Coming back after a long hiatus. It takes some discipline and time to sit and put together words and I am short on both. But this is something that really needs to be done. When Rysa grows up I wish her to know more about her baby days than videos and photos can tell. So you know now, we have named her Rysa.Her dad found the name for her. It means 'laughter' in Latin. It has an origin in Russian & Sanskrit as well but that will be a topic of discussion some other day.
As I sit here typing, Rysa is giving me a naughty smile as if she knows she is being written about at this very moment.
I joined back work 5 months back when rysa was about four and half months old. The first day to work, I was really homesick and how I missed Rysa ! However, that was something that had to be done. To be at work is very important for me. At some point during my pregnancy I used to wonder if I would want to take a break from work and be a full time mommy. I have the answer now, I need the professional me to be complete. I am fortunate that the decision for me was not difficult and I have Rysa's grandmother to thank for it. We also have two girls 'Poonam' and 'jeevanti' at home who help us with our household and bringing up Rysa. Rysa loves playing with them and I say this with almost a hint of envy that at times she enjoys their company more. Needless to say the whole household revolves around this nine months old and I am afraid she almost knows this ! Her daddy call her 'naughty king' for all the tantrums she has already learnt.
These days her favorite object is a cellphone. We even got her a toy cellphone which actually rings and speaks but our girl somehow can makeout that its a fake. She wouldnt settle for anythng but my cellphone. Today she chewed on it and I think most of her saliva sipped into it. The poor phone has lost its sound and wont ring loud enough. I hope that once it dries it starts functioning properly.
Until sometime back everybody in my husband's family thought she resembled him and had no trace of me. The good news is she now resembles me more than anybody else and it almost gives me a great sense of privilege and achievement that she chose to resemble me aswell !! (giggle)
Its her ninth month birthday tomorrow. We have been celeberating her birthday at home every month. This time we will go over to my parents place to celebrate her birthday. Being away on an official trip, her dad is going to miss this one.
