Sharvi's First Crawl - Poem version

White shirt sprinkles with colorful butterflies,

The brown grass like layer underneath

Two fingers in the haven of the mouth

And two hints of tiny teeth

Eyes so big hearts could melt

My breath takes a wondrous gasp

You can see the process as she contemplates

The distance it would take to grasp

Wobbly body does a shiver

As her hands come down on fives with menace

She threatens to topple but then does not

Puts one knee ahead then another with no finesse

One and two steps of crawl

And then with a thud she does plummet

With razor sharp focus she slithers ahead

Ever accelerating on her stomach 

Within no time she has the prize

The rays of the iPhone setting her aglow

She uhs and uhs, fingers fiddling with nana's image

And chortles in triumph as Mama shrieks NO !!!

Sharvi First teeth

Real acrobat my girl is !! Yesterday started crawling around like Olympiad on her tummy n today took two steps on her knees. Also trying to stand using Aarav's toy box in front of tv n also had her second trip in cart at Kroger. At swimming first time say thru the whole class n as we payed I saw she's got two small teeth coming in the bottom gum :))

Shibham went back to New York and it's been a tough 18 hours with Aarav being cranky, Karan leaving Kuwait, mom dad upset, sharvi not sleeping At all !!! N toaster breaking down. But took Aarav swimming , n the kid to Kroger, came home n both fell asleep instantly. I had sushi . Lying in bed, feeling content, thinking of how sharvi took her first two steps crawling and how I felt her first two teeth, I m thankful for being able to enjoy these precious firsts with my little ones. Thank God !

Blessed morning !

Aarav came to the room saying mama we will get late for school. I said its very cold, roads R Frozen toh school is closed. Sleep. Then he said Sharvi awake. I said go out on light play with her. He entertained her a good twenty mins
