Family Portraits

Mommy is kind of into taking family pictures lately. I know it's only been a few months ago since we took one for my birthday. Mommy thinks I'm growing up to fast so Mommy needs to capture every moment (more like every step I take). The camera I think is a part of me now. The extension of me.

I'm not officially 18-months and counting. Feels really good to treated like an adult. I can now call Mommy; maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. I think Mommy is ok with it for now. Mommy feels that as long as I've got at least half a word or somewhat of a word it's good enough. All my soft toys are called "monkey". Nose is moooooku (in Tamil). Please note that I like to stress on my vowel. I think it's important. Cars are cars. They are my most favorite toy in the world. Nothing else makes me happy. Any cars or books on car are good with me.

Saying hello and bye is fun. I think everyone just like seeing me say hello and bye. Why would they ever do that? It's not that funny. Pretty girls are pretty. Nice to drool over. Ask Daddy, Daddy has a lot of stories to tell. Mommy trying really hard to teach me the potty stuff. I think I'm not ready yet. Maybe in a few weeks. I like combing my hair. Brushing my teeth is a fun thing every morning. So many things to learn. Hopefully I can learn them all soon enough.

Sherwani suit with a really cool looking stool.

I had to hold Mommy and Daddy's hand. Just in case I decided to take off somewhere else.

I like this picture of Mommy and Daddy. Daddy actually smiled.


Happy family. Happy family. Happy family ;)

All Hallows Eve

Hehehe.. That's another way of saying Halloween. I did dress up as a Bollywood Star. The scars on my nose are because of a fight I got into with another boy over this girl. That's the story :).

I'm all set and ready to eat all the candy and chocolates I'm going to get here in a bit ;).

Load 'em up Grandma. I can't wait to munch on those.

Mommy and me on the stage looking really cool.

As usual Mommy is trying to tell Daddy something.

I had to do my cool walk down the stage.

I thank all my supporters and fan who have ever been so loyal with me all this while.

Wait Mommy! These photographers are busy taking pictures of me.

Words of wisdom from Mommy. Top secret issues.

Running away from Daddy and my responsibilities. I think that scarecrow was going to get me.

Happy voting everyone! Make sure you've casted your votes. Mommy says I'm too young to vote. Maybe in another 17 years I should be able to cast my vote.

Happy Diwali & Halloween

Happy Diwali everyone! It's time for new clothes and Mommy's cooking. I know Mommy makes the yummiest Indian food. I can't wait to eat all that food. Mommy bought me a bunch new clothes in Malaysia when we were there.

Halloween is this Friday. I get to dress up as a Bollywood Star. Mommy thought this would be a great idea as I have too many Indian costumes. I might as well wear them before I outgrow them, right? I think Mommy and Daddy as going to dress up as Bollywood stars as well :) This will be fun. The whole family going out for trick-or-treating.

Social Skills

I've been busy sharpening my flirting skills. Mommy and Daddy took me to a social event last weekend. I wasn't busy eating but I was busy flirting with the girls around there. I found a few which were nice to me ;) Daddy took the videos. Daddy took a bunch of short ones. I told Daddy next time to take them in one go.... Easier for me to upload when I post something.

Octoginta

Anyone is made to get up at 5am on a Sunday morning should be banned. I'm talking about Mommy and Daddy. They made me get up so early just so Daddy can go for his bike ride in Lawrence. I think I must have to the only crazy parents who make me do these insane things.

Never mind it's like 5.30am. At least I get to eat by breakfast and watch my cartoons.

It was a pretty good cartoon. The bagel was good too.

Mommy! I think I spotted something I'd like to explore!

Now all I have to do is wiggle my way out from Daniel.

Cool dude! That's my new look ;)

The 'people' who were riding their bikes that morning.

Why would anyone ever subject themselves to such things so early in the morning??

I tried to get out of this one as well. Mommy got smart and strapped me in this time.

Everyone is looking really enthusiastic for the ride to start.

Pretty flowers! Maybe I should get closer??

I'm getting closer and closer and Mommy's not realizing it yet.

Mommy caught me! I guess I won't be able to pick those pretty flowers.

Flint Hills

Pro-cras-ti-na-ting. That's the new word Mommy has been saying lately. I'm sorry I've not been able to update my blog a little more regularly. I think it has to do with that word pro-cras-ti-na-ting. It's starting to get colder so Mommy and sometimes Grandma have been busy helping me out with getting me all geared up for the cold weather. That means I'm usually dragged into shopping with the both of them. Mommy and Grandma usually make me try winter outfits. Most of the time, I'll try running away between the rack of clothes. Mommy is still looking for the perfect winter gear for me so I think there will be more shopping for me. I've already bought my winter boots. Looks just like Mommy's one but it's for boys.

Last month, we took a trip to Flint Hills. It was Kansas Prairie Grassland I think. It was good. I think I saw too much of flat land :) Aunt Uma, we did think of you a lot when we were there. Mommy said she'll take you next time you're here. Here are some pictures of the trip.

Please don't hesitate to sit wherever you like. That's what I do when I'm usually tired.

As Periamma would say, "It's that frenchie frog".

I like to stay hydrated. Drinking a lot of water.

One for the album. Family Picture.

This is a standard Mommy and Daddy picture. Don't ask me why.

And this is how tall I am right now.

42,804,450

So, you might ask what this number is all about? In the millions and all? Hmm.. Let me explain. I just thought it might be cool to find out how old I am in days, minutes and seconds.. Here the compiled list.

As of 9/8/2008 10:07:30 AM EDT
You are 1 years old.
You are 16 months old.
You are 71 weeks old.
You are 495 days old.
You are 11,890 hours old.
You are 713,407 minutes old.
You are 42,804,450 seconds old.

That makes me feel ancient. I also found out that I share my birthday with David Beckham. Now I know it's fate. I'm meant to play soccer. That also explains my soccer skills (I paid Mommy a bunch hugs and kisses to let me write that).

Summer's almost over

Can you believe it that summer is almost over? Cold weather is already here. I can tell that Mommy's not liking it at all. Now, Mommy has to pull out all the heavy jackets and sweaters for me to wear. We spent the last weekend at the local community pool. They had this really cool man-made beach. It was a lot of fun.

With the cold weather coming, I don't I'll be able to spend much time outside playing. I'll just have to settle playing indoors I guess. Hopefully Daddy buys me more toys. I like the ones which makes a lot of noise.

I think my vocabulary has improved tremendously. I can very clearly now ask Mommy or Daddy "do that?" which to they usually say no but I go ahead and do it anyway. I'm just being polite. I also say "bye tee ya" (bye, see ya) to every passing person, car or anything moving away from me. Daddy thinks it funny when I do that. Don't tell Mommy but I almost understand everything Mommy asks me to do. I just refused to follow orders! I'm a rebel in the making.

Daddy's birthday is coming. We already got Daddy his birthday present. Well! Mommy just had to give it to Daddy early because it was an emergency situation. Daddy broke his old one. We bought Daddy a really nice BPA-free water bottle. As I was behaving really good, Mommy bought me a miniature one. Now Daddy and I have the same water bottle. Mommy did also mention that Daddy shares the same birthday day with Aya and Ayya's wedding anniversary. How cool is that? Hehehe... That means I've got less days to remember.
