A's nearly turning!

A has been trying to turn for the last few days and today she was nearly there. She lies on her side and her head is fully turned. Her body is also nearly turned over, its just that little tip over-and that's irritating her! She tries to turn for about 5 mins, then gets irritated and starts crying. Then we have to pick her up, and when we put her down again she turns to her side and starts trying to turn over. Quite entertaining!
She has started also putting things into her mouth now. Her hands, the cloth she is lying on, and the cloth covering her, anything she can get her hands on. She has started speaking also quite a bit now..gah, uhmm..and she responds to people talking to her, my dad especially. He will say "Negadddu" which means laugh in Kannada and she will respond with a big smile, and if he keeps saying it she will gurgle with laughter, my little cutie. She also loves bright or patterned clothes, and if we are wearing anything red, or with an interesting design, just staring at it would keep her occupied for quite some time. She has her own toys now- yes S finally allowed A to play with some toys and her favourite is the noisy snail- it makes a noise if you touch it, and also has a mirror which fascinates her; and also the punchable tiger- its one of those airfilled things which you punch and they bounce back at you. Its really for S, but if we keep it at A's feet she loves to kick it as it is quite soft .
Her feeding is still a problem. For the last month she has been crying everytime we put the bottle to her mouth. Then the last week, the problem got worse with her refusing to feed for hours on end, that too after a 7-8 hour break at night. After 3 days of this behaviour I got psyched and took her to another paediatrician here who said she may be having Acid problem and has prescribed an antacid. She seems better after taking it (Thank God) but not fully ok yet- still have to resort to feeding her with a Palladu about once a day when she refuses a feed consistently.
She is growing up so fast, the days are so busy that you dont realise it, and suddenly you see A and think, how much she has grown in all aspects and before you realise it she will be walking and talking and going to school!
