Aryan is growing up fast


Aryan is now 7 months old and he is growing so fast. It amazes me that this tiny little fragile baby has grown up so much. I can still remember when he was so small and delicate that I was afraid to hold him. It has been long time since we had an update on Aryan. So let us start where we left last time. Aryan's Dadu and Dadi left at the end of August. We came to know the day after they left that Aryan's first tiny tooth is coming. Aryan was a little cranky those days., waking up many times in the night. Saroj Aunty from Indianapolis came to look after Aryan for 2 weeks until Bitto Masi and Satyen Mausa ji arrived. Aryan cried the first time he saw Saroj aunty but then he does the same thing to every new person. But he adjusted well within a day and was behaving himself very nicely. Nasreen, my friend also visited us that same weekend and she was thrilled to see Aryan. Surprisingly, Aryan did not cry when she held him.

Masi and Mausa ji came on September 13th. Aryan cried again and again the first day just looking at them. But the next day he was smiling and cooing looking at them. His Dadu left to go to Sippy's( their son)place on 26th September and since then Aryan has been enjoying his daytime with Dadi. He doesnot let Dadi disappear from his sight even for a second. He cries if she even goes to the kitchen for a minute. Even if he is busy playing with his toys, he somehow senses that the person in the room quietly went away.

Aryan got his second bottom tooth within a week of the first tooth. Right now his 3 upper teeth are coming out. He bites me sometimes when I am feeding him. He thinks its funny but his mommy doesn't agree with him. It hurts Aryan!!!!

Aryan started to stand up around 6 months old. Now he doesn't want to sit. He stands up holding his table toys. He stands up holding the sofa, table, TV, Kushal's jeans, Dadi's pajama, Oven bottom drawer.




Aryan goes into the kitchen pantry and stands up and throws down all the daal, masala and other items on the lower shelf. He knows how to open cabinets and pulls all the stuff out. If you are standing with the Fridge door open, he sneaks under and pulls the stuff from the bottom shelf.

The downside to all this is that since he is so busy pulling down stuff that he forgets to hold himself up by using at least one of hands. He tries to use both his hands to pull down stuff and falls down hitting his head with a big thud. And what follows, you already know, a high pitched wail that makes everybody run and find him.

Aryan one day took off to climb the stairs all the way up to the third floor and he was successful. We were dumbstruck to watch him climb up so easily. We had never seen him trying to climb stairs since we never let him get close to the stairs. So it was amazing to watch him do this so easily as if he has been climbing stairs for weeks.

Well, I guess that was a long update on Aryan. Hopefully next time I will have updates regularly so that we don't have 1000 word essay on his developments. By the way, I also uploaded his video when he climbed up on his bouncer on his own and stood up. I was a little scared that he will fall really hard, but he did fine. He even climbed out off the bouncer instead of diving head down.
