What's new?

Kavin's going to be 6 months in a week!! Wow, can't believe it.

He's become so much bigger and taller in the last couple of weeks. His likes and dislikes are getting stronger, he is more vocal in letting us know about his moods. He loves rolling about to reach his favorite toys. Also he has been trying to crawl this week, and has been successful at belly crawls. He also loves to stand up with some support for his arms. It is very, very exciting to see him so mobile. And at times scary too!

Kavin had his first feel of the beach sands yesterday. We went to the Tiruvanmiyur beach and let him stand in the waves. After one initial frown, he was fine. We are planning to take him every week and make him a beach bum!

He has learnt to kiss. My fav moments with him are when he grabs my face (or ears or hair!) with his chubby hands and gives me his wet kisses. He knows that I love them and smiles after his slobberfests!

As for foods, he has tried squash and a multi grain cereal with banana flavour. He loves the first and is indifferent to the latter. He had sweet potatoes and corn stage 2 from Gerber today and as expected, gobbled it up.

I am so looking forward to his 6 mos appt to check out his weight and height. My guesstimate is 15 lbs and 27 inches.
