There's things happening 2

We've been quiet on the blog for a while now.

We don't lead a very exciting life (looking at you, people getting married soon, people recently travelling to Korea, or people giving birth about now), so the blog is often just photo updates.

I work like a dog 11 days out of 14 and spend hours on public transport. Deepti seems to spend a lot of time dancing a jig trying to get N to sleep during the day or sitting on benches in shop centres. There's the usual routine:

730am: AS wakes ups.
820am: AS wishes DS and NS a good day. Drives to tram stop.
840am: AS on tram. Pressed up against window because Melbourne public transport is a dog.
905am - 530pm: AS Work like a dog
900am - 630pm: DS awakes with NS. Routine of wake eat play sleep. Dance jig.
630pm: AS Gets home, eat watch news and play with N
830pm: N in bed. DS follows out of exhaustion
930pm: AS follows DS and NS to bed.

Repeat on a theme 11 days out of 14. Except the eleventh day, the dog works even harder. No witty banter am afraid there either. Oh wait hang on: look daddy, one dog's sick and the other is pushing it to hospital (Graham Kennedy...).

Naina seems to enjoy stuff. Like lying at the front door looking outside on to the lawn and at the sky. Going for walks in the pram. Playing with mum and dad. Her reflexes are getting better and I am sure I saw her lifting her head today. She grabs things quite quickly (and of course puts them in her mouth) and finds somethings more funny than others.

Over the weeks and months, an essentially blank look has become more and more awake. She recognises me quicker and quicker when I come home at the end of the day. What uses to take 10 to 15 seconds of look, daddy, is now 1 to 2 seconds and then big smiles. Lots of laughing and smiling and lots of giggles. Just how we love her to be!
