2 months!

Dear Bulbul,

You're two months old now. 

Just when I thought that you've established a sleep-wake-feed cycle for yourself, you broke off the cycle and wanted to start all over again. Man, you became tough again. But things got better around this month, mainly because I gathered myself up, and started to adjust myself and my life around you. 

You have started growing up bud, both physically and visibly in actions. You have started dropping a lot of smiles and laughs, constantly cycling with the legs, boxing the air with your hands and making up raspberry bubbles all the time, even when you're asleep. You do respond to people talking to you, making sounds and laughing when they talk to you. Once or twice, you do follow people moving from one place to another in front of your eyes. You have found the comfort of the human hands, and refuse to leave their laps if you're really cranky and drift off to sleep in a while, only to wake up when you're put down on the bed. 

Oh, the biggest find of this month is, you're a Social Bird. Yes, you love to be around people and you're mostly happy around noisy places and sleep off peacefully there. You've attended two marriages, been to a late night airport send off, went to a hotel for an anniversary dinner party. In all these places, you were acting just like you belonged there, not a whim or a tantrum. You just love people holding you and have managed to be the centre of attraction in almost all these places. 

This is the month, I have finally found the courage to hold you up over my shoulders and make you burp after feeding. Initially you were pretty cool and lay still without much movement. But now, since your head is almost in your control and you keep dangling it around when I try to burp giving mini shocks to me, and making me extra cautious. Hope the head sets in by end of next month atleast. 

So that's all for now. 2 down and an eternity to go! 

P.S.: You've been nicknamed as bulbul by yours truly!

Love, 

J
