Letting go!
How long does it take to wean a child from you? Most breastfeeding mothers would say in about two years from birth, they let their child naturally wean away.

Siblings
It's interesting to see how communicative you are. You coo and gurgle a lot more than your brother at this age. It's almost like one can have a conversation with you with your cooing responses. Your gurgling began quite early, within two weeks of birth ( Read more... ) -

Big tantrum
Our Bangalore trip was fun. The highlight was seeing our friend, maaku on lavell road. That was a sight. You were so taken aback to see him right there, in front of you. The best part was him scratchings his crotch...you now imitate that well ( Read more... ) -
Full time mum
It's a tough one being a full time mum, giving up a supposedly good corporate job, chuck away the secure money, trade the confines of an AC cubicle to being a harried mum on call 24/7. Not a pretty picture ( Read more... )
