15 Months Update.

Continuing the “News from this part of the world” as Jelly’s 15 months update……

Yes my dear little Jelly has completed 15months……………how time flies………..its really hard for me to digest the fact that as each day goes by she is becoming a more independent toddler.

The “Mary had a little lamb” syndrome still continues out here. The moment I step into home my little lamb follows me to every nook and corner of the house. The first thing on the agenda as I enter the house is to carry her; if I just go to keep my helmet in its place then I can hear a loud wail in the background. As soon as I carry her I get showered with a million kisses and a tight hug. The funny part is that she looks at her grandparents as soon as she does this………probably trying to show off that “See I’m at last with my mummy!!!!” This tiny action makes me forget the whole day’s tiredness.

If I enter the kitchen to make or drink tea then it’s for sure that she will be in between my legs or clinging on to my neck. Right before or after this is the time she looks forward to, even if her tummy is completely stuffed with her evening snacks the little one wants me to feed her. More that the feeding it’s her bonding time with me. She feeds for a few minutes and what follows is just pure playtime. She does not allow me to get up, I have to lie down on the bed and she climbs all over me, cuddles me , kisses me, bites me, rides a horse or an elephant on my tummy and God knows what ……….

As days are rolling by she is turning out to be a big spoilt brat……….all courtesy her grandparents. Anything she does is totally adorable for them………and neither I nor SM are supposed to scold her or even give her a stern look. The end result being she has her way in everything and if ever things don’t go her way just a loud wail will help things happen(Grrr!!!)

Her vocabulary has increased very well. She understands every bit of what we speak and this we know by the actions that follow our talks. She has kept pet names for each one of us …………..especially me and SM. She calls me Ammi, Ammini, Ammeyi etc and SM Atha, Athae.

Life as a mom of a toddler is not all roses but I’m still enjoying every bit of it. There are times when I really loose my cool………. Like when in the nights even though sleepy she would not be ready to sleep or the time when she creates a fuss for not being allowed to play with the mobile charger or worse the time she would completely soak her nappy but would not allow anyone to give her a nappy change.But the moment I see her sleeping or the moment she cuddles me and just looks into my eyes with love, I just melt away………….Motherhood is the best blessing a Women could ever get………
