Many children these days roll over late. Nisarga is one of them. Its not that he can’t. He just doesn’t seem interested. He has rolled over from his tummy to his back and vice versa more than a few times. He can. But he is content to lie how he is. I must admit that… Read More »
Signing wave at less than three months?
Okay, I think this guy is a budding signer. But then I think he’s awesome at everything, so…. I’d been showing him the sign for wave (among many other signs). Most of the time, he just stares blankly and there is no way to know if he even is getting anything out of it. Other… Read More »

Communication Development at 7 weeks old?
I find myself communicating with Nisarg very easily. He is just 7 weeks old. If I have to look back and see what helped me the most, the single biggest thing was observation. Endless observation. Listening. Endless listening. I found myself constantly putting myself in his shoes and trying to understand the context of his… Read More »
