Playtime

You were always a very hyperactive baby, right from you were in amma's tummy. Poranda apparam ketkava venum :).

Will try to remember all your favourite playtime.

You were always moving your hands and legs while you were awake. You try to reach the camera in the first few days itself.




As soon as appa comes in he takes you on for playing. You too enjoy that a lot.




Your favourite ones were to sit on appa's shoulder and go around and try to hit the windchime.... So finally one day you had pulled and damanged amma's favourite windchime.

You liked standing on the bed holding the window and jumping on it scaring patti and amma. You really enjoyed it a lot once you were able to stand holding things.

Peek a booo was another favourite one. Almost from 7th or 8th month you started playing that game. You put on amma's dupatta on your face and wait for amma to ask "where is samyu... where is samyu kutty..." and then you take out the dupatta and laugh aloud. Still you like this game. Now that you can walk around, you hide behind the wall and play hide and seek.

You also play all dangerous games. Since you get bored so soon with your toys or any game. It is very hard to make you sit. You keep running around the house all the time and try to open all the cupboards in the kitchen, pull all the wires at home, and try to experiment the electrical socket holes... So thatha has masked all our electrial sockets which are in your reach.

Crawling ...to... Running

Kutty once you were on your tummy, in a few months time you started to crawl. Amma used to guess that God whispers into you ears, during each stage what you are supposed to do.



You can vigorously started your crawling practise during your 7Th month. Then in no time you were an expert and started to move around freely, keeping everyone at home on toes.

Luckily when you tried to crawl for the first time amma was at home to take some snaps....and share that to appa. Appa was so excited to see the pics(but bit upset that he had missed that personally).



During your initial days of crawling you used to tumble down. Twice you got hurt in your lips and you had bleeding too :(.

This really gave you the Independence of moving around wherever you want and experimenting things. Thank God you didn't know to put things into your mouth then. In another 2 to 3 months time you were a proficient crawler :).

You started getting bored of this and wanted to stand up. Slowly you started trying that too, catching hold of the sofa, dining table chair, cot. You also started to put on few steps holding these objects. Wow to our happiness, just before your first birthday you tried to walk a few steps by yourself. Everyone at home were so excited to see that.

We got you a walker, but you never liked that so much, you sit in it and try to only climb out of it and didn't want that to learn walking.... (May be you thought i can walk myself, why do i need this). One day you tried to climb out of the walker by yourself and well out of it, and hurt yourself badly. Amma got so upset then and never wanted to put you into that walker again.



Anyway you have started to walk by yourself holding things and then independently in no time. Even during your initial walking days, you used to tumble down, but that never stopped you from experimenting things. In no time, even before you would walk well, you started to try running and then on all of us have to be alert all the time, expecting you to do some vicious thing.

You have become very naughty once you were able to be independent, running all around the house, climbing the sofa, pushing around the chair, reaching things in the shelves and many more....

Your First Solid Food

Kutty you had your first Solid food Nestle's "Rice Cerelac". We were wondering how you would like it and if you would take it, since when you took water for the first time after 2 months on just the milk, you never liked it, you resisted that so much.



To all our surprise you never fussed and you took that very easily. I think you liked that too. That was the first time you are having something with a spoon.

Amma was so excited to give you the first food :), since amma has never feed any baby in her life until then.

You never fussed on much for any food from then on, like amma, but like your appa you liked sweets so much.

Your chittor patti (Vijaya patti), started sending across the kulzu mavu(porridge powder), which is made of wheat, ragi, and broken channa dhal. That has become your daily breakfast and you used to love that with milk and sugar added to it.



Amma tried to give you a Mango fruit while you were just 9 months old, to my happiness you liked it so much and you started chewing it so well. You were about to finish it of and patti got so tensed that you might get a stomach upset. She wanted me to stop giving you the mang, but you were not ready to let go of the mango from your hand.

You had your first rice with some curd while you were 6 months old. Patti always put that in a mixie and smash the food for you. You always love curd rice. You slowly started taking rice with parupu, ghee, rasam, vegetables such as carrot, beans, beet root. We tried the mutton soup while you were almost 11 months old and you liked that. You were very much allergic to Egg and any food made of egg. Your eyes generally gets puffy when you take eggs....

Now you take idly, chappati, poori, potato. You take your chappati/poori with honey. You started demanding food from amma and appa when we eat. You just keep running around during our dinner and come back for a pieces of food.
