Buried under mountains of clothes to pack... never realized there'd be SO MUCH to do before a less-than-two-hours flight back home to Bombay! Work seems to have doubled as compared to my trip from Bombay to here.
And to see my completely grown-up parents behave like kids with their sad faces at Button's departure, refusing to let me hold him except during b/feeding sessions.
And the streams of last minute visitors coming in to see the baby. (Didn't they know I was here in the last 3 whole months?)
And his vaccination yesterday (and fever to deal with)
But yippee... am glad am going back home..in time for my b'day... Bombay watch out for us :)
ps: Any Bombayites/non-Bombayites if you can suggest a full time/part time maid/nanny, I shall be eternally grateful and promise to buy you a drink/coffee/or anything else... gentleman's word.
Sayanora Kalpakkam... shall blog from Bombay in a few days, once I settle in.
Meanwhile, Button turned 4 months old today.
* He hates rolling over.
* Maybe its my imagination, but he seems to recognize his name and the word "fan".
* Loves to admire his hands and feet! (For narcissistic tendencies, his mom is to be blamed!)
* Hates to be wrapped up for the night.
* Chews his mittens with a vengeance.
* Gurgles, coos and sometimes says 'da'.
* He sings with me when I sing (offtune) his lullaby for the night(and no, its NOT my overactive imagination, I swear he really croons!)
* Is taller and chubbier and cuter than ever :)
Hey Cuckoo,
ReplyDeleteDo post a latest pic of Button. Just a Q: For how long do babies wear mittens? Aashna refused to wear them from Day 1, so all the mittens that I'd bought for her were wasted :(. Except, when she was scratching her ears all bloody I forced her to wear them for a couple of days.
Have a safe flight! See you on the other side :)

ReplyDeletehope to hear more about Button's antics!
Welcome back!
ReplyDeleteOh, and by the way, here's something I came across in an article on Sarah Palin:
“She’s perky, she’s spunky,” says Republican speechwriter Landon Parvin, who has written for both Presidents Bush. “She has this quality — in a 1950s comedy, her father would call her ‘Button.’”
I think you should sue for defamation by association or some such thing :-)

ReplyDeletehe sings too? That's so adorable! If he's like my BB - it's gonna get louder and louder :)
ReplyDeleteWelcome home... happy you're back! I think you really deserve this compliment - I am not someone who's dying to have babies... but watching you and reading about your experiences... makes it sound so wonderful that I feel I might be willing to walk down that path in the future too. :)
