First Diwali and 6-month checkup

Kavin woke up to a bunch of 300-walas that we cracked just outside his bedroom window. Poor guy woke up with a small cry. He was ok soon and was enjoying all the sound although he would tense up a bit when the 'sorams' go off! He got a nice oil bath on his first Diwali. My mom had stayed over. His other grandparents and attai visited as well.

The previous evening, we had all gone to our terrace to send off some 'vaana vedikais' (sky show) and in all that excitement, one of us knocked over a water pipe and we ended up with 'thanni vedikai' (water show)!! Kavin was all drenched as were all of us and kicked off the Diwali excitement for the year.

We took him for his 6 month appt yesterday (at 6 month and 3 weeks). His doc was down with fever for weeks, hence the delay. The lil one is no longer little, weighing in at 7.2 kgs and 27.5 inches long. He was so charming with his doc and she was so impressed with him. He was given a go ahead for rice, dals, yogurt, even cow's milk. It gives me so much options when going out with him. He got a Hep B shot at the end.

Kavin seems to be trying to crawl this past week. But the floors are so cold with all this rain that I keep pulling him back on to the comforter. His new sound for now is 'Ha'.
