Hands on my side, what is this mine?

Arhan is 5 months old today and we are having so much fun. His energy and enthusiasm has given a new dimension to our life. He wants to laugh, play, hold things, eat things (literally) and every thing that you can think of.

Earlier this month he figured out what those tiny hands were for. It was like he discovered this great tool with which he could do anything that he ever wanted. He would catch his own feet mid air (quite a feat isn't it), he could grab his rattles and the yellow ducks in his bath tub. He could even scratch papa's beard and no longer needed mommy to hold bottle. And, you could tell that he was on top of this world. His hand coordination has become so much better now that he has started to use his blanket, as a toy, to hide himself. It's amazing to see him play this way and sometimes he will shyingly look at you and smile to tell us that he is so thrilled to be around here. We love you baby.

His improved dexterity has also lead to an increased curiosity level. There is nothing that he wants to miss. You want to play peek-a-boo with him, he is game. But, be prepared to loose, as his twinkling eyes would follow you no matter where you hide (James Bond..) He want's to touch and taste everything, the rough wall of our apartment, no problem. The laptop (..Bill Gates is old). He even tries to un velcro his diaper (I kNOw Casanova). His favorite sport is self admiration on the mirrors, he gets super excited seeing himself in the mirror (Tom better go Cruising).. You can catch this little ring master doing tricks at any time of the day (without tickets).

It's a delight to see Arhan grow. We wish we can freeze each day of his life so that we can relive them whenever we want. But, this is just a beginning and we know that there is so much in store for us from this little wonder. God bless you little Arhan!
