Baby update

This kid really has an attitude. She is very miserly with her smiles and doles them out only after a lot of coaxing. Picture a visitor looking at her for the first time - typical visitors are female, about 40 and bring dresses as gifts. Said visitor goes :"Rachu baby !! Agoo-goo-goo-gooo !". Our heroine lifts one eyebrow three millimetres and ignores the visitor. The tenacious sort among the visitors repeats the goo-goo routine. Rachu looks at her out of the corner of her eye ('chirayal' in malayalam) and sneers at her. She then turns her head away and mulls over the Kashmir issue. Most people give up at this point.

She can stare at the fan for hours, ruminating over how it works and its place in the grand scheme of things. She would much rather prefer looking at it than at her parents, not to mention friends and relatives. Maybe she will grow up to be an electrician. [insert 'fan' jokes here].

On the other hand, she is happiest in the morning when she wakes up, after her feed. She likes being held close to my body, happy with the warmth and comfort I guess.

  4. She has attitude, dude! She won't grow up to be an electrician, she just might grow up to become a great thinker, or a world leader of some sort.
    Anywys, if you can, here's a message from me to her:
    "A-goo-goo-goo-goo!" ;)

  6. Wonderful photo!

    She then turns her head away and mulls over the Kashmir issue.

    My kind of girl.

    I have a suspicion that it's usually morning people who end up being world leaders.

  7. really cute smile there!!!
    she does like to cuddle against you. you must make her conmfy. most fathers cannot handle kids coz they do not learn.

    and yeah all kids nowadays are snobs including my nephew who is 6 yrs and another who is six months. they are very cute too. i love them.

  9. I have a couple of nieces who are quite philosophically minded too - < 1 year old.

    Have fun - you won't miss the lack of sleep though, when the kid keeps you awake.

    She's really very very cute.
