Yesterday was a landmark day! Remember the crawling that Suhaana has been almost able to do but then not quite yet? She would get on all fours, take one step forward and then fall on her chest? Well, we just graduated from that class! As of yesterday, the little girl is able to go places now. She crawls! Me and Raj were just looking at each other laughing in disbelief as the little doll was coolly striding away on the carpet.
In fact it would've been a landmark day even without the crowning jewel of crawling under Suhaana's belt. When I kept her down on the carpet to play yesterday, I thought she would lie down and roll over. But instead, she sat! She had been an assisted sitter for the last few weeks - she was able to sit with some back support. But as of yesterday afternoon, she was sitting by herself, with her little doll and looking around at toys to pat and smash nearby! I was amazed at how coolly she was sitting by herself, looking around; as I was hovering around trying to get a good picture of this new feat.
I should add, at this point, that as of last week, the little girl has also been walking by holding hands. We actually took a video of this one (turns out we're far behind on keeping up with her, she's doing something new every day!). Some days I just stack her next to the sofa, and she's able to stand for a few seconds holding the sofa seat with her hands. If she sees something on one corner that she wants to grab with her hands, she slides towards it rather quickly. If the sofa seat has the ipad and photos she can look at and shining screen that actually does something as she touches it, the standing lasts longer.
Her grandmother (my mom) who joins us next week, can't wait to get her hands on her. And as much as I already smother her, niether can I.
