The Biting Baby

Dear Kuttyyan,

Among the 4 children, it seems you are the real biter. 

Thank you for the bruises on my arms.

I am not sure why you bite though....sometimes it seems you bite me just for fun?

Anyway, we'll have this talk when you are older.

Hugs,
Amma

Bukebukebukebukebuke & Ngenungenu

Thambi,

Her name is Stinky Butter- not Ngenungenu * eye roll*

And what is Bukebukebukebukebuke? Everything?

And you're walking!!! So walk....but you don't have to run around everywhere screaming and shouting and saying bukebukebuke! ***stomping and walking away*


**Sigh** but I'll see you later I guess.

Love,
Akka

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!!!!

The Unsteady Climber

So now that you are moving. and standing................, I seem to be unable to rest Aathesh. You keep climbing all over me when I lie on the carpet. When you are NOT climbing, you seem hell bent on breaking your head by falling down on the room parquet.

(While lying down on my side) We need to have a chat, son. Appa is old now, I need to rest. Aathesh...are you listening to me? Aathesh......? (Aathesh is ignoring me and continues trying to stand up unsteadily)

*Sigh* I guess I will just sit up and make sure you don't fall then....

Hugs Anyway,
Appa
