Nevin: Q3 2009



Nevin is now 15 months old. He vocabulary is still primitive but he is able to let us know that he is thirsty, hungry, sleepy, etc in his own baby language. Along with knowing the different parts of his body he now also knows the sounds that different animals make... cows go moo, ducks go quack quack, sheep goes baaa, and the best of all is the rabbit where he kind of clicks his tongue on his two front teeth!

His gross motor skills are rapidly developing and he can easily pick up and throw a soccer ball, pick different foods and feed himself, etc. He does not like sweet food or juices. He does not like drinking milk but he likes to drink water. His current favorite foods are chicken fingers with garlic bread, tandoori chicken, chicken curry with rice and yogurt, lentil soup with rice (khichdee), cinamon rasin toast and crispy veggie sticks.

Nevin showing off his skills....



Here is Nevin showing off his listening comprehension skills. He knows where his head is, he knows where his nose is, he knows how to fold his hands like he is praying, he knows how to burp, he knows how to fart and he tries to sing along to a cheesy Bollywood number!!

Nevin is about 2 weeks short of his first birthday. As we speak, his aunt Aarti and Pooja are shopping for his party! We're building a deck and hopefully that will be finished by the time his birthday is here. Nevin also attended Hetal and Sunny's wedding (another first) and had a blast!!

Nevin is a few days short of being 11 months old. He is now able to climb up the stairs all by himself. He stands up by himself and balances pretty well. It seems like he is only a few weeks away from being able to take his first few steps. Nevin visited his cousin Tony in Ann Arbor last week and had a blast playing with all his cousin's toys. He also celebrated Tony's 4th Birthday at Jungle Java in Ann Arbor. He was a champ during the 4 hour drive to Michigan and did not trouble mommy and daddy at all :) His mom and Aarti maasi (aunt) are making big preparations for his 1st birthday party and the planning for the event is well underway!!

Nevin: Month Ten


Click for pictures
Nevin is 10 months old. In this month, he celebrated his first Easter and attended his first birthday party at Akhil, Sonali and Aadit's house. He is crawling all over the house now and gets into all the nooks and crannies that he shouldn't be in. Nevin will show you his tongue if asked and will also brush both his hands together and shake his legs when you say "hands" or "legs". He knows the difference between a balloon and a ball :) His favorite TV shows are Clifford and Sesame Street, especially the theme song of Sesame Street. It sometimes looks like he is trying to sing along with it!

Nevin is 9 months old. Here he is just after getting his second hair cut ever. Nevin has started crawling now and is not afraid of exploring all the space around him. We are working on baby proofing the house. He now knows what a ball is and will run and get the ball if asked :) He also looks at the TV every time someone says "Clifford"!
