My first fever
Topic: Memories
I have been under the weather for the past couple of days. I had my first fever and I am proud of it. Everybody was worried. I even made my first record hitting a 102degC. But I am not too happy these days. Amma took me to the doctor. Looks like its going to be another week this way. I don't like the doctor. They tricked my amma into giving me a black liquid. Ammama came up with new gadgets. She put the first one into my ear and after a while it went *beep* *beep*. She was not too happy with it. She took another gadget and put it under my arm pit. She was again not happy. The black liquid was fishy as I suspected. It puts me off to sleep immediately after and I can't play anymore. I have to be on guard when I see that doctor again. When I wake up amma, thatha or ammama play with me. Appa was on-call. Appa and amma are often on call. I want a phone. I'll put them on-call and they'll spend more time with me.

My bouncing Horse
Today I met Kirth aunty and Sanjay uncle at City Hall. We went to Khansama at Serangoon road to have my favourite tandoori chicken. I had tandoori chicken and misi roti. I surprised Kirth aunty and Sanjay uncle with my gastronomical wisdom. The raita was not to my liking. I taught Sanjay uncle how to communicate using morse code. You have to go tap-tap tap-tap-tap on the table. We then went to Mustafa. I rode on a bouncing horse and also bounced to a makarena playing chimp. On the way back, I also showed aunty and uncle how I make music from my mouth. I do that by saying aaaaaaaaaaa and drumming my fist on my mouth, it goes aaaa aaaa aaa aaaa...

My first Step
Topic: Memories


I finally am able to walk like the rest. It feels funny walking with my two feet. I tend to always lose my balance and fall..... have to continue

--------------------------

YESSSSSS!!!! I am on my two feet.. I can move real fast.. AND I can knock things down at the same time.. I can now reach out for more objects on the tea table to put into my mouth. I can also climb down sofas, but didn't realise the dining table was that tall. Still can't reach the top.. and I still need to work on my balance.. thanks to the diapers, else my bottom could have hurt a lot more..

Mummy loves dressing me like this. She buys me lots of new clothes and pretty hats and caps. Whenever I dress up like this papa takes alot of photos of me. Papa also taught me how to give a model pose.

I have started learning words. My ammama and thatha teach me new words very day. It is very complicated. I wonder how many words I have to learn when I become a big gal.

I now know how to say "hey" in different pitches. I am now learning how to say "mummy".... it sounds like "hmmmy".

--------------------------

Thats me in my crib with my bed-time lessons. My folks have been teaching me a new language. I have a decent vocabulary now and can say.. ummmm.. aggguu.. ammmmm. Tried to teach my folks my language but they seem to be beyond learning anything new and hence decided to learn their language.. Back to practice.. ummm..maaaa.. aaguuuu..

Thats papa taking me on a horse ride.. Wish he could gallop..

Huggies Diaper
Topic: Memories
Yeah, thats me. And thats my branded huggies diaper. Hope this doesn't come to haunt me later. Appa still has to grasp the fine nuances of photography. That was when I started sitting up. I am all grown up and tall. Only now I realise how much I hated that "in-your-face" view of the world. I had to look up at everything and they were all very up close. Even Winnie the Pooh looked down at me when it sat next to me. I now sit and look down at Winnie when we have a conversation.

My Bath routine
Topic: Memories
Just had my shower. I hate having baths. I always get totally wet. Every evening papa and mummy give me a bath. I have no privacy. They splash water all over me.... The best part of this routine is that I get a nice head massage towards the end when they dry me up with a towel.

I get so exhausted after this workout; I always try to take a short nap after my bath.

Party at Friend place


Thats me - surrounded by a lot of uninteresting people behaving wierd and going coochie coochie coochie... Amma and appa took me to a friend's place. It was my first time and I was dressed in my pretty pink silk dress which amma had bought for my aunt's wedding. There were no interesting people. There were all these BIG people making faces to get my attention and trying to make me smile. They didn't get it from my face that I didn't want to pay any attention. But I like the party. When I have it my way, I'll them what a real party is but till then I hope amma appa take me to more interesting parties with interesting 1 year olds...

India Trip
I made my first trip to India in September last year. Amma bought me a nice dress. I got to wear that dress in Chennai. Ammama arranged a big function for people to come and see my dress. There were a lot of people. I was tired from my flight and slept all day. But I was fresh and alert that evening. Lots of people came to see me. Kirthana and Sanjay also got married that day. I don't know what that means, but they looked happy and were grinning ear to ear. I don't know what the big deal was. They were dressed funnily with flowers around their neck. But my dress was the prettiest. And I also sat on a big chair with amma and appa. But it got boring after a while. I let Kirthana and Sanjay have the chair for the rest of the evening.

Who am I??

Nikita - Thats me

I have started walking around a lot and have done a lot of exploration lately. This is my journal. Come back to my work space for more updates on my standings, fallings, crawlings and bawlings..
