Walky-Talky Nishita - First Quarter of My Second Year





Well, blame it on my lazy parents for updating this blog after a long break. But it’s not their fault completely. Mom says I became so much more cute and playful that they would rather spend time indulging in some serious playtime with me:) And this was because of my newly found independence that came when I started taking steps on my own.




I was walking well by 14th month, after which there was no stopping. I was constantly on the move and all my family would wonder - aren't her legs tired?? Will she ever sit?? I would need no cuddling, no pampering, no hugs/kisses. A directionless walking was all that I loved doing. And the walking would turn into running if it was grass or sand under my feet . Look at me in action at Mom/Dad's office party.








Besides walking, there was something else developing fast - speech. I had started uttering single meaningful words. Daddy was excited as this Daddy was the first name/reference I was using the most. 'Mummy' came bit late, but Mom's wait was finally over. Akka (for aunt), nanamma (paternal grandmom), babai (uncle), ammamma (maternal grandmom), thatha (grandfather)...I was able to utter all of these!!



And many more..Paai (for milk), appy (apple), bag, dai (dog), lala (water), aafish (office), kaai (any fruit/veggi piece), babbaa (any nut), ayipoyindi (finised), paata (song), jiaa (I need to pass;) )..the list is just growing!!

My First Birthday!!





Time flies just so fast! My Mom couldn't believe she is mother of a girl who is already turning one:) The journey so far was so interesting, full of fun and learning. The first year of a person is definitely special and the first birthday calls for celebration! My parents decided to throw a party for the occasion.


The preparation for the event started about three weeks ahead of the Birthday. Finalizing the guest list was the first step.Then a weekend Mom, Dad & Babai went shopping for my special birthday dress and a gift. The venue was club house of our apartment and we decided to decorate it ourselves. Things started moving fast in the last week. The caterer got finalized. Mom/Dad composed a sweet invitaion card and sent across to all friends and acquaintances. One day ahead all the required decoration items were bought.


The day finally came. We visited a nearby temple in the morning after which I became busy playing with my new scooter:) (my birthday gift, of course). My babai(s)(paternal uncles), mamas,pinni and all of us gathered at the club house for the decoration. It was a big task and I was actively participating in it - bursting the balloons that were getting inflated:)


Post afternoon nap, Mom gave me a warm bath and aunts did my make-up :) Guests started coming in slowly and I cut the cake at around 8pm. I thoughrouly enjoyed the cake-cutting as I was surrounded by lots of kids singing the birthday song.


While the party continued, I was already tired and hungry. Mom fed me my dinner. I struggled a bit but finally slept and had a sound sleep for the rest of the night!!


It was a lovely evening that my parents will cherish forever! Watch me enjoying in the park :)
