Kavya (3 years & 11 months) & Ishaan (10 months)

Kavya will turn 4 next month and Ishaan is almost 10 months. These past 4 months have been very busy - full of different activities and festivals (Rakshabandhan, Navratri, Diwali and Halloween) .Summer is now over and we will need to be even more creative to keep the kids busy indoors.

Ishaan learnt to crawl like its supposed to be. He also started standing up with/without support. This past week, he started taking first baby steps. Although he still prefers to crawl, he does take 2 to 6 baby steps few times a day. So, he should start walking pretty soon now. We are very excited and are looking forward to see him running around the house :). He has also started climbing stairs. He continues to be very active. Two of his top teeth are visible and almost ready to grow out. He likes to eat our regular food over his own crushed veggies and khichadi. The other day he ate almost quarter of methi paratha. He also likes fruits such as apple, orange, grapes and banana. He is getting smarter and mischievious day by day.

Kavya is getting better at reading and writing. Her handwriting (mainly upper case letters) is improving day by day. She likes to do small exercises/puzzle like connecting the dots, tracing letters, coloring based on numbers, matching/pairing, finding path in a maze, etc. She can count to 100 in English and to 50 in Gujarati. When she is busy with her own activity like coloring, playing on the computer, building something with lego blocks, etc, she does not like Ishaan coming anywhere near her - she immediately starts shouting :) We have to plan to keep her busy in different activities - otherwise its like 'Empty mind is devil's workshop' :-) Sometimes she is the world's most caring and loving sister and at other times, she is a jealous 4 year old who makes faces and tries to hurt the little one by pushing or holding him tight :)

With two active kids, weekends are more busier than week days :-)

Here are some of their pics :
