 My Peops!!

I have a lot of things to share with y'all!!!! First of all, I am no longer a baby - I'm a tot now! I walk, trot, sing, talk and sleep all night!!

Let me backtrack and take you back a couple of months. In October, Paati, Ammu and I went to the country of my origin - India!! On reaching, I fell a little sick but hey who doesn't? It was new land, new air, new weather and what not...but once I got accustomed to all that, I was one happy camper! Everyone showered their affection and spoiled me with their love!! No, but this time I did not get spoiled and actually became a nice girl :D

I was welcomed with decorations, balloons, candies and a lot of love. Here's one of the pictures from the welcome decor by Vauhini mami and Suresh Mama:



On my 11th month birthday on 9th, both Ammu and I were feeling unwell so our spirits were low. But Thatha, Big Paati, Big Athhai, Deepak Chittappa and Gauri Chitti visited us and surprised me with many gifts. We took a picture of the four generations, my great-grand paati, my Thatha, my Chittappa (Appu was in Hong Kong) and me. See it here. Also, here's a picture of my birthday cake (yummy orange cake):



We went to Bengaluru (Ammu says it had a better name previously), Tirupathi (to give my hair to Ummachi (God) Balaji. We then went to sunny Goa to visit Ammu's side of relatives. I had fun with everyone I visited, but most with my great grandmom - Meechi Paati. She is super cute and beautiful!!!!! My other favorite people are my Minu Chitti, Geeta Mami-Paati, and oh-so-handsome Raja Mama-Thatha! It was very hot there, so I decided to be in my 'birthday' clothes!! Hehehe...We even took a picture of the four of us representing four generations:


Once we were back to Mumbai, I had the funnest vacation time ever (remember I had just got better from my illness!) Ammu and Mama took me to malls, restaurants and parks. We celebrated Diwali together and I loved the sound of cracker - it cracks me up hehehe :-) I woke up early in the morning and celebrated with sweets and savories. See how brave I am! 

                                     


We then headed over to my Malathi Paati's home and spent some great moments with her, Chitra Chitti Paati, Vijay Chittappa Thatha, Vivek Chittappa (he's very sweet!!) along with Deepak Chittappa and Gauri Chitti (Yayyy she just made me a BIG sister!!!!! I will take care of you my little tiny Brother!!) 

                                                                                         


Now is when the most fun started!! We had a host of celebrations in honor of my BIG birthday that was coming up. My kutti (younger) Paati and Thatha visited me all the way from Chennai and we spent a ton of fun time together! We went to this restaurant called 'Village' with Ammu and Appu. Check out the pictures and you will know what I mean when I say we had fun!! I cut an Indian version of cake - moong dal halwa with a gulab jamun on top =)







Then came the 'D' day!! My Indian birthday!! There are a lot of pictures to share, but I will try and update as and when I get them. Here's one of my chinna (younger) Paati and Thatha that came all the way from Delhi just to attend my birthday!! See my favorite Suresh Mama carrying me on his shoulder:




There's even a video that Ammu will put later on my website.

A lot more to update you on, but too little time you know!! I will catch up with you all very soon, till then Ciao!!!

A year old today...

Ammu says:


You looked like a dew drop, you felt like a bloom
You came into our lives and made it a bliss
I am thankful to you my darling, for making me your mom...
for I know not how life would have been, if not for your tender smile.


Your first word was 'Amma' and still is your favorite word 
My heart melts every time you say it!
You bring sunshine into our lives
every morning with that nice wide grin =)


Today as you enter the second year of your life
It is a very happy birthday to you and to me
for you are a year old girl
and I am a year old mom!


Thank you Kuttiyoosh!



At 7 am:
Yayy I am lucky to have Thatha with me on my 1st calendar birthday!!! Hangin' out with Thatha and my pomegranate friends - Bamu Paati they are looking good and missing you a lot!




Lakdi ki kaathi, kaathi pe ghoda, ghode ki dum pe jo mara hathoda, 
Dauda dauda dauda dauda dum utha ke dauda...(giggles)(giggles)

Birthday celebrations started early morning with early birthday gift and wishes from my Surbhi Maasi, Ashay Uncle and little sister (to-be). I love my pink pony and I love you too!!!

Hey peeps,

Sorry I've been missing in action for a while now. I know I know you missed me, but it's been very busy at work for Ammu and with the upcoming trip, we are all tied up with multiple commitments. Here are some pictures and a special video (check out Paati's performance!!) from post-Janmashtami festivities. I will also post pictures I took with my Radhas soon..

Time out

Appu was going to put me in the washer, or at least that is what he told me when I was being naughty. He put me in the laundry hamper...really he did, see here and tell me is this right?


Someone please come rescue me!

Appu come home!

I missed you this morning. Need to clean my teeth, so come soon Pa!!

Chilling out with Appu

He brings a chuckle all the time with his funny jokes and games. I love hanging out with him!!

At the feeding table

Or rather the high chair. I am camera conscious and yet want to smile on my Appu's song and joke. Here is my best attempt at being natural! :)

This one is for you Deepak Chittappu

Exclusively for you! Oh and by the way, here I am barely even half as enthusiastic as I am otherwise when on my jumperoo!! :-)

My first dance

with my first boyfriend - my Appu. I was 4 months old at the time.

So Ammu has finally got around posting my video clips here. Thanks Chitra Aunty for helping out :-) My friend Tarun has many videos that will keep you entertained, so here is an attempt to emulate the good practice of sharing videos :-)

Presenting Prem and little Prem

Well some people say I look like Ammu, so here is a picture to prove those few wrong! I look like my Appu and there is no question about that! Yes, I do resemble my Deepu Chitappa quite a lot too!

Hey btw, check out my new summer outfit in Priyanka Masi's corner. No other way to beat this heat you see ;-)

Tummy time: I love to roll over these days, and do it quite often!





Strolling and staring: I love strolling on Appu. He also lets me supervise his gardening skills. I will post pictures of me and my plants after some time, but take a look at me enjoying the ride!
