Lo-do :)

Dear BalluRam,

Guess what ? You've figured out the give and take of life already .. so when mommy says "do( hindi of give) you handover that spongeball to her and then when mama says "lo (take) " you happily grab it from her. Its an exciting game you've just learnt and lemme tell you its equally exciting for us too. Thats the reason we keep repeating the terms and wanting you to play and I am sorry if it makes u feel like some performer ..:). But tell me smthng, why is it that you do not want to sleep even when u are really sleepy .. You keep rubbing your eyes and pulling your ears and are clearly sleepy but you always fight away sleep as if you are afraid that you will miss out on smthng if you accidentally fall asleep.And then when you wake up you cry as if you are upset abt the fact that you accidentally fell asleep :). Why is it that if there is a toy on the bed, you want to play even when u wake up accidentally in the middle of the night. I know its fun that you are an active baby and have so much curiosity .. but then you need sleep too to grow well and recharge your batteries ... and for godssake ! mama papa also need sleep :) .. I mean how do u expect us to be able to give our fullest to you if we are so sleep deprived . These days mama papa are so sleepy we don't even realise how many times you wake up in the night and which of us puts you back to sleep each time. I dunno whether its just sleepiness or the number of nightwakings making us lose count of them . We have arguments in the morning abt whether you woke up 10 or 11 times ( ok there are some times when its abt 3 or 4 times .. but thats rare) and whether you nursed at that time. We switch sides in the night based on which side I nursed you from last and at times the only proof that you woke up in odd number or even number of times is the side i began sleeping on and the side I ended up sleeping on ! Talk abt the analytics that goes into analysing your sleep pattern.
Btw papa is extremely elated because now he no longer needs to keep his access card of work or any other object to lure you in his direction. When he arrives from work these days you just do the fast Army crawl and get to him . You also follow his voice and reach the room where he is changing, and then I have to hastily pick you up before you actually see papa changing :) not that you mind or understand it :)
Mama has a relatively light work day and so is hoping to get back soon to you ... and hug you tiiiight

loads of luv
Mommy
