Aathesh's First Holiday!

Dear Aathesh,

This is Port Dickson, we come here every school holidays.

Did you enjoy the ostrich park? I am scared of ostriches.....they so big. So I stand next to Appa.

This is where we stay, and we always use the swimming pool. And YOU Swam today! You were like a motorboat, and so brave and strong and not feeling cold and Annai and I were like, WOW, i mean WOWOOW!!!!

The big space of water you saw is called the sea....although Amma and Appa call it the Straits......maybe because the water is all straight and all. If you are still wondering, maybe we can consult Annai later. Annai knows a lot of stuff. Because he is bigger and the biggest of us all. Not Bagyam, she's just noisy.

The loud place we entered just now ( in where you really slept through in spite of the drums trashing) is called a pub, spelled P.U.B. We are not supposed to go there by ourselves.

So you see, if you need any answers, you can ask Chinnanai. I can tell you many things because I am bigger than you.

And did I mention you are soooooooooooooo cutie pie? Aathes enge? Hehehehe. See here a shot of just the two of us......

Hugs,
Chinnanai@ Esvarhen@Esha

I know you! Clap Clap Clap!

Yes, I know you Amma.

And no I don't want to go to anyone else.

Hmmm.....maybe Appa and Annai can, Syamsiah also can.....

No....not that man with the mischievous smile.

Yes Amma, I can clap....clap clap clap ....I clap when I see you Amma.

Hmm.....now this old lady, she looks vaguely familiar....and doesn't seem like a threat...so she can continue to carry me...here let me see your face!

Food Feeding Aathesh

Dear Kuttyyan,

We fed you sweet rice today at the temple. As always, we werent able to take a photo of this ceremony in particular because it is always in the temple.

Like all your siblings, you bit right into your father's fingers and licked up all the pukkai satham. 

Here's to all the yummy foods you can now eat. 


Nasiki Pisiki,
Amma

Fans, Vacuum Cleaners and Nandus

Oh boy.

Amma is doing the "Nandu Varuthu" again. I know its gonna be ticklish...oooooooohhhh

..........and the fan, it's so hypnotising, don't you think?

And then the vacuum cleaner. They only stop when I start crying out of fright!!

Clever Boy.....akka sayang enngeda?

.............................Anyway, Stinky Butter and I are having a party so please come for it. See you there.


Hugs,
Akka

Saying Amma

Hello Kuttyan,

If you aren't a genius I don't know what to call you.

You are just 3 months old and I swear you are saying "Amma" when you cry and "Vendham"( though it kinda sounds like "Venna"

And you cough to get my attention enough to carry you.

Well, well, well........

An Ironman is in Da Houz!

Dear Aathesh,

You've been known as the Ironman since we found out you were a boy! Bagyashri wanted you to be a Rapunzel, but we guess Ironman you were meant to be=).

You were born 3.01kg at 50cm, on the 24th of May at 9.48am.

Amma wanted you to be born a little later, since Amma REALLY wanted to attend your Cinnama's wedding. But I guess you made her decide then and there was it you or Cinnama, and you won (*Appa chuckling now)

But on day 19 of life, you were admited into the ICU and you gave Amma and Appa and the entire extended family a fright.

But Ironman you are, and you made it home on time for your 30th day prayers which we gratefully conducted today.

Everyone says you will be extraordinarily intelligent and strong after battling such a fierce fight so early in your life. I guess we will just have to wait and see how mischievous those antics are going to be.

You are a huge blessing, son, and whatever said, you are truly God's child.

Welcome to the brood, Kuttiyan.

Big kisses,
Appa
