You celebrated your first Christmas. We took you to the park to see winter lights and you were just amazed. We also took you to different malls couple of times (malls which we never visited!). You loved these outings. We also started our little Christmas celebration. We bought some gifts for you and then had photo session for the same. We had white Christmas this year. Yes, you witnessed your first snow fall.

You love to see when we make funny faces. You also try to mimic our actions by blowing nose and sticking out your tongue.

You started recognizing your name very well. Whenever you hear Kyra, you would look in that direction and then smile.

You got your ears pierced and now you look very girly girly. My Little Beauty!

We had power outage for few hours and you enjoyed your first meal with help of torch.

I took you for 6th month physical examination and vaccination. Your weight was 16 lb and height was 26". Normally you would be cranky and fussy after vaccination. But his time it had opposite effect. That was the only day you were not cranky. You finished food within reasonable time and you slept well!
