Vidhi now turns around quite frequently and seems to enjoy her new posture. She can also stay longer on her belly without crying though ultimately she does cry. If fascinated by new object then she tries hard to move herself. Currently she hasn't achieved any mobility but her efforts seems have seen progress from trying to grab things by her palms to trying to push herself ahead by lifting her bum.
Her efforts however do lead to her changing rotation and shifting slightly - an event which almost lead to her fall last Wednesday, twice! Once we overlooked her on sunbathing table beside our swimming pool (height 2 feet) and next time we just caught her in nick of time falling from kitchen counter (height 4 feet). We promise to be special careful now that she has shown signs of partial mobility. Her mom has already started putting heavy pillow at her side so that she doesn't slide off the bed when sleeping. Further, her relish at eating anything has only increased and she eats newspaper or even her own clothes. At times she makes chocking noises though no known cause could be observed. We really need to be more careful now.
She takes particular interest in our conversations now and will even pause her feeding if her mom starts talking to look around. She has also learned to make deep guttural grunting sounds which can be described by adults at what made when attempting to do a particular tough #2 job. She smiles a lot these days and shows genuine happiness at seeing her parents and Chachu. Her chuckle and laughter is loud and more fun filled. Her crying for no reason is little less than usual and she has become an more fun person to be with.
