Bhoo bhoo

Its been quite some time that I showed shana a dog (bhoo bhoo) & taught her the word however off lately she is almost in love with dogs :-) She can't get her eyes off any bhoo bhoo she spots on the road, we have to spend maximum time there untill the bhoo bhoo goes away.Even if she hears a dog barking at home or anywhere else (dog not in sight) she immediately says "bhoo bhoo" :-):-)
We regularly visit one of the chicken shops in Aundh on sat/sun morning where there is a pet clinic nearby.Shana enjoys watching all the doggies waiting outside the clinic to see the Dr.....All in all..my best friend bhoo bhoo! Oh wait....well she shares similar affection for "kabu" (kabutar- piegon) too.She spots them much faster than me or rahul & starts waving instantly to them saying hi.That enthu happy change in her voice tells me that a piegon has alrdy been spotted & then I find it by looking at where she is looking:-) My baby & her buddies!

Lets get down

Today my bachhu swiftly got down from double bed on her own.Every day she surprises me with new things.Then right in the morning ( it doesn't hve to morning necessarily, shana uses brush anytime of the day)  she brushed her teeth with a baby brush for the first time today. I forgot to click pic of the same :( Never mind...next time.
At around 4'o clock when the cook was cooking in the kitchen & shana wanted to play with her, I took her out to balcony.i showed her rains, birds, clouds etc as usual.At that time wind started blowing with great speed, so I said "chala aat jauya, hawa ahe na khup" then again I said "hawaaa"  & manu immediately said "hawa" :-) then I repeated the word 3, 4 times & she did too with me.chalo..one more word added to our vocab today:-)

Object of affection

Shana is 10.5 months now & today for the first time she held something (a tumbler :-) very tightly while sleeping.I was putting her to sleep singing her sleeping time songs.Thats when she pointed towards bathroom.I thot she wanted to take a look at washing machine instead my lil one picked up a tumbler.she held that in her hand all the while I was singing, must b for good 20 min. & even after that she just wudn't let go of that.I tried to take it away from her after sleeping but nope...shana held it even in sleep.

Amazing Developments!!!

Last one to two weeks have been a game changer for Shanaya... Both the trip to Pali and Akola had been amazing barring the train ride to Akola. Shanaya enjoyed every bit of it. Her love for animals and greenery was so much seen. She just cannot get her eyes of booboo (dog), Kombdi (hen), hamma (cow) and kau(crow)/chiu(birds)/Kabu(pigeon). Apart from her usual murmurs about mama, pada, dada, aatya, Shany distinctly said the word "SaSA" on 28-Jun-14 and "Thanda" on 2-Jul-14. From 1-Jul-14 it seems she has given up majority of her crawling and now enjoys walking by holding my or Kalpana's hand. Yesterday she took 4-5 rounds of the complete house this way. She is itching to walk and run. One amazing stuff happened on 2-Jul-14: Shanaya was bending her head down when i commented that she seems to be doing the exact posture done during a namaz. Kalpana felt that she may have stopped for sheshe. In a split of second, to our surprise, our little one did a gulanti udi... both of us were pleasantly shocked.
