Abhi has sprung into his first spring!

That is an appropriate title seeing that Abhi loves bouncing. He would bounce non-stop if he could. But, instead he walks back and forth from the living room to the kitchen and explores the same things over and over! Then occasionally I will bounce him or hold him upside down. But, since he is getting so heavy and my weight lifting has pretty much gone down the drain, it doesn't last too long. He gets upset when I stop because he is now starting to show his emotions very well. He must be thinking..."I don't understand why I can't do everything I want all the time!!!" Well as far as the bouncing, lifting, and going upside down...mommy's arms would fall off.

So, Abhi's first spring...Abhi had his first encounter with grass a couple of weeks ago...he was not pleased with it at all. I think it was poking him which he did not care for on his delicate baby skin. This is kind of funny because delicate is not a word that comes to mind when describing this little boy or any part of him. He kept touching it then withdrawing his hand very quickly. Then when he finally did walk beyond the blanket and fell down in the grass, he did not want to put his hands down to help himself back up. He has been out a few times since and is getting more used to it. We are off to the park again this afternoon so more fun in the grass to come. We also took him out to see the bluebells, the picture with appa (daddy). They bloom once a year in April and we got out on a good day when they were in full bloom.

More exposure to flowers...I decided I need to do some planting this spring. What else do I have to do? With a 9 month old not much really...sure. Well, I made a little time and did get some flowers and herbs planted. So, Abhi is checking out some of the blooms in the picture. He likes to pull the pedals off and dig in the dirt(and then put them straight to his mouth of course - more on eating later) so it is a limited time with the flowers for now. He loves to destroy everything mama has made pretty and clean; or is it explore?
