One with the walking and the nailcutting incident...

Gday ! we thought we will bring you upto speed with what Little Anya is upto these days. she has been crawling at an unbelievable speed already, and has been known to 'take a walk' in the living room with some support. However now things are different she has started to take several steps on her own. She makes it very interesting and ofcourse a bit difficult for her parents to manage her on the changing board in particular. Especially, after having learnt the art of standing up properly, she does not like to be in a horizontol position.

Well, 'risk assessment' wise, it is not any worse now than it was before. She is in any case able to cover the entire floor pretty well. Yes, there are a few drawers that are opened more often, due her increasing strength ( and even the RMS wattage ! ). It appears to be a delicate balance between 'Anya proofing' things and letting her have them. So far, amidst all the confusion, her parents have done fairly well ( says who !?).


Her being able to walk , has definitely unleashed her curiosity, but in a way it has made her slightly more independent and her parents more scared ! ( they have to be on the lookout for sounds from her). A decent well known sound that indicates a harmless 'business' is quite acceptable. However, it is always a challenge to perceive the subtle and quick transition into the silent and not so harmless business. The other day, Little Anya was quite keen on choking on a child safety item ( what an irony !).


Nailcutting has always been a silent operation carried out stealthily by her Mom while Little Anya is asleep. These days, there is an increased level of co-operation and hardly a surreptitious air to the whole thing. Infact it could be quite an interesting event for the bystanders.


It could even turn out to be an opportunity for decent pictures. Little Anya smiles and makes sounds while her Mom shortens her nails.


Little Anya still sleeps the best on her Mom, and we have had umpteen number of photos of her in this position. One of the latest is for you to enjoy .





Finally we leave you with a video that captures the fun filled moments by the dinner table when she is playing with her daddy and a suicide bomber from WWII makes her giggle & laugh out aloud !
