Meet my friends!

Mom and Dad are my best friends. I play with them. But I also have few more favourite friends I love playing with.

Amelia the monkey and Bedelia the hippo - I kick them and hit them. They make funny sounds. We named them after my favourite story Amelia and Bedelia.

Pilloo the caterpillar it runs away from when I try to catch. It's so colourful.

Balu the ball - my first soft football. It's colourful and so soft. This is my first soft toy. Dad bought this for me much before my arrival. He wrapped it like a chocolate.

Tigger the tiger -  I can't change his name now because he is 1928 born. He is like my great great grand father lol...

Tigoo the puppet tiger  moms favourite. It sings and acts for clap your hands song.

And mummy's mittie the teddy bear. It's soooo huge. Dad's gift to her. When mom fought with dad for the first time and was angry , dad brought this to cheer her up. Oh, daddy, you are so sweet.

Dad kept his Mcd collection from 2006 ( that's when the first mcd started in Hyderabad ) packed so that I can grow up and play with them. I will post their pictures when I unwrap them.

Did you like my toys?

Nibbly nibbler

Dad says it is a joy to wake up to biscuit powder all around the bed and having half eaten biscuits all around the house. Wherever you go you might find a half nibbled, evenly shaped biscuits in our home. Here is a pic for you.

Dad says it is so cute and nice but I give mom a lot of work in cleaning up which she is just happy to do. I need a clean home, don't I? After all I am all walking, moving, shaking, dancing, exploring and throwing things when I am not playing, reading, writing and having fun. All part of a day's work.

Okay. Now I have to go in to stealth mode and attack dad and wake him up before the alarm. Yeeeeeee... Dishkyion...

My mommy dearest

For the past few days the flat next door is being renovated and they keep drilling, breaking and building something and it is really irritating and too loud. Dad and mom have gone several times requesting them to announce at least a day earlier so they can take me out. I am really disturbed by the noise and can't sleep at all with such hard noise in my ears and the floors reverberating to the noise. Dad had even shouted at them once when it went beyond acceptable level.

Mom is the hero in this story and has all the patience to lull me to sleep and hold me close so I won't get scared. I am grown up now but still am a little child. Mom treats me as if I am born just now. She is all protecting, loving and caring for me and spends all her 24 hours guarding me. All through this noise, mom was there next to me.

You know how playful I am and how naughty I can be. I woke up at 12 am last night and played on till 6 am and dad slept though the whole night :) Mom and me had a girls night out. Oh yes, mom is a night person too and dad is like.. will tell you the next time.

So the drilling is almost done and we should be sleeping soundly from now on. More stories later. Now time to lull mommy to sleep :) Love you mommy.

Orange it is

I am, you can say to an extent in a positive way, infatuated by orange color these days. I am only picking up orange colored toys, dresses, papers, socks, carrots and so on. I love the color and can't get enough of it.

Mom loves orange color too and this is a riot at home of all orange and neon colored things. Dad is observing all this silently with a smile. 

Jingle bells!

We were at church on X'mas day and I wore an awesome new dress Esther peddamma made for me. I was very nice and was singling along with the choir and slept off during the message. Do you like my new dress?

May God bring you cheer, happiness, health and the joy of life and love this day.

I bite. Good night.

I am very energetic and have loads of fun since the last two days. I am starting to demand more from mom and dad. Mom is exhausted, dad is tired from work. Last night I kicked, scratched and bit dad and coerced him to play with me. He was too sleepy and tired but he managed to spend a couple of hours. Mom on the other hand is digging deep into her supply of sleeplessness and is still smiling :) They are scared I will fall down from the cot, so we are all sleeping on the floor with a couple of extra mattresses, which mean I have more play area!

Guess they don't need to exercise any more as I am there to make them run, tire and be on the tenterhooks all day. Okay now I played all night and now is the time to rest and get my beauty sleep.

Today after I bite, and I like it. Now I sleep. Good night.

Wrestling

Wrestling with daddy and he is losing :)

Not that he allows me to win. I put up a real good fight. If I feel I am losing or he is dominating, I get ready to bite him and he loses!

Now back to fighting. You guys go to sleep. Good night.

Yeeeeeeeaaahhh BHISKhannnnn.

That is what happens if you leave the blogger page open on the ipad. See I am a better blogger than my mom and dad. This is my diary entry for today. Hope you like it.

The parenting advice

Mom and dad believe this...

“Every child should have mud pies, grasshoppers, water bugs, tadpoles, frogs, mudturtles, elderberries, wild strawberries, acorns, chestnuts, trees to climb. Brooks to wade,water lilies, woodchucks, bats, bees, butterflies, various animals to pet, hayfields, pine-cones, rocks to roll, sand, snakes, huckleberries and hornets. And any child who has been deprived of these has been deprived of the best part of education.”


— Luther Burban

Daddy...

Dad is busy with work these days. I am afraid he is not able to spend more time with me. I love when he is home. Now mom does put in a lot more effort to compensate. But I miss my playtime with dad and fighting with him. Now that I have learnt how to wave good bye and kiss him and send him off to work, he misses me too.

Looking forward to fighting and playing with you dad.
Hugs, kicks and kisses.

Love.
Your little tigress.

The bump and tears

I fell down today, trying to crawl and that too with a thud!

Mom rushed to pick me up even before I realized that I fell. Then I understood I fell and the pain hit and I started crying. Oops! You know I am a brave girl and I don't at all cry and am always smiling. In fact, I am called smiley baby :) So after a lot of comforting and lovely massaging by mom, I realized that mom and dad also were tearing up! As this is my first fall and bump, we thought we would make it memorable and remember the 17th!

Thank you for your love. The pain is gone and I am fine now. Mom and dad are going to get foam mat for me to fall :) Will post pics soon.

Good nite!

Shadow Show

I love playing with shadows. Mom makes me sit closer to the wall and makes different shapes like birds, animals, vehicles and abstracts. I giggle and love to reach them and when mom accompanies them with songs I am loving it. I make my own shapes too :)

Do you play this game with your parents?

World's best fish curry

Nanamma and tatayya(Granny and granpa) have come to see me after a long time. Did I tell you that I am named after her? She is an amazing cook and she used to send amazing food snacks to mom for me. I was in tummy so all mom eat I yanjayaeeed!

Nanamma makes the world's best fish curry. Hands down. She loves to make it spicy like dad likes it but now tones it down to match my palate. I loved the fish and relished it. We played a lot of games and had loads of fun. I will tell you more details soon.

What is your favorite food item?

Shower time

Mom gives me tub bath and dad Shower. I love shower bath. I love playing with shower of water and I love the sound it makes.If mom gets me in to the tub for bath I look around for dad and if I don't see them take me to the shower, I show the shower :) Mom can't stop laughing. She tells me I am so expressive and I know how to get my things. I love water and mom has taught me not to drink bathwater :)

Just after the bath mom and dad let me play a lot in water. Once I am tired playing with my bath buddies and become drowsy, mom takes me out, dabs me dry and then puts me to sleep. I sleep well after a hot and cold water bath.

What do you like? Bath tub or shower?

Riding the pillow

As you know, I am really busy these days playing with my toys, arranging cubes, circles, triangles and watching rhymes, practicing music. But I have learnt one more trick - Kicking the pillow.

I can pick up a pillow with both my hands and send it flying with my feet. One good shot and viola there it goes! It is fun. Now mom and dad cannot control me with walls of pillows. I can find my way out.

Dad tells me it is good that I am doing that - I mean kicking pillows. And says I will be a good wrestler/fighter and in life I should always look at hitting out at my obstacles and win. Once a fighter, always a fighter. I have to grow, get strong and win. But all that is later. As of now let me kick another pillow.

Stay happy and bright. Keep smiling. Love and peace.

Worshiping with Arlene

I had a wonderful chance to worship the Lord with Sister Arlene Stubbs :) Yes I call her sister because I am told I should consider her once of my inspirations to grow up to. 

Mom and dad love her and the way she handles herself and how she could adjust, learn, lead and serve in a community, culture she does not belong to. 

Proud to be an Indian

Independence day!

I am proud to be born in a free country. I am too little to understand the concept of independence but mom and dad tell me it is an awesome to be able to sleep without fear, to communicate, to learn, to live and to have fun.

To celebrate, mom came up with an awesome dress for me to show off and grandma improvised the design. Here is the super cute dress I got to wear today. The little stain is from the awesome fish I had :)

I wish I could write more but dad has fever. Okay off I go, have to take care of Dad.

Happy Independence day to you all.

100!

Mom and me theme song

Mom has an awesome sense of humor. She can compose funny songs just at a snap. Few months back I was in an irritated mood and she started singing a song with what ever the words came out of her mind.

Now that's my favourite song and we call it our ( Mom and me) theme song. It's so funny with all our future plans and hangouts. There is a short theme song for dad and me also. Dad laughs saying that his song is all about getting chocolates, ice creams, biscuits, juice etc., and Mom's song is all about going here and there, shopping and eating.

Dad recorded this while mom sang this song for me. He likes it too. It's in Telugu. If you can read it, here you go. Dad, please help with translation for all my non telugu readers.

In love with Ellyvan

It's quite sometime that I started watching Jungle Junction on Disney Junior. This is the first cartoon I watched on television and I am in love with it.

(click on picture to enlarge)

Jungle Junction on Disney Junior is aired at 8:30 am and 4:30 pm every day. I watch it regularly.
Dad was flipping through the channels that is when Ellyvan appeared on the screen and it was a love at first sight for all three of us. Dad, Mom and Me.

Mom and Dad allow me to watch it though they are against me watching TV at this age.

Want to know why I love it?

• The colours are pleasing
• The voices are clear and not funny 
• Back ground music or sounds are minimal and are not disturbing
• There is moral in every episode
• Lot more to learn

Though there are many interesting characters in the show Ellyvan the blue elephant is my favourite. He keeps on changing his expressions.

 (click on picture to enlarge)

 Mom and Dad tried their best to find an Ellyvan toy online but it is not availble in India. Can you help me find a store in Bangalore or any Indian online store where I can purchase Ellyvan from?

Not only Jungle Junction but I want to watch more on TV. Dad and Mom are you listening ? Whoa!Whoa! Mom, don't be angry on dad for showing it to me I was just kidding :D :D :D (giggles...giggles).

Love you both. Love Ellyvan more :)
