Naming and Cradle Ceremony

Now I am around a week old. Though everyone started calling me by name 'Skanda Gopal' from day 1, amma and nana wanted to have a religious function to name me and put me in the cradle (swing) for the first time. Again all our friends came to share the joy. You can see in the video how my dad writes my name on the plate of rice, whispers my name in my ears and also gives a little bit of honey in my mouth (ssshhh....don't tell my pediatrician and my atha (aunt) about honey...doctors don't like it here). Also, I got lots of gifts from my grand parents, aunts, friends. And finally they put me in the cradle and I slept so well because of the rocking motion.
