Fourteenth month

Dhyey is leaving babyhood behind, and he is entering into his bright world, yes he has completed 14 months by this week. He looks much taller now, many of my friends says he has a nice height. He has moved from walking to jumping, dancing and running confidently. He is pretty good at running and he likes to push and pull things while he toddles. He walks backward and mimics lips movement, and points to doggies, aeroplane and cars. He takes an interest in going up and down the stairs. I took him to the garden to chat with other kids. He likes look at the books, also turn pages , he likes playing cars and sometimes with making “bhrum bhroom” sound. Still he likes “ a cat came fiddling “. He bend over and picks objects. He always wants to talk on mobile, when I give him, he just hold it up, and laugh. He laughs at some advertisements. And most enjoyable thing of him is dancing , he likes dancing on his favourite songs. this is the last week for his medicine, still some hives appears on his body sometimes, but as per drs. Suggesion we have to come to an end. We got final xray and blood reports normal this month, so feeling little relief. but for hives again i have an assignment to find good dr. in reputed hospital. almost 5 month has passed in period of this hives' "bugs".

beginning of the second year!!!!

Through out the year dhyey was very healthy child, but the year end was terrible for him. In my previous writing I put down about dhyey’s cold and cough. Usually I didn't panic over the appearance of fever, cough and all that. What worried me was that there seemed other symptoms like he seemed with bad appetite. His breathing was rapid and noisy. He seemed all the time tired and Continuous quite high fever at 104 [degrees]. And most unusual symptom- hives, red pinkish to red bumps on the body. Foremost I thought it was mosquito bites, but unfortunately it was not that. So we decided to take him to pediatrician and dermatologist rather than treating the fever with over-the-counter remedies – my typical habit. i was in ahmedabad to attend my bro's angagement, so we continued his cure in ahmedabad. doctor proceeded to carry out his usual thorough physical examination, after which he announced that he was unable to find a clear source for hives.And finally he concluded pnemonia by taking an X-ray, and several blood testing. And for hives he recommended to visit the skin specialist. According to skin expert that hives was due to increased WBC counts and also it may cause by pneumonia. Subsequently he recommended to keep on with pneumonia treatment, and given the way out that when pneumonia will recovered, hives will automatically be vanished. All these required him to be hospitalized for six days, and further told to continue antibiotics at home for 1 month. But I had an attack of intuition and somehow felt that this was not the explanation, although i did not want to contradict our doctor whom my father in law had respected many years, as they are our neighbor. and also a decent dr., prafull patel. so i did nothing until Dhyey got fever down. All through this instant Dhyey finished first year, we could not celebrate his first birthday. his 13th month was finished by same routine as 12th , but hives was not vanished. So we taken him to the Dr. Raju.C.Shah- Ankur Institute Of Child Health, very intelligent and city-famous pediatrician.But again medicine did not work on him, and shuffled skin expert Dr. Ramesh Poria. Now Dhyey has entered into 14th month, hives expansion has decresed now, we have to observe it for 15 days more as per dr’s estimation. Lets see what happens after that. If it would not be vanished in these 15 days afterward we are scheduling next appointment in breach candy or hinduja  hospital, in our city. we wish the whole thing would be all right.

last month of first year!!!

Dhyey walks alone nowadays and waves good bye. He uses two to three words specifically, he understands familiar names. He indicate his needs. He tries to take off his shoes. He understands commands like “do not put that in your mouth”, “give it to mumma” etc. all over growth was very good by now, but due to some infection (I think viral) he has a extreme cold and cough, so he is not enjoying his playing and regular activities. Some rashes is also visible all over his body. So we are setting up an appointment on this weekend.I hope he get well shortly as we have to attend my brother’s function. he is getting engaged on last week of this month.

Tenth Month

he walks now with out support, and understands a lot like when I say, Dhyey clap your hands, he starts clapping, sometimes he responses "mama", "papa" and "daddy"when i ask him. By this month we visited our hometown where dhyey had a 15 stair-steps continuously inside our premises with out anyone’s support!!! Isn’t it best example of liveliness??? He understands the word ‘no’ but he does not obey that word. He will smile at me and does that again, and makes me laugh. Now he shows little interest in food. He likes potatoes and finger chips, he will eat mashed sabji and roti with lots of fun. You won’t believe,His eating takes an hour. He plays with ball and Driver. He gets upset when his toys or objects are taken away.Dhyey's first walking, holding mumma's hand:

Ninth Month

By this month Dhyey’s teeth formation is started. He got his first cute teeth on 1st December. I was so eager to see that repeatedly. He uses thumb and finger to grasp and pick toys up. he starts crying when somebody sneezes and also do the same with pressure cooker’s whisle. He has begun to identify himslelf in the mirror. he understand the word ”no” and “yes” as i often use these words to stop and start his activities. Still he has no fix schedule, any time he plays and sleeps all that depends on his mood. He crawls very fast to reach for toys. He recognizes our voice. When sarang gets back from office and says where is my dhyey he will run to go with him. He tries to take kitchen utensils and quite ready to throw them when I am in kitchen. More I can say kitchen and fen are his best friends. He has a healthier and attractive skin now. he walks holding onto furniture and stands alone for little time.

Eighth Month

Dhyey has a habit of chewing anything as his teeth formation is near to start. His vocabulary is expanded to Mama, dedda, Yeah, and a few other things we have yet to understand. Dhyey loves hide and seek game. when I speak word “ chup” he starts laughing constantly I just loves his way. He understand a lot now he becomes anxious if he is removed from me and sarang, means he Reacts in a different way to different people.

Seventh Month

Dhyey has just passed a milestone in his development as he has entered into the second part of his first year. So much has happened over the past half year as he is in the early stages of sitting up and has actually started to give me and sarang a break by sleeping through most of the night. In this month dhyey got very nice height, he had always temptation for food and specially chololates, you will not accept as true, chocolate was the first food he ate!!! we get him for outing on every weekend, baby care in is the most enjoyable place for him, he seats there, laugh there, and disturbs eating of other kids. So much has happened over the past half year. he has started to give me and sarang a break by sleeping through most of the night. There is so much to look forward to as I see him developing each and every day. He looks more adorable now. but still there is a little worry in my mind, how to introduce food to him. I tried some baby food to him, but still he is not ready to get them. So I am little worried about that. His arms and legs are strengthen. when I placed him on the floor on his belly, he was not just simply lied there as he had been doing in the previous months. More than likely, he was able to pick himself up off the ground with both his arms and legs until he was in a crawling position!!! However, he was still too young to crawl around just yet. When I Found his arms and legs too tired, he was creeping along in an army crawl across the floor.

Sixth Month

Dhyey is half a year old now. In general baby is ready to eat solid food in this stage but my Dhyey is having mothers milk only, Now he sits by self with out any support and does bubbles whole day, he efforts a lot to obtain the toys. He sounds mumma and dedda clearly. We are expecting him to walk with support, sarang bought a very nice walker come rocker for him, he enjoys a lot in walker and rocker as well. Now he can easily get the things from other room, he loves kitchen holds. He goes to the kitchen in a jiffy and toss vessels. That sound makes him very joyful. He has started drinking mineral water. But still there is no developed sense to set aside fell down from cradle or bed. He is master in coping facial expression. He likes serial title songs. He recognizes his name, when I converse with sarang he will stir his face toward me and pay attention on our exchange like he understands everything on the subject of our talk.
