Bend It Like Vikram

That's me showing off my soccer skills. What do you think? Any takers?

15 almost 16

I'm almost going to be 16 months in a few weeks. I can't wait for that. I had my 15-month check-up a few weeks ago. Doc said I was doing great. I was weighing average on the weight and way above on the height. So, I guess I'm tall. Doc said I was doing great and was up-to-date on all my immunizations that I didn't need to see him until I turned 2... Yes! (While I did my special dance). The nurse was impressed with my progress. Mommy was impressed as well but Mommy did say that if only I wasn't so hyperactive.

Daddy had gotten be beginners crayons and I was more interested in tasting them. I would say the blue sure tasted like blue. So was the red and green. Yummy! After that I never saw the crayons again. Sigh! I need to find another hobby. At least Mommy hasn't taken away my cars and soccer ball. I love my cars. I know I have a bunch of them. Usually I can't find them because I'm really good at hiding them for emergencies. I have to get Mommy or Daddy to help find them. Soccer ball (or baa... as how I say it) is my favorite outside game. I like playing soccer with Daddy. Mommy says I'm getting really good at kicking the ball now.

I've started calling Dadi (Daddy). Mommy is sad I'm not calling her Mommy yet. Mommy! One word at a time ok. I've got to start with the important ones. I can clearly tell Mommy that I need my mum-mum (food). All I have to do is go and point at my snack and someone will give me the food. I do a very selective bye-bye to some people.

Lately I've been to the pool. I think it's the best ever biggest bathtub. So much water, so much fun. Yeah! Leave it to my parents to do something as crazy as letting me float and kick in the pool all by myself with the float of course. I know they are usually standing close by in case of and emergency. I think I must have drunk at least 1/4 of the pool water by now. Hopefully next weekend I'll be able to take some videos.

I'm still learning to say a whole lot more words. I think it's really funny when Mommy repeats the same word again and again.

Batu Caves

So, did everyone hear about my latest hairstyle? I had my head shaved in Batu Caves (Malaysia). Mommy had made a vow for me and I had to sacrifice my hair. I thought it was a really cool idea. I looked like a little monk. Daddy thought it was a cool look for me. Daddy almost wanted to shave his hair off as well.

It took 5 people to shave my hair. Ayya was holding the camera. Aya had me on her lap. Periamma was holding the magazine. Mommy was feeding me water and food. The barber was shaving my head off.

Mommy carried me up all the way to the temple. 272 steps to be exact. I wasn't allowed to climb myself. Thank you Mommy for carrying me all the way up and down. I know it wasn't easy to carry me. Mommy is always complaining that I'm heavy. I just say that I'm well-rounded. I think Mommy needs to eat more food or exercise. To those who were worried about my hair; Mommy said it will grow back.
