I am 8th months old

Hello Everyone,

I am back with my new interesting story. My this month's achievements... Its a whole lot. We moved to a new house in Sunnyvale. Its a big house with big play area. I crawl all over the house. I can stand up by my self holding sofa, boxes or any support. I figured out how to seat down once I am standing by myself.

Now, I am a big boy in terms of eating too. I drink my milk with sippy cup. I eat my dinner with everyone. I now seat in my high chair that Ba gave me when she was here with us. I sat in the high chair the first time on Feb 16 2009. Hey, you know I can also eat by myself. I eat cherrios, carrots,peas. First time I ate in a sweet tomatoes restaurant sitting in high chair was on Feb 21 2009. I also eat regular food like Daal, rice, maag, all types of vegetables, yogurt, ice cream, candies. My dad feeds me everything from his plate. Oh and if u make me wait on my high chair god help you because I yell and scream loudly.

I play with my hands too. I can wave figures like saying "aaw aaw". I also figure out when someone is going out based on them wearing jacket or shoes. Once I figure that out I plead to go to them. I am talking a lot more these days as well. I make also sorts of noises, but my favorite is 'ta da ta da' (you know that letter between t and d in the alphabet :)). I am also staying awake a lot more during the day.

Oh and I almost forgot. One of my teeth in the bottom gums is showing up slowly. You can also feel on next to it, but that one is still a little shy.

Finally, we don't have too many pics from this week yet, so mom and dad are uploading bunch of pics from previous months that were mia until now.

Addendum to 7 months old

Hi all,

I am back to add to what we said about 7 months. So why am I back. Its to add to what I said earlier about me. Let's go in opposite direction. So, toys first. I love to type on the computer now. That is my new hobby. Here is what I would like to type today...

kkk 0 OLO


Can you decode my language?. I love to play with papers too. I twist and turn them all over the place and like the noise that makes. I also try to eat the paper occasionally.
I drink water and sometimes milk with sippy cup. I also play with my milk bottle and drink milk by myself with bottle.
Now, to sleep part. I go to sleep when mommy dance with holding me in hands. Now, I am also learning to sleep by myself in lap. When I wake up, my first task is to give smile and roll over in the bed.
I like to go out. When I see somebody going out of house, (specially pappa in the morning), I want to go with him. I try to convey my message by saying eeee and showing my hands towards door and looking at the door. I also differentiate between known people and unknown people. I refuse to go with unknown face, even though that person gives me any interesting toy or tries to make me happy.
More notes later. Time to take splish, splash bath.
Will catch you soon.

I am 7 months old

Hi Everyone,

I am 7 months old now and I can do a ton of things. In addition to my super smile which I give out all day from early in the morning when I wake up all the way to at night before I fall asleep (and sometime even when I am asleep and anyone calls my name :)), I am also dragging myself. I frequently get upto my knees and elbows and rock myself. Sometimes I even get on to my palms so I can be higher. I still haven't figured out how to crawl, but I can drag myself anywhere really fast. My mom says I should be crawling in a week or so.

I can also talk a lot. I coo, yell, scream, sing, and even say 'ma', 'ba', 'da', and 'pa' occasionally. My gums are itching a lot, so I try to pick up everything and bite on it to make myself feel better. The itchiness is never ending, someone give me version 2 of the teeth. Version 1 is way to annoying to the users.

Before we go on to my favorite topic of food and toys, let me first also tell you some news. I have moved to the bay area along with my family and we are looking for houses. Soon, we should have a home and I will be able to run around all over the place. For now I am playing with mommy, ba, dada, kaki, ane Anaybhai during the days and spending time with kaka and my dad in evenings. I even took a bath once with my dada. I had a blast and so did he :). I love bathing. I splish splash water and I also laugh a lot when I take a bath.

Ok onto food. I am eating everything. I eat three meals in a deal on of rice, one veggie, and one fruit. I have tried carrots, green beans, sweet potato, dudhi, and peas in veggies. In fruits I have tried apple, banana, and pears. When everyone in my family sits down to eat, I am also eating cherrios cereal. I always ask for my share by going 'aghaghagh' until I get something. I have had a lot of yogurt, some ice cream, some cake, some rice, khichadi, even dal bhaat and bhel yummy. My dad is the one who spoils me with all the food and he gets yelled at for that all the time. Mommy gives me some stuff too, but when she feels like she wants to try something new she encourages my dad to give me food.

Aha now we are onto toys. I love all high tech toys. Tv remotes and cell phones have a special place in my heart (read mouth :)). Wires are so fun that I reach out to them from where ever I am. I used to play piano fairly regularly as well. Corners and polls are also interesting to me. So is anything new including diapers (wet or dry I don't discriminate). In our apartment I run from one end of the leaving room to another all day. Ba and mommy have to run after me all the time. Oops, I am up and ready to face new day, daddy better stop typing and come over. Ok folks bye for now misa need attention, so bye for now. See you in very near future...Oh and no pics yet as we try to get all over stuff moved, but will have some soon.

My first Christmas

Hi Everyone,

I am back quickly to tell u all about my first christmas. It was a lot of fun. I have received plenty of gifts from friends and family alike and I thank them all. Me and Anay both got up early and opened up our presents quickly. We got several presents and pictures from the opening ceremony are still in the camera, but they will make there way here soon.

I spent rest of the day doing my usual stuff, sleeping, eating, playing with my toys, rolling, scooting, and the other stuff :). In the evening, my mommy's friend Aarthi and her husband Sriram came by to visit us. We all had food and I had fun smiling and shying with them.

Anyway, that is a short summary of my first christmas. Wish you all a merry christmas, happy new year, and a very happy and healthy holidays.

My sweet 6th Month

Hello Everyone,

After a long time.. hmm... I know, I have been very busy playing these days, so didn't get a chance to update my post. Anyway.. story about my 6th month. This month was full of fun, lot of stuff to learn and enjoy, eat different different food. Yummy Yummy. I eat banana, pears, carrots, formula, rice cereal, apple, little bit of chocolate and ice cream and even some spinach. I also love nibbling on the cookies.

I have also been playing a lot with my brother Anay. Its been a lot of fun. He is still small, but we look at each other and I like to pull out his gloves and socks :). I also wake him up so we can play :).

Now, I can rotate whole circle on my tummy. My main toys are my hands and legs. I put my leg toe into my mouth, You know I am so much flexible. I can hold even a small thing now. I keep talking all day. Mainly, AA, UUU etc. My best play time is taking a bath. I splash water and play with my water toys. Dad sings a song for me splish, splah, I was taking a bath. I have been eating different things.

I have also been traveling. I made two trips with my parents out to Mountain View/ Sunnyvale/Redwood City area. You see we are looking to move there, so I am helping scout out rental and buying properties. I have visited at least 20 properties and have stayed in three different hotels. Oh and had long stays in car seat.

I started scooting on my stomach in addition to circling. I have been scooting backwards for about a week, but I started scooting forward yesterday. Finally out to pictures. Here is part 1 of the pictures.
