Reacting to Noise

When Thamizhini was small baby, I mean when she was less than six months, she was very much noise sensitive baby.  Even a soft sound will wake her up from sleep and sometimes even if that was loud sound like door slamming with a bang suddenly due to strong wind will not wake her up. But dropping of spoon sound will wake her up. STRANGE.

But look at the video below to know how she reacts for NOISE now. And my brilliant baby knows what to do to avoid that sound.

Birthday Invite

Checking Astrology!

Yeah! Thamizhini started seeing Astrology! Whoever wants to know their future, can approach Thamizhini with their horoscope! Check out the video for more details! 

Hmm... In fact we were very happy to see her patience while looking at the book and when turning the pages. She was able to hold the book properly and she turns the pages as a Pro. And she searches some pages and looks deeply in to the page as she is actually spending time to Read. Book worm!!!

Walk Baby Walk - II

For Walk Baby Walk - I

Until babies start walking, they simply explore the house from wherever they sit or lay. But what will they do once they started walking? They do the same thing, but how do they do is different. Walk, Walk, Walk and they do not get tired. Walk everywhere and see what is availabe there to pull. My God! If we would have measured, I'm sure that she would have walked altest a mile inside the house per day. See, how she explores the house and how she distrubs her granny when is was cooking.

Our baby started walking!!! So what else. I was, hmm... not only me! every one at home were waiting for this moment. Playing games with her! And she understands little bit if we ask her something. Playing with her is really a nice time pass for us and of course she enjoys it as always. Checkout the below video for what game we played with her!

What is next? Let's Dance!

My little darling started walking! So what is next? Yeah! right, she started Dancing too. Wondering!!! These days kids are having much interest in music and dance. Thamizhini was listening to music when she was 3 months old and I could still remember that she was enjoying songs / the soft sounds that were coming out from TV. 

Now as she grown up and able to walk, she started dancing for the songs. That too, song should be nice to hear and dance. If not, she is not giving interest on it. Check out the video to know how she started dancing even when she was not able to stand properly or even walk properly! and the second part shows the latest :-)

Walk Baby Walk - I

Wow! Wow...!! My little one is going to be one year old soon... Just a week to go!!! All the mothers in the world want to see their babies hitting milestones in / on time. And I'm no different. I'm very happy to see her walking, as Thamizhini never showed interest in crawling or even just moving atleast a feet  ahead( such a lazy fellow like Amma)! I have collected this months videos and made a single post to show how she initially tries to walk, how balances herself when putting effort to move one step ahead and finally how she walks with confident.  I could see how she improved, just comparing the first and last one!

This cute pie started putting effort to walk on her own. Just tries to stand up, once that is done, tries  balance her body to stand and oh! could not stand anymore and sits down! But sometimes gets up firmly and move her legs to make a step. Wow.. Its really good experience to see her try and fall back.

The below one captured in Bangalore in my Anna's house on 06-06-2011 and look at her steps! My babies INITIAL steps.

She was not at all sitting in a place, once she knew how to walk, that too shaky walk. Naughty baby! It was like anytime she may fall on the floor! but never scared for it! She gets something in hand to balance herself or just carry something and walk! Most of the time I would think that she would fall down as she was not able to walk on herself  properly but carries something and try to walk. But she proved me that I was wrong most of the time!  Look at the below video how she carries that drum and walks all over the Hall.

Once she is little bit skilled in walking, she started pulling whatever she sees in the house and walks with that! My mom's most of the work these days is to hid things from her eyes. Watch the below video how she takes that long stick and walk!

Fresh as a Daisy

Yes! As the title says!!! I could compare Thamizhini's face with a fresh flower in the garden when she woke up in the morning. Me and Nalin always talk about this and we used to say that we ourself can't see our face in the morning without  washing it as the first duty in the morning; but look at her, how beautiful she looks!!!

Also we all feel lazy when we get up in the morning and it will be more lazy to open up and talk. But look at the video how my cutie talks. She tells whatever she knows. As she says these things from last month, we used to ask now and then and feels happpy when she says it. We thought of capturing all the three things together and finally we got her in camera!!!

Anniversary with Thamizhini

06 -06 -2008 - Me and Nalin got married, so today is our 3rd Anniversary and this year, we have a special reason to celebrate. Last year Thamizhini was in my stomach with almost grown up stage and if I remember (or calculated?) correctly, she was 34th weeks old :-) And now Thamizhini is 11months old baby... Time runs very fast and still i could not remember how 2010 passed.

I'm standing on my own..!!!

Today we are in Bangalore for my brother's house warming function and we celebrated our 3rd anniversary in my Anna's New House. It was a total surprise for me and Nalin as my brother have ordered a cake to cut for us. It was written as "Cake sponsored by Thamizhini". We were so happy for that special cake which my brother planned in his hectic schedule. Thank you so much Anna for the cake and celebration.

Ellam metl aayiduchu!!!

We cut cake with Thamizhini and she is so excited to see the candles and the crowd who were asking Thamizhini to blow it off. Thamizhini helped us to blow off the candles and cut the cake.



Thamizhini helps Appa n Amma to blow off the candles



Cutting the Cake!!!

Her dad fed little piece to this cutie and this little cute pie tasted nicely. 

Finally, cake to taste :-)

My brother's friends were there and as per their request (???) we each other fed cake. Yummy!!! The cake was too tasty and special Thanks to Ranjith for suggesting this flavor of cake to My Brother.

Appa, Amma kai-ye kadichidatheenga!!!

Enaku mattum appa konjama koduthutu, amma ku ivlo periya piece -ah?



Finally, we all set for a Family snap!!!



Visiting Rishmy

It was really an awesome journey for us. I never knew that it would be so easy  to travel to Bangalore by car! We started early morning around 5 O' Clock and we reached Bangalore EC by 10 O' Clock. But Whats special there? We have my Anna's house warming ceremony tomorrow!!!

At Anna's house..

Wow.. And as usual I have lot of plans in between. And one of that is meeting Benazir's Family :-)

Rishmy.......

It was just 4 hrs journey and we took break for breakfast for about an hour. Thamizhini was asleep when we started from house but she woke up when I put her in the Car. She did not sleep for about an hour but later she slept in my hand itself. Once she woke up, sky was very clear and she was so happy to see here and there! She did not really feel boredom to sit in the car itself. We stopped for her to have breakfast by 7:30 but she did not have it and started playing in the car. But when we had breakfast in hotel, she also joined us and tasted Pongal nicely from Saravanabavan.

I'm Happy to see Rishmy akka!!

The plan is to reach Anna's house and stay for sometime. Then take bath and start to Benazir's house in the evening around 3 or 4. So after reaching Anna's Apts, we explored the house and took rest for sometime there itself. After that we marched to the Guest house which he booked for us. And there starts the music!!! Thamizhini does not like to sleep in bed! does not like to take bath! does not like to have food! hmm... she was changing herself as Torture Thamizhini!!! Somehow I made her to take bath and fed food! 

Appa enge kanom! oh! there he is... :D

Meanwhile my friend Bena was giving messages and asking when are you coming! when are you coming! message me once you start! ( I was not knowing why Bena is messaging me these many times until I knew the original reason. Follow the link to know about it -> http://rismiya-farhana.blogspot.com/2011/06/happiest-sunday.html. We took NICE road to reach Bannerhatta road and reached her house in 45mins. and when we reached it was 5 O Clock. :-( And I was thinking myself that I have to leave Bena'shouse at least by 6:30pm.

Akka ku evlo hair and clip kooda azhaga iruke!

Now I 'm remembering myself that how one and half an hour passed! It just went like a second! Rishmy had collected all her toys and kept ready for Thamizhini to play. Thamizhini was so happy to see all toys in one place and started playing with that. 

Rishmy is thinking: Evlo toys koduthalum eh epdi kurumbu panra?

 I could see Rishmy's happiness in her action itself, running here and there and showing all toys to Thamizhini and calling her "Kutii Kutti..." Mind blowing... Rishmy is just 3 years old and she calls Thamizhini as Kutti! What an affectionate word that is. We love you Rishmy darling! While we were driving back to guest house, me and Nalin were talking about Rishmy only.

Mommies on their word!

Rishmy gave a gift to Thamizhini and told her not to open it here :D I was just wondering myself that who is teaching all these to this small kid. We obeyed her order and did not open the gift there. Even Thamizhini liked that golden color wrapper and was very happy to hold it in her hand while coming back to house. And any idea, What was it???

Thanks Akka... and Aunty Pose ok va?

Check out the below video too! We wondered by seeing them how these Two little cuties behave in front of camera and surprised by seeing their pose and they remained same until Bena clicked the above picture.

And What about Bena & Safi! Nalin met them for the first time but it never looked like that! as we always used to talk about them! Super Lady Bena prepared Bread Bonda and Onion Bajji in a minute and that tasted heavenly! Also the Carrot halwa with lots of Cashew nuts! I could feel the taste even now, it is just lingering in my tongue.

Finally set for bye bye...!!!

It was an excellent evening and unforgettable get together! But I missed one thing there! I wanted to meet my another best friend Swapna! I was not able to make it because we had to start as there was some pooja in Anna's house and even Thamzhini was very cranky!  

I'm really expecting to meet all my friends like this! But don't know when!

11th Month

Wow... Wow.... My baby is crawling! The eleventh month is full of crawling only. I'm bit relieved to know that she is able to crawl and finally she achieved this development milestone too! But it was all our mistake to sit near  by and show toys on top of her face. As she started crawling, we showed some of the interesting things to her to boost her crawling.

This is how I pas time at home!!

 Check out the video to know what was that booster!!!  :D

Wondering why am I this much happy??? Everybody at home were thinking that she will not crawl but directly walk. I won't be happy this much when she gets ready to walk! Because I know that she will be able to walk in another one month! These days she likes to stand much than sitting. Most probably on her first birthday she must be walking.

Getting Ready for Evelyn's B'day Party

We had been to my friend's daughter Evelyn's birthday party. We started early but because of the route confusion :-( we reached very late. But had very nice food!!! Thanks Preetha & family for the nice dinner.

I'm started potty training to her and she voluntarily does that in the morning. As she is too small to call us and tell, we make her to sit potty once in 2hrs or depends. But she is very happy to use it.

She likes to imitate us whenever we do something and understands very well if we ask something to her like, come here, give it to me, see there, where is amma, appa, where is Thamizhini's photo, where is amma's painting and so many things. She might forget sometimes but we ask her now and then to remaind her.

I'm sure you have already seen Thamizhini's Mimicry, Dancing, How she reacts if we ask her to "Come Here""Come Here" and of course how she helps me when I give bath to her!!! If not, go and check it out right now.
