2 Teeth and gazillions of blabberings!!!

Well.....as if 1 reason for overwhelming joy wasn't enough for me, Dhruv comes up with more things?! Last reported, he had one tooth, peeping out of his little pink gums...rite? Latest flash news.....there are 2!!!!!! One, the one I had talked about earlier, is peeping out...yes, it can finally be seen......and one more is trying to push its way rite next to its fellow.....how amazing, 2 little teeth on my little love's little mouth!!!!

I've been trying really really hard to make him laugh so that I can click a snap of the two beauties, but the stubborn boy refuses to remain smiling the minute I pick up the phone! He smiles wide when I blabber silly nothings, but no sooner does he see the phone in my hand that he shuts up and starts whimpering for the phone....but, I'm going to try nevertheless....I'm sure you guys are as eager to see the ivory stubs as I am to click them....

Oh! and blabbering reminds me.........Dhruv has started to babble amazing little sounds....there are a series of a-bub-bub-bub-bubs and then fffrrs-phrrs-buh-buh-bahs. He's started making these sounds since Sunday, the 5th of April....till now, his only sounds have been of crying out loud, when he pronounces 'ammah' which just tugs at my heartstrings....'amma' being the word we southies use for mother......He has also been screaming quite a lot....actually too much...and at things that please him.....the pigeons around draw shrieks, the moon attracts louder and longer screams and anything that attracts him is warranted to be greeted with a certain pitch/tone/lentgh of screaming......

That's more or less the progress Dhruv's been making on his growth trajectory and I'm quite content with the results that he's been showing......but I'm getting worried that I'm slippiing into corporate jargon and business writing style....i guess its time I went back to my work.....more on Dhruv later! Ciao all!

One Tooooooth!!!!!

This is way too fabulous!!!! I'm going ga-ga over this and can't seem to suppress my happiness! I've been telling everybody who cares to lend me a ear...and even those who listen to me just because I'm talking! But, well....who cares?! This thing is among the biggest things of my life?!!!!

Okkkkkk.....I'm sorry.....I guess I should have told you what I was talking about in the first place, instead of breaking into it soooooo late.....but, I guess when you read what I'm so overjoyed about, then you'll forgive me.....

So.....its like this......I'm trying to instil good habits into my 10 month-old (which my mom encourages totally...tho she's like 'he's hardly going to understand what you're doing...go ahead nevertheless...'!!??!) So....every morning, when he wakes up, I clean him up and change his diaper, and then takw him to the wash basin......(he loves to be there, he can see himself in the mirror and the little yellow bulb burning over it, and, the most important thing, he can reach out to the toothpaste/brushes/razors/shaving brush!! -- excuse me for breaking off, on and off...but well, I guess you'll understand!).....So....he looks at the mirror and at me through it, while I wash his face and then put my index finger into his little mouth and rub his hardening gums.....I think, that if i keep doing this, he's gonna start learning that it should be done every morning....and then it wouldn't be difficult to teach him to brush when he grows up.......(there I go again!!!) So....yesterday, 2nd April, 2009 (Let me mark it bold...its a big day in Dhruv's life and mine as well!!!!), as I put in my finger, I felt something sharp right in the centre of the lower gums....so I put my finger there again and lo! There was a little bit of tooth trying to make its way out! YES!!!!!!!! My son's FIRST TOOTH!!!!! Its not really visible to the eye yet....but I can feel it....and can't wait to see it!!!!!

I guess such a major breakthrough warrants some excitement on my behalf, and I hope you guys can now understand what has been making me jump around with joy! Nevertheless....I guess I need to get over the euphoria and get down to business.....I'm not supposed to be wasting precious resource time, writing personal blogs right!!!

PS: Tooth-fairy....bless my son with an amazing set of teeth -- most women, including me, look at the teeth of a man and how they smile, at the first meet and decide whether they are worthy for further attention or not....if you know what I mean!?!
