Better Late Than Never - Part II

Ancora foto delle vacanze di Natale a Calicut. Piano piano ce la faremo...
Le prime sono di Appu con il cugino Jayadev; seguono le mie foto preferite di Rohan, prese sfruttando una quindicina di minuti di luce perfetta.

More pictures from our two weeks spent in Calicut around Christmas time. No Christmas references in these photos though, just cute kids. We start with Rajiv and Jayedev being happily together and we conclude with some Rohan cuteness. I couldn't help posting these pictures of a younger Rohan, I think his expressions are priceless. (By the way, that book is quite good and officially recommended by this blog, in case you were wondering.)









Sharp News

A grande richiesta... il primo dentino di Rohan! Il piccolino ha anche la tosse e il raffreddore, povero - e povera anche la mamma, con la tosse e il raffreddore anche lei, e con un bimbo malaticcio e dolorante. Ma Rohan cerca di mantenere il buon umore ed e' simpatico e tenero come sempre!

Guess who just got his first square millimeter of exposed tooth: could it be our little smiling hero, who is about to lose his stage-name "Toothless Wonder"?

Unfortunately little Kunju is also a bit sick, bothered day and night by cough and running nose, but he keeps smiling his way through the day as much as possible. Go Rohan! - soon to be known as "Jaws" (and quite fittingly as we speak he is trying to bite my feet under the table).

Happy birthday, Rohan! Today Rohan turns eight months old.

Buon Compleanno, Rohan! Oggi Rohan compie otto mesi.

The Better Late Than Never Edition - Part I

Here come the Christmas pictures!

Sorry about the poor illumination, except for the photo with achamma putting Rohan to sleep, where the darkness was actually meant to be :)

Come le ciliege

Rohan dice "mamma" (o giu' di li'), ormai ne sono sicura. E come se non bastasse, ha anche iniziato a camminare costeggiando i mobili, sempre appoggiandosi naturalmente. Lui ogni tanto prova a lasciar andare il suo appoggio, ma i risultati sono dolorosi.

Big milestones come in pairs. Rohan is saying "mamma" (and more variations on the same theme). Sometimes he makes those sounds accidentally but S and I are quite sure that often he really means it. He has also started "cruising", i.e. walking holding on to some piece of furniture. Have I mentioned before that he is a genius? :)

Complimese

Ho trascurato i sei mesi purtroppo, quindi festeggiamo i sette.

Non c'e' molto da dire, tranne che Rohan e' un bimbo splendido, dolcissimo e molto intelligente. Gattona ormai con disinvoltura, ma sempre con cautela. La sua vera ambizione pero' e' camminare e si vede subito da come si destreggia a tirarsi in piedi aggrappato ai mobili e a riposizionarsi per terra senza farsi male che la stoffa del bipede c'e' tutta. Dovra' aspettare ancora qualche mese, ma non ho avuto il coraggio di dirglielo. Intanto la settimana scorsa io, Rajiv e Rohan abbiamo fatto un bel girotondo tutti insieme - Rohan tenendo me con una mano e Rajiv nell'altra, contentissimo. Niente male, eh?

E per dimostrarvi che mio figlio e' un genio (entrambi i figli, ma non divaghiamo), Rohan capisce quando dico "Batti batti le manine" e cerca di battere le mani. Sembra l'eroe di un film muto, povero, pero' il movimento c'e', il sonoro verra' con i mesi e la pratica.

Sotto ci sono tre foto: le prime due di circa un mese fa e l'ultima di oggi.

Rohan is seven months old! I didn't make a big deal when he turned six months because I was on a blogging break, so let me make a big deal now :)

Rohan is an adorable baby, very sweet and very intelligent - always trust the mom on this. He is crawling very well now and he is pulling up to stand without many accidents at all - he is very careful and yet daring, because already he tries to hold on to the furniture only with one hand. He makes a lot of cute sounds, he likes people more than anything else and he is learning to clap. It's very early for this, but I told you he was a genius, no?

A few pictures.

About a month and a half ago.

A room without a view

Some of you probably already know the whole story of S's suspected chronic appendicitis, but even if you don't I won't go into all the details here. Suffices to say that S was admitted to the hospital today and he is now, as I type, sleeping off his anesthesia while his appendix rests in a jar.

He is in the same hospital were I went for the same surgery in November, but I had a much better room, with a nice view. His room instead is a little dark and the small window has a not very promising greenish glass. I haven't investigated the view any further but all in all it is a bit depressing. In any case, he will come home tomorrow evening and if he is smart (and is given enough drugs) he will probably spend the time until then sleeping.

I am home alone with the two little guys, but so far all is going well. Should I be scared?
