Holidays

Abhay met another Chittappa (Uncle) today. He did not show any stranger anxiety at all. So the theories are
- Anand resembles Vijay and since he is used to Vijay he did not react adversely.
- Anand is so soft spoken that he did not get scared.

The newest antic is he searches the tags in everything and then goes after it to put it into his mouth. He ate the tag on his play mat, his blankie, my blankie, the crawl ball, the lion toy in his walker. The height of it was he was trying to eat the tag in his own clothes during diaper/dress change.




Interesting things seem to be happening on the diaper changing table today. He was being fussy as well as very impatient on the table. So I gave him a wet wipe to hold. And as usual he decided to put it in his mouth. I said no with a vigorous hand shake and head shake and pulled it out. He started laughing. He then slowly puts it into his mouth all the while watching for my reaction. If I said no again, he starts laughing. If I said nothing, he also went quite.

We had a pretty good outing today ( the day after Christmas) - went to Costco, then the mall. Abhay was very happy watching the multitude of people, things and places. He could not get enough. Even though he was sleepy he kept resisting as there was so much stuff to look at. He finally slept for 30 minutes in the Sprint store as we were buying new phones.

The highlight of the day for me was that the mall closed at 7 pm, just around Abhay's feed time. I was in the ladies restroom and when I heard a loud click. And lo and behold the door was locked. I banged loudly all the while still feeding Abhay. The security person opened the door and told me that the mall was closed and hence the restroom was also closed. I walked out into the sitting area and finished feeding him. The surprising part was Abhay was peacefully feeding, did not make any noise through all this drama.
