I started on solids!! - My Fifth month



My fifth month started with my parents' anniversary celebration. Mom had few more weeks to go before joining office. Major concern now was what would I eat while she is away?? Doc suggested various options and thus I was introduced to solids and several new tastes in little quantities one by one -Formula milk with ParleG biscuit, Cerelac (rice), Mashed banana, Orange juice, Mosambi juice etc. While I was very fussy to any new food in the beginning, by the end of fifth month I started accepting them. I rejected bottle-feeding outright though. And guess what I loved the most - water!!

And what were the new things I was doing?? I started feeling the ticklings during massages and they would make me laugh :) I had started screaming loudly - "aaaaaaaa" - signalling that I am not happy and am going to cry in sometime. I could now turn over both sides, from my back to tummy and vice versa. This was my favourite play now, I would start at one end of the bed and reach the other end in no time. If anyone in my family put forward their hands towards me I would try to rise-up (in a situp fashion)...may be telling them that I want to be cuddled.

Parameshwar babai got 10 days holdiays and we went to Nalgonda(a district nearby to hyderabad) to vist my chinna nanamma (grandmom's sister). I thoroughly enjoyed my second road trip and our weekend stay there.

Then came the Ugadi festival (my first Telugu New Year). I wore a new dress and a dry fruits maala on top of it. Dad made me taste Ugadi Pacchadi and I seemed to have liked it. It was a fun-filled and exciting day!!

Last three days I again visited my maternal grandmom's place and had great time with ammamma, pinni and thathagaru.
