Happy Ninth Month birthday....Joy!!

Every month since Joy has been born ...I try and do something special on his "month " birthday..... This time too.. I had been counting the days for a while.... but yesterday.. I forgot all about it....



Today is Joy's ninth month birthday.....



Joy kept waking up every three hours last night.. so I was a bit cranky.... plus I had been nursing a swollen lil toe.. thanks to ramming it against the bed...hence... in otherwords... I wasn't the best person to be around early in the morning...



We don't need to look at the clock everymorning.... Joy lets out this wail at around 5.30 am every morning..... and then we pat him back to sleep... he quietens down for ten mins and at 5.40 am... I can usually feel someone tickling my back ..or trying to put his chubby lil finger up my nose... or if I am spared.. I can hear the husband..going" oh! ho! Buro.... chool taane na..." which means Joy has turned the otherway and is tugging at his fathers already sparse hair....







This morning....I half opened my eye to see something chubby squirming past my shoulder.... and when I turned my head in that direction... I saw Joy holding on to the headboard and about to take off... naturally I yelped... and the husband who was in the loo... almost ran out... lol.. quite funny....







Anyways... I forgot to hug my son... who was now 9 months old.... however not everyone forgot like we did....



His fans.. aka... his D'shona..( my mum ) and his Dadu and Nammi( the husbands parents) were the first people to send in their greetings.....



Am still waiting for my Mother-in-law's birthday poem... she sends one every month.... for Joy... very sweet....

"I call your Pa my Sunshine and your Pini my Rainbow

What do I call you my little darling beau?

You rule all our thoughts & aspirations

Praying ardently that each stage of your growing be reason for celebration

A beautiful body mind & soul you need to have in life’s journey

May you achieve this with all help from your Daddy & Mommy!

P.S. You are the beacon in the autumn of our lives …!

Love - Dadabhai
Nammi "

( it came in before I posted this...so here it is)

I was wondering what to do with Joy today.... then thought that since he was 9 months old now.. he was a big boy... and hence should go out with his Ma to run some errands and do some shopping ... despite it being 44 degrees outside...( My mom yelled at me when she found out...)







Anyways we had fun.... we went to two toy stores to help a friend pick up something for a nephew...You should have seen Joy's eyes... they went from big to bigger at every store... I could forsee our future....I called the husband to let him know.. that we were in for a lot of tantrums.. in the near future... LOL







After all the shopping... we went to cool down at the Barista... Joys favourite... I thought he should go to his favourite place on his 9th month birthday... and yes he had his "mango smoothie" ahem.. we didn't even have to order... the guy at the place just saw us ..and got us two mango smoothies and a big slice of apple cake...







Then we came home... Joy was quite pooped by then..... and crashed out for a good two hours... I got a break too....



We came home to find a lil package awaiting us.... his D'shona had come over while we were out with a great fisher price toy and a set of clothes for him....I don't know what she will do on his 1st birthday... she celebrates his every month birthday like it was his first year birthday..... she has me quite worried....!!!!

Joy wearing the clothes and playing with the toy his D'shona gave him

Am now waiting for a friend to drop in for a cup of tea and her daughter is Joy's friend... since its miserable outside... I think they will have to make do with Joy's room and play with his million toys .....while we sip our tea and make some sensible conversation.....

Am feeling guilty I haven't baked a cake for Joy today.. I usually do.... but .. theek aache...in this heat I suppose a big hug and a kissie should suffice..

Happy 9th month birthday my baby
