A turns 2 today

A is 2 months old today. We made semiya (semolina) paisa (kheer) at home today to celebrate. True that A cannot have any of the kheer, but we all had it and wished A all the best. I also got a cake for S and me to eat ( i love chocolate cake and wait for any occasion to buy it!).
A is growing up so fast. She has started sleeping for 5 hours at a stretch in the night, keep fingers crossed that she does not reverse the habit as soon as i write about it! She has started responding when we talk to her with a coo or a gurgling noise, her eyes and face follow us when we move around the room, she has started smiling when we talk to her, reaching out for our chain/dupatta/hand etc
Her hair has suddenly become poker straight (like the hubby) -it used to be curly earlier, and she has already started asserting herself- she wont have a drop of milk more than she wants, either she starts howling when i try to give her more milk, or she'll keep her mouth firmly shut.
She's started being awake a lot more during the day and kicking her hands and legs vigorously about. She smiles when her elder sister touches her or talks to her, and follows her around the room with her eyes. S also has started playing somewhat with her younger sister- she pinches her cheeks calling her chubby cheeks, puts cream on her face, tries to brush her hair, tries to pick her up (at which point i have to rush in and stop her saying that she and the baby both have to be older for this), wants to change her nappy- but she draws the line at sharing her Dora doll with A and has asked me to buy another 'small' Dora doll for A!
Happy birthday dear A!
