Growing Maithilee: learning to sing

Maithilee is growing and is now more than 2 ft long and 5.5 kilos. It is hard to hold her and play while I am standing. Gosh, even my age is apparent to me now :-(

Here are the latest pics (March/ April). The usually good girl...






Oh My My ! I am having a bad hair day!!!





Hey, don't disturb... I am reading (aloud)





See I am teething, so I chew on my toy!




once again, closer look at my bangles, my new, new bangles...

Putting Maithilee to sleep

To put Maithilee to sleep, I need to sing songs, do dance, rock her on my lap. I steal kisses, which she resists. If I'd give her one Euro for one kiss, she would soon be a millionaire!! I call her names (मिठू , ढूमकू, भीमसेन), tell her stories of her parents' greatness... and how it could easily have been much worse :p

If all this fails, I tell her that story from Sholay. Here is the result ! (btw, this photo was clicked at the first-month celebration party, Pandeys came over!)

Mahalaxmi in Netherlands

The eagle has landed !! And Mahalaxmi looked lovely and healthy. She is growing, and glowing, see!

Some more picckies !

The other day I took a short walk around to click some pics using Francisco's mobile phone camera. Just to give you an idea of the serene surroundings.

wooded areas around




Passing through the woods are the cycle paths



Just around the jungle are flat pasture lands



And cyclists go just about everywhere!



Turning back to the dish, which is right in front of the above bike path (behind my back)
