Chronicle of my life, times, this n that

Hubbie isn’t home these days and little V and me are missing him like crazy. I always pestered him to do more stuff around the house, and now I cant’ bear his absence. All I am begging for now, is to sip tea with him in the morning, a drive to my office, a call in the day, a drive to the market, a glass of water when I don’t feel like budging from where I am and of course a peck on the cheek and a surprise hug. oooh! we miss him. (Did I make all that sound like a list of tasks, well lets call it that, its pretty much what he does around here   Rest of his life is devoted to his first wife ie his work. I also have plenty to crib about managing the bills, running around to fix gas supply and such mundane tasks, but I’ll spare you the rust. On another note, I kept up on my fights with him, some happened over phone and some over chats. Lets leave those too.

Little V and me decided to therefore not miss him so much and we are flying to him in a week’s time! hurray!  We are all too excited and busy packing now. We’ve had two very bad weeks of not having him here and we can’t wait to be with him. Little V had his fabulous first flight when he was 5 months, and this will be his second.  So, I am not going to say anything for fear of any sort of jinx *ward off evil eye* and will post in detail about our trip later.

While daddy has been away, Little V has been upto stuff. He now has a clear preference for his books vs his toys and can spend hours looking at them, upside down, pointing at every little detail. Watching him so engrossed in all this, is an all time high for me(yet). He is also particularly fascinated by a certain fisher price toy of balls of several colors and sizes (I cant find the link for it), its the longest he’s been attracted to one toy.  And it is by far the simplest of toys in its make but a lot can be done with those half and full balls. He also now does a little jiggle when any of his musical toy plays. He points to the fan and says fa fa fa. I think from mamamamama he is sort of saying mimimimimi for me which is very cute. He isn’t crawling yet, and trust me I am not at all sweating over it! He has all of his life to crawl to walk and it doesn’t bother me one bit. Very soon time will be gone and I will miss carrying him around everywhere.  He can now position himself to crawl though and can be seen on all four limbs. He’s only moving backwards in this posture right now. Little V likes the fearsome huge dog our neighbors have and he’s always very delighted to see the pet. The moment I say ‘doggie’ Little V wants to rush to the window to catch a glimpse.  Little V can also now get up and sit from a lie down position, which really shocks me, when did this guy learn to do that.  I had been stacking away some of Little V’s clothes that he outgrew which I absolutely adored and hope to someday if and when I have another baby, see these clothes on it. I now have a humungous number of baby clothes, and I do not plan to store anything from now on.  Some of them have memories attached and some are just so cute, I think I will never ever feel like letting go of them. 

The past two weeks felt like ages and I am totally sleep deprived and love deprived right now and pray for me that the next week goes off soon. We will be in obamaland then!
