Another month rolled on and I think I am ready to check off the next set of milestones that I hit (my mom said that I was tracking the curve, whatever that means). I can sit upright now without tumbling (my dad was using me as an example to explain the concepts of stable and unstable equilibrium to my sister) (He lost me at “equilibrium”). I am also testing my ability to get what I want by crying at the top of my lungs. Sometimes, I cry first and then think of what I actually want… (I believe there was an expression out West “ Shoot first and ask questions later..” Sounds pretty simple to me..). Also, a couple of weeks ago there was a change in the grand parents in a smooth passing of a baton (unlike the US Olympic team, my dad remarked). My maternal grandparents went back to India and my paternal grandparents seamlessly took over. It is good to be pampered by so many people at home. I also started going out for stroller walks and I am enjoying the crisp November evenings in Sunnyvale. I feel a little cold but I think it is that exhilarating type of breezy cool … (I am puzzled by my Massachusetts-born sister who does not seem to feel cold and exhibits a winter bravado)
Last week, my parents also did a little Indian thingie to name me “officially”. They wrote my name (in a lot of languages) in rice spread out on a plate and they took a lot of photos. (Frankly speaking, they seemed to be more keen on the photos than my official naming ceremony. Oh hey… here are some photos linked). I am guessing they “officially” named me Anukha and not those weird names that people are naming their kids now.
