2 molars and more

As I mentioned in my last post that Premal had to go away for 2 days. (Well…it turned out to be 3 days.) But no problem, cause taking care of Diya went really well …actually better than I expected. Dropping her off was fun and picking her up was even better. She’d be so happy to see me…its one of the best feelings.

Over the weekend couple of interesting things happened. On Saturday Diya proved what we kinda knew all along...she is a people person. I was giving her lunch after her nap and she was little cranky. My parents, Deesh, and Vipul came over and within seconds she was a different baby. She started smiling…babbling…and didn’t make a fuss about finishing her lunch either. Rest of the day she was happy baby. My parents (especially my dad and Deesh) were totally loving it. On the weekdays she gets cranky sometimes after coming back from daycare. We wondered if maybe she missed all the kids…now we are pretty sure she does.

Another interesting thing I discovered is that Diya has 2 of her top molars! She has 4 front top teeth and 2 front bottom teeth. We hadn’t seen any new teeth for months now. We didn’t think much of it. Then on Saturday she was in my lap and leaned back while her mouth was open and I saw one of molars! I was kinda shocked. It wasn’t like it was just coming in either….it is fully there. Later on I try to get another look to see if there are more and sure enough I saw another one on the other side. Both are on top. So she has a total of 8 teeth and 1 budding in the front bottom. I wish I could get a photo of the inside of her mouth…who knows what other ones are in there. But she never stays still long enough and never mind letting us look inside.

On Sunday we went to visit the Ninans and their new baby, Sanjay. He is so adorable and so tiny. Can’t believe Diya was ever that tiny. Very happy for them. They will have their hands full with 2 now. After the visit we went out to dinner with the Pandes. Diya was copying everything Gautam was doing. He is such a cutie anyways and now that he talks it is so funny. Seeing him interact with Diya and the way she runs around behind him is really fun to watch. After dinner we were walking towards our car while the Pandes were going towards theirs in the opposite direction. Twice Diya pulled her hand away and started running towards them. It was cute(not to mention dangerous).
