Master Pandey started cooing a few weeks ago – blah, that’s old news. He even started smiling and recognizing folks around him – old news as well.

The latest round includes improved motor skills and extreme effort to guide his hand towards anything that interests him – Daddy’s nose, Daddy’s ring, Dada’s hair, Mama’s cheeks or Dadi’s necklace. Like a Cruise missile, the hands zero-in on the target. Unlike the Cruise, it takes tens of minutes to find it’s target, and the target is lost in a jiffy.
