Chhori is 18 months old now, a big girl compared to a year ago. Time is just flying by.
It is so true when they say children are like sponge as they absorb everything and it is no different with Chhori.
Recently, she has learned to indicate Yes and No by nodding. I think she is learning all this from the rhymes but she looks absolutely gorgeous when she does them. Also, just yesterday she was putting her both hands on her mouth while laughing. She always manages to amaze me with new stuff every day.
AS had been a great dad and constantly teaches her new stuff and I love watching their interaction. She is definitely becoming demanding now but AS always manages to handle her by teaching that you give in somewhere to get something.
I am so happy that he is so patient with our daughter as I don’t have lots of patience :). I love her to death but sometime she seems to know how to drive me mad.
On the other hand, she has wrapped her grandparents around her ting fingers. She always gets my mum and dad to give her a massage especially her legs. And it has to be both the legs at the same time, one by grandma and one by grandad.
My mum scolds her sometimes when she misbehaves, and threatens to spank her. Now she actually comes to me complaining when I come home and though she can’t say it but shows me a spanking action to complain.
She will miss them a lot when they leave next year.
Her eating habit is changing slowly and we are giving her mostly the same food that we eat. She had 5 chicken steamed momos yesterday proving she is definitely Nepalese. 
She loves to eat everything on her own too. Sometimes it is a problem because with rice it can get very messy but we are teaching her how to use a spoon.
Last week it was her 18 months immunisation and again this time also she didn’t cry at all. I held her the whole time while the GP gave her the shot, but not a sound was made. She was just curious like last time and watched the needle go into her arms. There was a little blood this time but it didn’t make any difference. I am so happy she didn’t cry.
More updates soon.
Take care everyone,

How cute that she gets her grandparents to massage her legs!! 🙂 I love kids and find their behaviors fascinating as long as they are not my own (since I understand it’s very tough to raise kids..) 🙂
I complete understand . I was like that before but one day when you become a mum, you will multiply your love by thousands for your own kids 😀 and enjoy every moment .
Guess what, Australian. Almost all kids wrap their grandparents round their little fingers. I’m not going to tick the box today. This the first time I’m going to try this out.
It is s true. She will miss my parents when they leave for Nepal next year …
