9 Months Already? (OR: Hey, are you eating that?)




Maybe it was the 8 1/2 months that Jaideep didn't sleep through the night, or maybe it was the hormonal roller coaster of motherhood plus multiple jobs, whatever the case... we've got a 9+ month old already!

He's got teeth and knows how to turn on and off the faucet. He's standing and bouncing to music. He roars like a lion and laughs and laughs when dada tickles him. He punds his fists on the table when you don't get food to his hands fast enough. He's not interested in baby food, and he loves trying to keep up with bigger kids. Jaideep's a busy little man. The pediatrician has recommended trying to keep hour little Pinto of a baby from harming himself while not standing in the way of progress.

To that end, we're working to give care without ruining the fun of discovery. After all, how would you know what floor spice or snow taste like if you didn't try them?

Next on the agenda: Walking.
