First ouchie!

4/13/2010
Arya had her 1 year appt with her pediatrician - she is growing well. A little below average in her weight, but that is kind of expected with a picky eater. We came home and she was crawling around and next thing we know - she slipped and fell and bust her lip :( Blood and tears - I was terrified. She was ok, just a busted lip and her teeth were fine.

I know there are many more similar incidents to come, but the sight of blood and tears on Arya is very painful to watch as a mother. If only she could learn her life lessons without getting hurt....

1 year old

Wow!! Time does fly by fast - hard to believe that Arya is 1 year old. She had 2 birthday parties. On her birthday we were visiting my best friend Anu and her family. Anu threw a cozy birthday party for Arya and once we got back in town we had a big party for family and friends on the 10th of April. The party was a lot of fun and also very exhausting. We had a house full of guests and everyone wanted to hold Arya. Needless to say Arya was a little exhausted too - too much stimulation for a little baby.

She is still very content with crawling and she is pretty fast at it, she doesnt seem to have any motivation to walk. She is holding on to things or us and walking, but it is not fast enough for her :)

Up the stairs I go!

03/30/2010

I was folding clothes and Arya was sitting on the floor looking around. All of a sudden I look down and there is NO Arya. Very quickly I realized that she had found her way to the first step and was sitting there looking at me " Look mommy where I am heading". It didnt take her long at all to crawl all the way up to the 2nd floor.. Since then it has become a fascination for her to climb the stairs at least a couple of times every day.. :)

Time to put up the gate at the bottom of the stairs.
