a "cold" week

I didn't enjoy this week at all. It was cold, outside and inside. Bad bad cold! So uncomfortable, Amma had to put a something into my nose and suck it out. I felt so much better after that.

Ettachhan, Ettamma and Ettans came here. Ettan had a blast, I heard. He was making a lot of noise. They were all having pizza without including me in the fun. I could only drool. waaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Right now, I think I should just satisfy my hunger with "mashes". But, one day, I will have teeth just like all of you. I will be eating everything (well, edible........)

Weeks of Firsts

Lots of firsts this week!

First big snowfall of the year :

Wow! That’s something. First time since 1991! Everyone was talking about it. I couldn’t sleep. It was a cold day and also exciting.

First trip to THE Mall of America :

Ettan & Amma going around merrily (Ettan sat on an orange horse. He wanted to)

Ettan and Achhan go round ‘n’ round on the bus (I could hear Ettan laughing all the way, while Amma was getting worried if Ettan will get scared)

Where was I when Ettan and Amma and Achhan were having fun on the rides?

I had my own ride in my li’l stroller. Muthassi is fun. She knows how to entertain me. Well, I was sleeping most of the time. But……………….

First set of vaccinations (ouch! Waaaaaaaaaaaa……………..):

I got 4. The first one was ok. The nurse gave it in my mouth. Something called Rotavirus. The name is scary, but I liked it. But, then came the cruel part. She poked me with needles. 3 times! I got so scared that Amma had to carry me the whole day and night (I was crying, of course……..)

First set of official photographs:

It was kind of like this, but with my eyes and mouth closed. I was sleeping through it all. The pictures are for my passport. Going to India next year for the first time! Excited? I don’t know. Should I be?

busy weekend

Saturday was supposed to be passport day. But, it got postponed to upcoming Friday. Achhan will be taking a vacation from work that day. One whole day with Achhan and Amma? Yay! I am excited!

We spent the Sunday with Ichamma and Aniyaphan. Well, I was sleeping most of the time (Amma says she is sleep deprived because I don't let her sleep. But, I get all her attention at night. Ettan will also be asleep at that time) Shhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was aware of all the fun they were having. They were talking about Amma’s beef fry and Muthassi’s mushroom curry. Yum yum! It’s a long wait before I can have any of those.

proof of my birth

Like my outfit? It's very cosy (and it's not pink!!!!) I could sleep in it. No worries!

I wore it to the clinic. Amma had a doctor's appt. I hope everything is okay with her.

Another day, It seemed like Amma was in a hurry. for what? Well, Amma just told me that I should be a good girl until she comes back and not give my muthassi (granny) any trouble. Ok, let's wait & watch.

Wanna know what she came back with? My birth certificate! Wow, so quick! Amma is happy. So, I'm happy.

I love my ettan. He is slowly understanding my presence in the family. I want to run around the house making noise, but I guess I'll have to wait. Till then, let's just watch and learn.

My outings

Minnehaha falls (I'm hiding behind my grandma).

I am so sleepy that I didn't want to be in the spotlight.

Halloween at cousins'

My ettans (cousins and big bro) were so tired that day with all the trick-o-treating. They were so lucky to get all those candies. I wish I was with them! I hope I get to go next year.

Thanksgiving at Aphans'

I had so much fun. Everyone except us kids were playing cards and making so much noise. I was so excited that I couldn't sleep even a wee bit. Finally, I had to wail and turn everyone's attention towards me.

I have so much to look forward to. So many places to see, so many new people to meet. Wow, I am waiting!

1st to 7th week

Ready to go home from the hospital

I wanted to go home so much. So, we stayed at the hospital for 2 days and came home on the 14th of October.

Visitors, visitors and more..............

Every week is something new for me. Someone new, someplace new. It is eventful.

Ettan & me

I don't know what my ettan (big bro) feels about me yet. Sometimes he feels uncomfortable having me around with me being the attention-grabber. At other times, he wants me on his lap, and gives me hugs 'n' kisses.

Muthashan, Muthassyamma, Nana muthashan and Vaava muthassi

Do I need to say more? They are the best that can happen to anyone. I am so lucky to have them.

Big day!

I was supposed to arrive on the 20th of October. I couldn't wait that long. I couldn't let my Amma suffer any longer.

So, here I am. Born on the 12th of October in the afternoon. The day when my muthashan (grandpa) and muthashi (grandma) arrived from India.
