After returning from our stay in Delhi, first order of affairs was to find a replacement for Leela. After much effort, we got Laxmi, a 42 year old with children and a grandchild of her own! She was obviously used to babies, and took to Ishi quite well. However, a few days later, Leela called up and wanted to return. While this again upset the apple-cart, without doubt, Leela had been with Ishi since she was a month old, and her superior knowledge in taking care of both Ishi and the house outweighed the financial implications of letting go of Laxmi. So we put our trust in fate, and got Leela back.
Ishi showed great adaptability, and was fine with both Laxmi and Leela. She did show some recognition of Leela despite seeing her after almost 2 months, though I'm not sure how much of this was our wishful thinking. In any case, she did not give us any trouble with all these changes in her well-ordered life.
With Leela back, and the days getting warmer, we've given Ishi more freedom to move about in the house. She still isn't walking/standing on her own, but she is exploring far more and learning new things. One of the things she has learnt is how to crawl over the threshold to the balcony. Here is the first time she did it.

29 February 2012
Its Leap Day. A day to do whatever we feel like. Ishi feels like playing with mud!
The days are just packed! :)
