3, 4, There is So Much More...

In this article I'd like to recollect and relive the third and 4th months of our lives together...

June 06th through July 06th

•  The Smile that Lights Up My Life: The best part about the third month was the emergence of the most beautiful smile I have ever seen. And, how the world revolved around Sid, doing funny stuff to make him smile...
• 
  
  I Scream...I Scream...I Scream...However, along with the smile came the temper too. The couple of time that I have seen Sid scream (not cry, but simply scream) is a good idea of the temper shows to come ahead...
• 
  
  Impossible, But True: Though sleep was always a rare phenomenon with my baby, the move from trivandrum to pathanamthitta has decreased even the little there was!!! Even after he falls asleep in our arms, he totally refuses to lie on the bed or his cradle and wakes up wide eyed the moment he is laid down! A slightly scary and worrying event...Doc says it might be due to change of place. Hope he gets used to the place real soon or mama will just wither away.
• 
  
  To Turn or Not to Turn?: For a couple of days this month, Sid would turn to his side, put one leg in the front and looked like he was trying very hard to turn over to his tummy. And, when he couldn't do it he would shriek and shriek in anger and frustration. This was so hard to watch! We were all stuck in the confusion to whether let him try or to pick him u an soothe him down. However, looks like after 2 days of this, he has decided to give it some rest now.
• 
  
  Pick Me: Somewhere around end of June, Sid started communicating his desire to be picked up by spreading his hands u and raising his back towards us.
• 
  
  Or I Shall Cry: Usually this effort was made more irresistible by pulling u a scrunchy face and making crying noises in a very funny imitation of crying...

 July 06th Through Aug 06th  

• 
  
   Hey! I can talk too:Now I can say yaaa yeee yooo and gaa gee goo...full conversations in great Lengths we had for a few days and stopped. Guess, Sid got disappointed at our failure to grasp!
• 
  
  Holding Things is Fun Though it takes him some time to get his hands exactly where he wants it before he can close his fists around it. Reaching out to get the rattles from our hands this month though cant hold them right, yet.
• 
  
  Yoo Hoo! I play with toys now! The first time this month, Sid found the ding dong toy (a plastic spherical heavy bottomed toy with a teddy on top that makes a lovely watery ding ding sound wen moved from side to side)lying on his side and in the way of grasping it hit it making the noise. He loved it so much that for a long time then he kept hitting the toy and making the noise...

  Worlds more Interesting Around Me: There was a time when having milk was a tedious job that took almost an hour making moms arms hurt from carrying Sid for so long and took a lot of sitting still in one place, something mama has never done much! Now, all it takes is a slightly different sound of the fan, the barking dog, granny's voice or some movement to stop drinking and inspect these more interesting sights and sounds.

These were some of the most important developments of these 2 months. However what is really precious are the tons of moments we share cooing and cuddling, laughing and smiling, holding on and hugging and just being...US...U n Me...
