A naughtier Nishita - My Eighth Month

As my playtime and love for playing kept on growing, one thing was getting adversely affected - My naptime! I was hardly taking 3-4 naps during the day and the duration of them was very unpredictable...sometimes 15 mins and very few times extending to an hour - meaning I had a good sleep!

I was extremely alert for two particular sounds - a phone ring (is it mumma calling!!!) and a car's reverse gear horn (is daddy home???). I would anxiously look here and there to locate the origin of these sounds.

Crawling was in full swing. I would hold onto anything I get (a piece of furniture, a cupboard handle) and stand up and sit down, again up and again down - repeating this on and on. But peek-a-boo with curtains was my all-time favourite!

My grandmom would take me to the park every evening and I loved it so much that if I saw her going towards the main door with her spectacles put on, I would start crying to take me along with her. And I enjoyed all the rides in the park, the swing, simple merry-go-round and my favourite - the seesaw.

Mom took me to my maternal grandmom's place on the ocassion of my pinni's birthday. I was anxious for half of the day, not ready to leave my Mom. But gradually I overcame the anxiety and became playful with ammamma, thathagaru and pinni.
