 Dear Tinnavan,

It gives me so much pride to hold you and write your first words together.

Here's to a lifetime of success and achievements!

Hugs,

Mudi Erakam!

Aathesh head shaving ceremony! Aathesh shaves baby hair only at 13 months!

1. Thank you, Appa.

2. What's happening, Appa?

3. Who's this uncle, Appa?

4. Appa, I think I need a mirror!

5. OMG, Appa, they shaved my hair! And now this Ammama is carrying me!!!!!!!

Shake Shake - Did you know the kolukattai doesn't make a sound?

Today was my kolukattai ceremony.

Actually my first tooth appeared on 25th Dec last year, but I guess Appa's birthday is as good a day as any to celebrate my teeth being strong. I was in a lot of paint in Dec, and it was the juncture when I stoped drinking milk from the bottle until further notice ( the notice is still ongoing)

They threw the kolukattai over my head.
 * I picked it up, shook it, realized it doesn't make a sound and then I guess I ate it*

Patti and Ammama throw the kolukattai over my head.Like they literally plonked it on my head!

This small piece is a kolukattai?

Out of focus ** Yeah the patterns on this cloth are really something else......

Amma forcing me to focus and pick the kolukattai. 

Nope..... I don't want it. 

See Appa, I got a kolukattai!

What is this? It doesn't make any sound! What toy is this kolukattai?

Okay, fine, I'll take a bite.  Okay, yeah, it's yummy!

And everyone CHEERS for the baby!!!!
