Delighting the baby with a sister face at the back door window.

Satvinder got this doll house as an early birthday present. (Thanks, Mimi!) We couldn't hide it anywhere in our house so Satvinder got an early start. (And that's fine by her...if she had it her way, she'd be celebrating her birthday year round.) Sukhjot likes it too. Satvinder incorporates her by saying she is a "baby giant" that shows up in the Barbie world sometimes. It makes sense - Sukhjot does like to chew on Barbie feet.

Stack. Knock Over. Laugh. Repeat.

Children as Spiritual Teachers

My latest post for www.Yogamint.com acknowledges our children as amazing teachers. As parents, we are so focused on what we need to teach our kids - meanwhile, they are teaching us all kinds of lessons just by their existence and reflection. They may be tiny but they are powerful in their push for growth.

Cuteness Overload

My clever husband made this picture - for those of us who just can't get enough of Sukhjot. (click on the picture to see a bigger view)

Glimpses

Here is a short video of Sukhjot taking a step. Learning to Step. This video is from a few days ago. Since then she's already learning to do 2-3 steps at at time.

Sukhjot loves this pig. It is Satvinder's pig but luckily they have been willing to share.

10 Months

10 Months now. She says "Ma Ma" for me and "Bah Bah" for Mangala Sadhu Sangeet. She steps. Her crawl is fast as lightening. Exploration: every cabinet, tiny spaces between pieces of furniture, inside my mouth and behind my teeth. She wants to know about it all.

She does not want to sleep. She wants to go and go and go.

And so she does - with a smile on her lips and joy in her eyes.
