Dear Aghoo,
You are going to be 1 year old tomorrow. As cliched as it may sound , time does fly.
Baby- I have dreamed about writing this letter to you, even before you were born- before I was even pregnant. I always knew I wanted a little girl. Even so- boy was I in for a surprise. You are a small dynamite.
I always thought that babies were scrawny little things when they are first born- but one look at you and I definitely thought that you are the cutest. I kept asking your dada " is she really pretty or are my eyes biased?". I am still not sure!
At 12 months,
1) You call everyone akka- me/ your dada/ your thatha/ chithi/patti/Padmakka/ the lady in the ad- you get the drift.It is really cute though. That high pitched little chirp "akka" :)
2) You can "clap clap" on demand :). You love to clap and "sing" with me when I sing " if you are happy and you know it clap your hands" first thing in the morning.
3) You also shake our hands vigorously when we say "nice to meet you"-thanks to your chithi.
4) You also know to kick a ball now- also thanks to your chithi.
5) You have been cruising since you were 9 months old- but you have started taking 3-4 independent steps in the last one week !
6) You love to converse with us and want to do everything we do- eat everything that we eat :)
Baby- you are truly a joy.. now if only you would sleep better, life would be perfect!hehe- I know we will get there some day.
Your VC thatha has come here to stay with us all the way form India- esp for your birthday. You made his day by going to him almost immediately ( it did help that he enticed you with chocolate- much to my chagrin!).
You have received so many gifts already from your KKL thatha/patti and VC thatha/P patti for your birthday.Like your chithi remarked, you definitely have more fancy clothes and jewelry than we do for sure.
This time last year, I had no clue that my life was change so much- I was happily skipping around thinking I had at least 10 days to go for my due date.From the very beginning you had your own plans.
Happy Birthday Sweetheart! May your life be filled with Strawberries and cheese :)
