Just yesterday, I was chatting with a friend and she
reminded that I hadn't updated the blog for a while. Just casually, she
mentioned that I had 2 Good Reasons to write. Duh!!
So with the kids - whom we codenamed R2 - who our friends
and family fondly refer to with the moniker, turning a quarter of a year old,
what better time to write something about them.
Here goes the quarterly results for R2, Inc.
With the twins at 3 months, we feel like we have already put
in 6 months of work. While they grow up gracefully, the scene at home (at
times) resembles a scene from The Walking Dead - you know, the one with Zombies
and all..
Just kidding, both parents and all grandparents just
resemble as if they walked with the Dinosaurs..
Again, just joking. I've got to stop with these co-relations
:) Bad for investor relations.
It's been good times generally with a bad few days when the
mood in the house had been somber due to the kids not feeling well and running
high fever - after effects of vaccination injections.
They both started mouthing words which cannot be described
and certainly cannot be found in the English language dictionary. Heck, I can't
even type it. It sounds something like eyaiuaauoiou...They got the vowels right
though.
It would be boring for their first words to be Mummy or
Mamma. I personally would like them to yell "EUREKA " or my personal favorite
"BAZINGA".
When you average out the decibel level of their cries, it
might look like a good day at the office, but when you hear R1G roar, the sound
from a Boeing 777 might seem like symphony orchestra. R1B gives us all chance
to pacify him while R1G gets settled only in the company of a select few. My F-I-L is so good with them, he is nicknamed - The Baby Whisperer.
Photo sessions with them can sometimes be an assignment from
Hell. Not even the bestest of cameras can capture a still - unblurry - photo if
they are not in the mood. Just recently, they started looking at the camera
lens of our smartphones thinking something is going to pop out of them. They
have this "deer in the headlights" look when looking straight at the
camera. Funny but a patience-tester. The good folks at the Passport office have
clearly mandated that photos of babies less than 4 years of age must be brought
by the parents - I am guessing this is from experience dealing with kids
providing nightmarish photo-ops at the PP office. I pity the photographer who
will be capturing the finest moments of R2 for their PPs. God Bless Him!
Sleeping habits are largely unchanged since birth. Long
sleepless nights can be an equivalent of Daal-Chawal - as in a routine
occurrence, while a comfortable night's sleep can only be compared to a full
course meal including appetizer and dessert at Olive Garden (can't help it - it's
one of my favorite restaurants). I, of course, get to enjoy the OG stuff most nights - a fact my burgeoning tummy will attest to - much to the displeasure of KiMo.
Clothes are changed at the drop of a hat - rules such as no
diapers until after dinner time & only when going out of the house ensure
that fire-drills can happen at any given time. Of course, I miss all the action
5 days a week due to my office (I am NOT complaining).
Food habits can be good some days and a scene from a horror
movie the rest.
That said, I wouldn't change a thing about the past 3 months
that have flown past us - well, except the days when the kids were not well. Life
is tough with one kid, it more than doubles down with twins. But, they have
been a blast to be with and look forward to some more glorious times with them.
We are blessed to have these 2 in our
lives.
As I said before, it is a tWin-tWin situation for all!!
