Her first smile

I donno when usually an infant first smiles............but Akshara smiled the third day after she was born! It was the most beautiful sight for me and Arvind. Although elders say that a baby smiles looking at his/ her parents face only in the 3rd month. An infant smiles while he/she is asleep. There are a lot of theories to it: Some say that god is showing them a lotus and they smile and when he takes it away frm them they cry. Others say that when the squirrel threatens them that they would hit their father they smile and it threatens to hit the mother they cry. Strange are these stories and we ourselves begin to think of what exactly is my baby dreaming about????

Babies in their frist three months would only have their feed and sleep. Akshara was no exception, the only diff being that she would do almost all the activities earlier than predicted. She like all others took immense pleasure in talking to her buddies.....guess who??? none other than the lights, fan and the curtains. Whenever the curtain blew in the wind, she would giggle and do her goo goo gaa gaas. Admiring her own hands is the next stage. Akshara was and is still a talkative baby----yapping is in her blood i guess.....donno someday she would start blogging like me :)
