On the ramp.

The 'Aisha-Fashion Show'.

Half-Sari Sensation.

 

Clicks by Aisha.

Guess the person behind the camera now? Aisha. She wants mom's phone and then she starts the clicking. I sometimes hide my cam icon in a couple of folders and even then she finds out. Some of her astounding clicks -

Aisha's first shot:

Aisha's grandpa. I advised her to look for the face when she focuses a picture. Well, she focused at the face, but that was with her own eyes. 

Snaps of her cousins, and her little legs.

Grilling chicken.

Fresh Farm Veggies.

My FIL is fond of farming. When FIL comes home from his garden, Aisha loves to dig out his harvests, and play with a few. Some sanps...

Weaning Part III

Last month my main attention was to stop nursing Aisha when she is not sleeping. Usually she asks for 'milk' when she is in pain, angry or simply when she gets bored. I had to use many tricks, like focusing on something else. When she in pain, I used the treatment trick - used a tube of her baby cream as an ailment for her pain. Three balls of non-medicated homeopathic pills also do the trick. I have succeeded in it.

Animal Friends

Aisha loves animals and is not afraid of them until we frighten her by saying it will haarm her. She runs behind the frogs, lizards, dragon flies and butterflies to catch them. Here are a few snaps of her.

So many weddings- II

This time it was hubby's cousin sister's wedding. The Nikah was done a week before the reception. In Kerala, on wedding day the relatives of the groom comes to the bride's home, dress her up and take her to the groom's home. In some part of Kerala the couple come back to the bride's home and spends the night there. Although Nikah means marriage where man and woman become husband and wife, in Kerala, Nikah is seen only as an engagement.

During the Nikah.

We bought a necklace for the bride, and Aisha wanted to wear it for sometime. I don't usually opt gold accessories for Aisha.

Gift for her Aunt.

We reached the place on the eve of the wedding and spent the night there. After dinner,  the family was grouped according to the gender, and we started singing. Aisha started dancing! We sang till 1:00 am, and it was only after that did Aisha go to sleep.

Wedding Day.

Since Aisha has become more social now, I don't have to worry much about her. But the missing-event of last marriage has made me more alert. I don't want to miss her again!

Sura-al-Ikhlas

Masha Allah, Aisha learned Surath-al-Ikhlas by heart. She needs to concentrate on her pronunciation  but , Alhamdulillah, she did fine. Proud mom!

I wish I was a child once more...

Weaning Part II

Alhamdulillah, so far so good. I've completed task one. Aisha no more asks me for 'milk' when we are out of our home, for not more that one day. She sleeps in the car during her afternoon nap. And yes, I've switched back to front-closed dresses rather than front-open dresses I used while nursing Aisha.
So now, we are heading for the next task, decide on another option for pain reliever.
