Time for an update !!! I like to have these things documented so I can always look back with a smile :)
Its been 15 months for Anvesha in this world !!! We had her 15 month check up today and she is 19.5 lbs in weight which is the 25th percentile and 29.5 inches in height which is the 25th percentile.
Though her vocabulary is still small, but she still has the ability to convey her mind through some hand gestures, sounds, words. This display of communication is rather impressive. This is also an evidence that she is learning how to share her thoughts. When asked to get her ball, she runs to get it. Ask her where "Tinker Bell" is and she will get her storybook to you. Bath time is fun time for Anvesha. Sing the song, " Chai Chappa Chaii" and she will drag you to the bathroom. She is learning new words.... and my ears are still waiting to hear Mamma :) Here's a list of few words she can say:

- "Doah" for Dog
- "Ish" for Fish
- "Shhhh" for Shoes
- "Aiii" for Bye
- "Da" for Duck
- "Bub Bub" for bumble bee
- "Ja" for jump
She is 75 % weaned as of now and the day time feedings are close to zero... yayyyy !!!! As far as favorite foods are concerned... well she loves strawberries & oatmeal- she will just jump in excitement on seeing strawberries. Her favorite song these days is "Clap your hands" and she can "clap her hands", "stamp her feet", "jump up high", "turn around" in sequence on hearing this song :) Cute isn't it?? Here's a video of her activities.
Anvesha has four upper teeth and four lower ones right now, one lower molar and two upper molars have erupted and the other lower molar is on its way.She also has a small finger toothbrush and loves to brush her teeth :) We also need to have her first dentist appointment soon :). The past few days have been tough on her .....sleepless nights, lack of appetite and fussiness and I would blame it on these "horrible molars"!!!
She is down to just one nap during the day now and this gets harder on me as I am not able to catch up on my sleep (yeah.... she still doesn't sleep through the night ). I am not a great supporter of the cry it out method of sleep training... though many people swear by it and that is what her pediatrician recommended too. I just feel its wayyy too harsh on the child and I just do not have the heart to let her cry until she falls asleep. The sight of her falling off to sleep on my lap is just so precious that I can give up anything in this world for that.
It might be a little early to comment whether she is a left handed or a right handed girl... but she prefers to use her left hand a lot. Neither me nor Prateek is a lefty, so it would be exciting to have a left handed person in our family, and we don't wanna manipulate her hand preference at all.
Although I do miss going to work at times, but watching her grow right in front of my eyes is something I cannot trade off for anything else. Over the years I shall look back with a smile and say with pride, "That's my girl" !!!
