Krishna Jayanthi 2012

Hi all...today is Krishna Jayanthi or Janmashtami. This is the day when Lord Krishna was born. Remember like last year my mom wanted me to dress up like Krishna. Last year was easier to dress me up, since I was only 7months and I wouldn't say no to her. But this year she had to put me some Dora episodes and songs...so that I will be distracted and she can dress me up. Nice trick amma! Here are some pics....enjoy!

I am a disco dancer!!

I know parts of the body!

I am a year and a half and I know the parts of my body. Check out the video. The only funny thing about the video is amma and nana took it when I sat on the potty seat. Amma says thats the onlytime and place where I will sit for sometime, provided if someone sits across me!

Summer Fun

Summer started with great fun for us. We moved from Minnesota to Texas. It was hectic for both amma and nana. I did help them a bit. In the meantime, as we settled in...amma got the library card and started getting lots of books from there. They had a summer reading program and amma enrolled my name in it. We had to read 20 books in the whole summer..and you know what me and amma finished that in couple of days even before the summer had started. I got a certificate and a trophy for my reaching my reading target. Yay!!!

Trash boy!

Hi friends...this could be a silly video...but amma, nana, my grand parents and others were really proud of me...that I could listen to amma's words when I was just 13 months and put the trash in the trash bin.

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 ;-)
