3 months old..!

My dear Girl,

You turned three months today!

Yep I know how days had gone so fast and before you and I knew you are already three months old!In these three months you have achieved significant milestones. You have not grown to be just very pretty but also have become witty!!

Your first achievement was in language (ya girl after all..:) )                                               You became to grumble at some two months. But about 15-20 days ago you suddenly said your first word, it was ‘Anku’. Yep yours aunt’s name!

And then came cuoooh cuoooh...Ok that’s not a word actually, it is the voice of cuckoo.  So Three months and two words in your kitty, not bad J 

Some pastries on her 3rd month Bday

Now with verbal progress you have made physical progress too, this happened some one week ago. You now are able to completely turn over on your tummy, and are able to move a bit further with the force of your knee.  Clap clap clap bravo my child, we are so happy to see you move by yourself! But this had made us more alert, 24x7 you are under observation. Big pillows always surround you now and mama is extra alert at night when you sleep.

One more achievement is your grip. You now firmly hold any toys, cloths, hairs (ouch!) etc. that come along your way.

Not to forget, some of your new experiences like first rain. It was thrilling experience for you and for us too! (Don’t worry mama had recorded it all J) and a first walk (you in your grandpa’s arm) on the road.

And off course you have got a lovely name now too!
This sums up your three months big achievements.

 Happy birthday my dear princess J

Naming ceremony

What kept me busy and away for a while from this blog was the naming ceremony of my child.Ok honestly most of the preparation was done by my sis, mom& husband in the said order...

So what kept me away was my laziness, but today I decided to write this post simply because I am so very eager to share the event..

We had a naming ceremony of my baby on 1^st may. This day was decided for two reasons, first it was an auspicious day according to Hindu calendar and second it was Labour Day and Maharashtra day so there was a public holiday (I never understand, here in Maharashtra for what reason this leave is given. For the first reason or the latter or for both..)

So we had this event in a nearby reception hall, it was in the morning at 10 am. Guest were invited. The timing had really made me nervous, getting ready and making my baby ready before 10 am seemed to be a challenge for me. But I successfully achieved it J . (I had to wake up at 6 am in the morning).



We reached the reception hall by 9.30 as few arrangements were to be done. Guest began to appear and in a while the hall was full. The ceremony began...



This Ceremony is quit a simple, compared to other Hindu ceremonies. My baby daughter was kept in a cradle, cradle was decorated with flowers. We all sang some typical songs dedicated for this occasion. Then her aunt i.e. my SIL bend down, and whispered the name in my baby’s ears and we all rejoiced.

Whispering the Name!

The name was announced, and the name we kept is ‘ISHWARI’. It means goddess in Sanskrit. So my baby is now called Ishwari J
Here is the flex print I made for her to be displayed on the stage,

I admit although it looks very simple, I spend lot of time to make it perfect.

Then the ceremony was followed by a grand lunch!

The best part of this was how Ishwari kept silent throughout the function. First she slept till the time she was kept in cradle, and when she wakeup she kept on smiling and enjoyed the celebrations. She did not cried accept when hungry and it happened just twice... phew!

See, the girl kept sleeping..

Getting admired by my aunts ...

Off course this made her favourite of every one, and we the parents beamed with joy!
