7 months old and sitting and crawling and...

Kavin completed 7 months today. And right on cue, he started crawling yesterday. He has been moving backwards for more than a week now. But last evening, when Rajesh placed one of his fav toys on the floor, he belly crawled towards it and grabbed it. And the stunning thing is he moved at such a great speed to begin with! Babies do something different every single day; it just puts you in awe.

He's been having hectic weekends. This time, it was his grandparents wedding anniversary and another grandpa's birthday. Everyone dropped in to bless us and we organised a surprise party as well.

Kavin seems to like outings to Coffee Day. Of course, he is not an expressive fella when he is out; so my guess :) He has graduated to eat rice and dal, which he seems to like and has gotten bored of Cerelac cereal. He will soon get his first taste of yogurt and different kinds of porridge.

Seeing him play is an interesting past time for me. Every single day he tilts his toy box and peeps in as if to see if there are any new toys inside. Not finding any, he turns away and tries to move towards the remote controls and mobile phones. His recent curiosity is a girl baby toy that crawls when making a loud noise. He keeps tapping the face and head, maybe to see if it will respond in kind.

We took him to Rajesh's friends place to get him to play with his almost 5-month old daughter, Rhea. It was so strange the way the two babies just kept avoiding each other. They didn't make eye contact and were more friendly with each other's parents. Only when she started to cry did Kavin look at her as if 'why is this baby fussing??'. I REALLY wish that there was a way to get inside these kids heads!!
