Finally I have decided to write about my niece NIVA! My 1 year and 3 month old niece is my latest addiction; needless to state any specific reason - Guess the picture says it all. She has just reached the age of identifying and recognizing people around her and the person she keeps looking for all the time is her "Mother". Her routine throughout the day is to sleep, get fed, sleep, wake up, get fed, play, have a shower, sleep, wake up, get fed, play, go for a stroll, get fed and sleep... Now how I wish at times that was my routine too (funny how we wish to be small again when we are around kids). She has an interesting life and sometimes I wish I could read her mind to know what she goes through when people around her keep watching her and pulling her cheeks all the time. It is very hard to know when she wakes up from her sleep since she is a child who hardly cries. Most of the time she only cries when she is hungry but rarely cries when she wakes up from her sleep - she keeps playing in her bed unless and until someone notices she is awake.
Grandfather loves her, Grandmother cannot live without her, Father's pampered daughter and Mother's perfect baby is my one and only Sunshine - My Bundle of Joy! Time spent with her cannot be forgotten and time spent away from her is a punishment for us since we will not be able to be with her as frequently as we want. I spent almost 2 weeks with her (sometime last year while she was just 7 months old) and my experience with her was a little different of how it was with "My Angel" and "My Princess" though a lot of her actions did remind me about them very often (especially "My Angel"). She never did come with me since she was not sure of who I was (it was a new face for her) and unlike “My Angel” I never held her much in my arms.
She is adorable and pretty and the only way I have stayed in touch with her (most of the time) is through What's App and emails... Thanks to my sister who makes it a point to send her pictures and videos as and when she gets time (which is almost every day, by demand). We do try to catch up on Skype as well however Niva is not the one who admires anything that is moving on the Ipad however she is a gizmo freak and loves to pull everything that is available for her to play with! All I now want to do is just fly to her and spend some real quality time with my baby... Hopefully she will let me be part of her world and I know I will treasure all this moments I will spend with her. Thanks to advance technology, I am in touch with my niece as frequent as I want to be. NIVA, we love you and I am coming to meet you soon...
