Orange treatment

When I go to Sudha aunty's place , I get Orange treatment ;-)

She knows that I love the colour orange.

So is the orange bedsheet and some orange toys.

Out of all the cars she gave me I picked up my favourite orange car.

We had a nice time today But I missed going to playarea and play in sand as dad had to go elsewhere and we left her place early.

Did you observe an orange car in my hand?

Count down to 2.

Yipppeee!!!  I am a month away from my 2nd birthday. I am growing up. 

Mom started writing down plans for my birthday.

Don't know what's in it :)

Shhhhhh...I'm hiding!

Mom doesn't want me to watch TV. I am hiding in the basket and watching ads secretly.

Shhhhh.... Don't tell mommy that I am here. Okay?

Shake, shake, shake, milk shake shake shake

Now a days I get milk shake every evening.

I don't like to eat fruits so mom does her magic and gives me yummy milkshakes. I love milk.

Chikoo milkshake, Apple milk shake are my favorite. I enoy every sip while mom sings shake, shake, shake , milk shake shake shake

What's your favourite milkshake?

Orange it is! Still.

Do you remember what I said about the colour orange some time back? 

No? let me route you to the post: http://goo.gl/qrJ4oO

Even after months, orange is still my favourite colour.

I got this balloon at my friend Dia's 2nd birthday party.

Working with Water

I love playing with water. Mom allows me to play in water often specially before giving bath.

Early riser

You know I like playing a lot. I mean literally a lot! What you might not know is that I am now following US timings for the playing. Obviously as the Independence Day approaches, dad is worried as mom is tired and I am just excited!

What makes me stay up so late and yet be giggling and playing so early is a mystery to dad and mom. It is not so for me. I don't want to waste time thinking. Let me get back to my play. Good morning folks. Have a great day. I am already having one.

Celebrating the Fourth of July!

The girl in the RED shoes

I am famous for my red shoes in my neighborhood. I have many shoes but I love these as they are musical and play music when I walk.

I am growing up and they are turning tight. I am going to miss them. We are going to shopping this week to get more new shoes which  fit my feet.

I can reach

I can reach heights now :).

My favourite spot now is kitchen countertop and dining table

Mom is so scared and turned very cautious and not keeping any knives, spoons, forks and glass on them.

Dad is happy that kitchen is clean all the time :)

Rava Dosa

My faaaaaaavourite breakfast.

I love eating these dosas in the morning. Mom makes them very thin, crispy and smooth. Edges are crispy and the center part is smooth.They melt in the mouth and is very easy for me to chew and swallow. They are really very very tasty that I ask for more and more.

Here is the picture of one of those mornings( May 28th) when I had Rava Dosa. Any guess  how many did I eat ? :-D 

Do you want to know the recipe?
Let me know so that I can ask mom to share it with you all.

Vday 2014

Mom says dad never missed giving her flowers and gifts on valentines day. Last year I have got a rocker and this year I got a toy. I liked it as soon as mom gave it to me. Here is the Simba's ball drop. I love playing with dad as we compete and fight over dropping balls.  

Dad gave mom a choice to choose any nice place for dinner and she chose street food :). That's why he loves her so much. Mom is never demanding :) and loves to live a simple and lively life. 

SIP and SAY NO

It's turning hot day by day so mom wanted me to have some coconut water. She gave me coconut water in a small glass this noon. I took two sips and refused. Not because I did not like but... just like that :-) .
Though mom never  force me anytime to eat or drink, she I think wanted to try this time.
She requested to have some more as it is healthy for me specially during summer. Looks like mom got an idea. She poured water in to another bowl and offered to me.

I was in a naughty mood and thought to play a game called "SIP and SAY NO ". So I had two more sips and refused to drink. Mom changed the container again and I did the same again "SIP and SAY NO".
She kept on changing containers and I kept on having two sips and rejecting.

Finally, I drank a small glass full of coconut water.

Mom is happy and I am happy. I enjoyed playing this game.

Do you or your baby do some crazy things? Wanna share one?

My walker

Here is my traditional wooden walker which dad bought from Chennapatna toys store. Isn't it so colurful and good looking? The colors are natural vegetable colurs so they wouldn't harm me.

I still haven't started using it as a walker but I play with  it. Once I start taking steps ( which I would start any day soon) I will be using it for balance.

Did you read what I shared about WALKERS ?

No? Here is the link (my post on walkers). You would know why dad got this wooden traditional one rather picking up any other glamorous walkers.

30 books in 30 days challenge

Mom and me are participating in "30 books in 30 days challenge" being conducted by 'The BubbleInk'.
Mom loves to read books for me and I love to listen. When I grow up I will read all these books on my own. Mom's dream is to design a nice reading corner for me with hundreds of books.

Dad started reading books for me when I was still in mommy's tummy. I was -4 months old ( Mamma was 5 months old pregnant) That's when I started listening to sounds. I am sure I will love reading books when I grow up because my Grand dads, Grand moms, Dad  and Mom love reading books. So reading is in my genes :-).

Can I share a secret? Mom and Dad went out for a shopping on August 15, 2012 and bought so many books for me (The first shopping for me). But I have sooooooooo many books which are from dad's childhood book treasure.

You know what I read yesterday. "The Magic Toy shop". I will keep updating you on the interesting books I read. 

Re-purpose

Mom likes to Re-use and Re-purpose many things at home. 

One of them is our washing machine that turns in to a magnetic board when I play with alphabets.

Isn't it Cute? 

The visible white

EEEEEEEEEEEE,,, Look at meeeeeeeeeeeee. My pearls are out. EEEEEEE

My smile is more and more beautiful now.

Mom wanted to capture my sprouted gums from morning but I wasn't opening my mouth. 

I was shy :). 

She gave me this vicks box and here we go... she caught them right on the day1.

If you are NOT happy and you know it...

If you are happy and you know it you clap your hands, stomp your feet, Jump up high, say hurray but what do you do when you are not happy and you know it?

I close my eyes with both my hands :).

I climb

Subtracting one 'to-do' from mamma's list.
To put me in rocker and get me down.
I can manage it now :).

Tissue Tissue.. don't make an issue

I played with so many tissue papers and boxes.

Mom generously gives me tissue boxes to play with. I pull each tissue paper slowly with my fingers and throw. Initially, I tried tasting them but they weren't tasting good. Now I only tear them to bits and pieces and the floor or the bed completely looks white. 

Sometimes when Dad expresses his dislike for what I do, Mom says, Oh! common, It's just a Tissue... please don't make an issue. Then they both laugh-out  together :-D. 

She says this act of mine help me develop my pincer grasp and sensory skills. While cleaning the floor she also sings the song

" Bits of Paper, Bits of Paper,
Lying on the floor, Lying on the floor,
Make the place untidy, Make the place untidy,
Pick them up, Pick them up".

Beauty sleep and lighting

Lighting can't disturb my beauty sleep :)
Good night.
