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.

Baby can walk



Kiele is now one year old. She can walk on her own. She understands when we tell her to sit or stand. We try to talk to her and explain to her what is right and wrong. If she tries to pull things etc. from the table or sofa we try to nod our head by saying that its wrong and she immediately leaves that place.

She loves to eat what the others are eating and most often we do give her unless things which are really not meant for or too much of oily stuff.

She has this habit of thumb sucking which we are trying to make her understand that its bad will keep you guys posted once we are successful.

Baby had a fall

Baby had a fall



Kiele tries to do many stunts – so one morning as she was sitting on the chair she tried to stand and stuff. In the bargain she fell and over her the chair. She was crying bitterly coz she was hurt badly. Her left cheek had turned red.

We immediately rubbed ice on her face and head. Though she could bear the chill but we did not stop from rubbing the ice. All you mothers – always remember when your child has a fall – immediately rub ice on the affected part and give the child some water with sugar mixed in it to drink.

Baby climbed stairs yesterday

Kiele is in her 11th month. I had been to the tailor yesterday so since she was not letting me explain the pattern and stuff I kept her on the floor so that I could finish with my work. My brother was of course there with me so I was sure that he will keep an eye on her.

Kiele crawled outside the tailor shop and my brother was watching her what next she would do. He was shocked to see her climbing steps, he immediately called out to me to see Kiele’s new development I left everything to have a look at her – I too was surprised to see her climbing steps. She climbed 8 steps and was still going further but since the place was not quite clean my bro lifted her up.
