Kiele is very affectionate to all at home

She will move her palm all over your face – and tries to say ‘nice’ meaning to show that she loves us. She will also kiss all of us and say aaa.. hooo.. haaa.. – she will do this only when she wants to.

While we leave the house or when she leaves the house to go to our neighbour’s house she will move her hand – which means bye – and give us all a flying kiss with a smile on her face. When I am at work she will willingly be ready to go to our neighbour’s house or allow any one from the family to carry her. The moment I reach home its only mama who has to carry her or play with her. Then she is afraid the moment our neighbour steps into our house knowing that they will take her, so before they even try to carry her she will cry and turn her face by showing unwillingness to go.

She has also learnt to take blessing from elders by joining her hands. We must say Kiele join your hands and take blessings.. she will immediately do that.

Kiele learns to kick the ball

Kiele has been gifted a big blue ball. She rarely plays with it - like I said in my earlier post - toys and stuff does not fascinate her much. We leave the ball on the floor – and bounce it or throw the ball to show her that we are playing with it - We do this so that her mind gets diverted if in case she is crying or wants to be carried.

When we roll the ball in front of her… I say Kiele kick the ball – she actually lifts her leg up and kicks it. She gets so excited that she could kick it and this shows by her actions and her facial expressions. When she is happy or excited she lifts her shoulders up… and walks fast.. so we understand she is happy.. and excited…

Babes behaviour

Kiele now tries to walk fast…with her fast walking – I need to actually run so u can imagine her speed.

As she is growing bigger she is becoming very stubborn. If she wants something we have to give it or else one should hear the sounds that she makes not crying but the anger on her face and her expressions says it all.

Am just thinking / experimenting ways wherein she can be controlled. One cannot beat her coz if we do that there is no way she will stop from doing things. If I make her understand and by nodding my head – she calms down – but not with everyone only with me, hence am teaching her what is right and wrong.

Like for example – she loves mobile. Mobile is her life. She will never play with any toys. You give her the best of toys to play she will not even look at it, but a mobile… ha.. she can keep herself busy the whole day. Secondly we cant fool her by giving a toy mobile or the piece that doesn’t work.. she will just fling it away.

My one cell is already broken by Kiele… so I purchased another piece the other day and I explained to her .. by saying doll.. mama has bought a new cell so therefore, please do not drop it down or play with it. She has actually understood n whenever she sees my cell on the sofa or table she will pick it up and give it to me.. I am really fascinated by this behaviour.

Home remedy

If your child is vomiting - Roast two green elaichi on fire. Let them turn black. Immediately powder the same and add a few drops of honey and give the same to your child to have - thrice a day - It is very effective - not only for babies but also elders.

Secondly – if your child is crying due to stomach upset – take a little hing add little warm water and apply on navel. Your baby will be fine.

Diarrohea

Baby Kiele had diarrohea problem. Whatever she ate could not be retained. One of my neighbour suggested to give her Arrowroot kunjee. Thankfully she had the arrowroot water and she was fine.. her tummy was under control.

The only thing we gave her was arrowroot the whole day since milk could not be given to her at all and she would not take curd rice.

So to be mothers and mothers keep this in mind – in case your child suffers from Diarrohea immediately start with this and give your baby plenty of water to drink.

Secondly her feet too turned cold. So immediately we boiled some peppercorns in the water, dipped the towel in the water squeezed and placed it on her feet, palms.
