Head tonsuring and Ear Piercing

This was our main reason that we came to India...to clean shave my hair and pierce my ear. Nanamma and thatha arranged a big ceremony for this, since I was their first grandson. It was great for others...but so great for me. Amma says that I wasn't that bad during the whole ceremony. I cried at first but then was ok. Everyone appreciated me that I was a good boy.

Pulling up to stand

This is very fast!! After I crawled the last week, now I am eager to pull up myself to stand and even walk..holding onto something. This is the reason amma loves to go to India, because I am so active with so many people around me and encouraging me.

Finally...I am crawling

Yay...I am in India and I am 9 months and finally I started to crawl. Nanamma was trying very hard to make me crawl but looks like I decided to crawl in India. That too on my 1st trip to India. Amma says that she dint have to try so hard to make me crawl.

Krishna Jayanthi 2011

Today is Krishna Jayanthi (Janmashtami)...the birthday of Lord Krishna. Amma dressed me up as Krishna. She had planned for this long time ago...she got all the costumes from India to dress me up.

Anna Prasanam...First Rice Feeding

I am in my seventh month now...and amma and nanamma decided to feed me rice with dhal. So we all went to temple to do this. First nana gave me a sweet rice..it was so yummy. This was better than the cereal (which I thought was great) and milk of course. Then thatha and nanamma gave me rice with dhal as well. It was yummy. I even asked for more ;-)

I am mobile!!!

After nanamma found that I am too lazy to even roll over on my own..she decided to buy me a walker. With this I am so mobile that I can go anywhere I want without me taking much effort.

Sixth Month

Sixth month was really special to me. You know why...My nanamma and thatha visited me for the first time. I am having a great time with them. Nanamma taught me so many tamil and telugu songs..she also was trying hard to make me roll over by myself, but since I am lazy that was not happening at all.

My first Loud Laugh

Fifth month and ammamma leaving :-((

There was both exciting and sad thing happening this month. The exciting part is that apart from drinking milk I get to eat something else as well. Amma and ammamma started to give me cereal once a day. This was so nice apart from drinking milk. You can see how I enjoyed eating from my ammamma.
Now coming to the sad part...my ammamma left to India. I was a bit sad, but at the same time happy that Bhaghi akka can spend time with ammamma now. Also, you know that my ammamma kept a name for me called 'Skanda Boy'. After that everyone started calling me like that. Love you ammamma!!

Amma's Graduation!

Today is a big day for amma...its her graduation today. And today I wore my first jeans. Amma said I really looked handsome! You all let me know your thoughts as well.
