Ishi had her 10th month birthday and celebrated with her first custard! There was supposed to be blueberry cheesecake as well but the bakery goofed up. She also had her first rakhi earlier this month. Prithvi bhaiya came over with Piya Maashi and Vikas Mesho. We had also sent a rakhi to Shubham bhaiya. Menu for rakhi lunch was chicken pulao (Prithvi's favorite chicken leg!), home made cholle-bhature and boondi raita, and kaju barfi, brownies with honey almond ice-cream for dessert. Yumm!
In other food news, we are in the process of planning Ishi's first birthday. So far, the venue is finalized as Club Florence in Gurgaon, caterer most probably Moets. But we are still debating the date! 19th is a wednesday and we want to hold it on a sunday. 16th is a good date, but there is some superstition about celebrating birthdays early. 23rd, the next sunday is too close to Diwali (on 26th). So there we are at present with less than 2 months to go!
On the development side, Ishi has started to clap hands! She can also pull herself up holding someones hands and hang on to the side of the cot. But not pull herself up using the cot bars yet. She is displaying clear moods, likes and dislikes. When she gets angry she does the cutest little left foot stamp, and if on her playmat, stuffs small blocks under the armchair! Today I made her stand holding on to the side of the armchair. Many enticements to try and straighten up failed, but what worked was a bright shiny macbook ... just a little out of reach! uh-oh!
Her preferences are clear. MacBook, blackberry, iPad.... Way to go sweetheart :)
