Diya officially turns 9 months this Sunday. It’s been an exciting month...lot has happened. Biggest thing was that she started to crawl which I mentioned before. Every day she perfects this new skill of hers. She is speedy and will follow me from room to room. It’s very cute. By end of the day you can see the dirt she’s collected on her clothes around the knees area (not so cute).
Yesterday, something new and kinda big happened while I was at work. Diya was napping in her crib upstairs while Neha was downstairs. The monitor was on. Neha heard Diya rustling and getting ready to wake up. Then she heard her talking…all still normal…then she heard the mobile on the crib. Strange…it doesn’t go off on its own…unless you turn it on or touch it by accident it doesn’t make a sound. So she rushed upstairs to check. What did she see?... Diya was STANDING in her crib. She was holding on to the side of the crib with one hand and playing with the mobile with the other hand all while standing. Naturally, in the evening we put her in the crib hoping she would do it again and we could see it in action. Luckily she did it again. She was even able to pull herself up using the ottoman. She does get lazy after a few tries and gives up, but I’m still proud of her.
Another thing she has learned that I also love is that she waves bye-bye. Of course she does it at random times. But, she waves her hands and says ‘ta ta’ at the same time all while giving a little smile. It’s really cute and she’s getting good at it.
Yesterday, we could have sworn that she tried to copy some words we were saying. We weren’t even trying to get her to copy us. Premal said excuse me to her and Diya immediately mumbled something back and it was very close to ‘excuse me’. We laughed and thought it’s just a fluke. Later in the evening…I turned off her toy drum which says ‘Bye Bye’ before it completely turns off and Diya repested something that sounded close to ‘Bye Bye’. After that time we started to think that maaaaaybe it wasn’t a fluke. But, of course she didn’t repeat it so it must have been.
There is one last thing that she has learned to do. But, I won’t comment on it…I’ll let this video do the talking.
So, as usual here are the photos from last month and the link to the video.
