Break Time

So we are taking some time off from the A to Z challenge.  Beckett has grown and experienced and learnt and taught and lived some of her most amazing times in the last couple of months that I'd vanished from this blog.

Here's a quick update:

1. She's gone straight from tummy crawling to walking, skipping the crawling on the haunches phase. While she still walks while holding on to something, there are those priceless moments where she forgets that she needs to keep her balance, takes three or four independent steps before realizing the absence of any support, and then either lunges towards the nearest thing or sits down with a thud.

2. Two teeth have crept up from below and another two are waiting to come out from up above. Tough times ahead for the still breast feeding Missus.

3. The tongue wags a lot more. 'Pappa' is now easy. So next I'm going to try and teach her how to pronounce Bhaskaracharya.

4. She now explains things. With a captivating combination of gazes, gestures, grimaces, and gibberish (so much for the perfect alliteration) ! Right from wanting to go outside, to calling for specific people, to eating, and drinking water.

5. The Start / Stop buttons on iPads, Phones, Remote controls, and computers are her kryptonite, just can't resist them.

6. Gets angry real quick. Take away a trinket she's playing with and boy you've had it. Thankfully gets distracted just as easily. Best trick to learn as a parent.

7. Shows separation anxiety. Won't go to strangers. Hugs Missus, Me, and her grandparents tightly. Likes my Father in Law more than everyone else.
