Anvesha @ 1.5 yrs

No more counting in months.... my little doll is now 1.5 yrs :) What an age to be in !!! Happy Birthday sweetie..... you are a big girl now !!!!

Anvesha weighs 20.6 pounds .... she is more on the petite side I feel and is 31 inches in height ( I secretly wish she doesn't turn out to be like me in terms of height ). She hasn't started to speak much but understands simple instructions and attaches meaning to a particular object. Her caterpillar, for instance is synonym to going out for a walk. She lives in her own predictable world where everything follows a sequence, at least on weekdays :)

She is now 98% weaned. The bedtime feed was the hardest one so far and we are left with just one morning feed. I am night weaning her these days which means few sleepless nights :). Its much difficult than I thought it would be as she is very attached to me and I was left with no choice than to go cold turkey.  We will reach there in a few weeks I hope and I will surely miss the closeness and the special bond we had. On the positive side, she is becoming more efficient at drinking from a glass :) I know kids her age who are still using bottle and find it difficult to give up on them. Thankfully, I do not have to worry about that :)

We have started potty training for her, though not vigorously. There have been so many accidents in the recent past and I don't quite think she is ready yet. As of now her potty seat is more of a fun place for her :)

She has a total of 14 teeth now and its bit of a struggle daily to brush her teeth as she resists a lot and wants to brush her teeth herself, but when it comes to hygiene, there are no compromises whatsoever.We also had her first dental appointment :)The four molars and two upper canines have appeared and she is able to chew food more efficiently. That means she is able to eat chapatis now and practically everything that we eat with mild spices of course. Though I still miss the baby food that I used to prepare for her. She loves fruits and her current favorite are blueberries !!!! Cherries, apricots, plums, peaches, figs are in season and I ensure to offer her a wide variety.

Anvesha loves to dance and there are a few of her favorite rhymes that she loves to dance on. These are "Johny Johny", "heads, shoulders, knees and toes", "if you're happy and you know it clap your hands", "machli jal ki raani hai", "wheels on the bus". She just looks so adorable dancing around. She can point out to her body parts... eyes, head, nose, feet, hands and the best one is tummy. She will lift her dress to point out at her little tummy :) She is learning to identify fruits now. We have a small pocket size book of fruits and vegetables for her that she finds very interesting these days.

In 6 months from now Anvesha will be 2 and there will be another update from me then. I hope till then I am able to meet few timelines that I have set for myself  including potty training :)

Here's little Miss Sunshine @ 1.5 years.... love you baby. Muaahhhhhh !!!!
