Pucchu's Update

• My pucchu's nails are growing faster than mine. Every Friday I cut his nails.
• He has started scratching his head.
• When he wakes up in the afternoon, he is so happy and naughty. We both play for hours, he just keeps laughing continously. When he laughs loud, I love to see his mouth without teeth..hahahah. He might get a dimple when he grows (I think).
• He enjoys his morning and evening outings in his pram.
• He sucks his fist quite often. Infact he has started sucking and biting everything that reaches his mouth.
• He says following words: Ahku, Huggo, Huggi, Aayi, Baaaaa, hangyaa, didi, Boboo, Yaayi, Akii, Hana, Hahaha.
• Sometimes he sucks his lower lip just like his father (when he was a kid)
• His eyelashes are growing long n nice (Just like Chetan's).
• Sometimes he talks with his lips lock.
• His nautanki crying expression are to die for. He does that with Chetan and it looks as if he is complaning about me.
• He enjoys talking to Lakshmi when she massages him or when she wipes him after bath.

I am loving each and every moment of spending time with my Kido. Will miss him terribly once I start working. I love him so much and I thank god every day for such a wonderful baby.

All Are Invited

Sunday is a fun day!

Sunday is a fun day and we all went to Cafe Coffee Day!

Early morning Chetan took us to Bandstand. First we had Coffee at Cafe Coffee Day and then hung around at Bandstand. As usual, we started clicking the pictures, we are mad people. Of course! We are mad, but we love to do it for our son, so that when he grows up he can see himself growing each day and read about his harkatein. Technology is awesome but its dangerous too, thats what I believe. Have you heard about Google Latitude - It is a new feature for Google Maps on your mobile device. It’s also an iGoogle gadget on your computer. Once you’ve opted in to Latitude, you can see the approximate location of your loved ones or the hated ones. How cool is that!

U guys distract me a lot! So where were we! Arey at Bandstand. Atharv loved every moment of CCD, since hot chicks were giving him lot of attention. Oh La La Fun Club han? He loved the sea, nice wind and mamma papa around.

So basically we had fun. Also visited Linking road, Hill road and Reclaimation. Morning was good. Came back home in the noon. We also took Harsha. Harsha is a new babe, we have hired for help. She is nice.

Vaccination

Father and son having good time

Today morning, Atharv got his another dose of vaccination. Dr. Kamath gave him DTP & Hib III vaccination in his left thigh. As usual, Atharv just cried for a minute or two and then he was quite. My pucchu baby. Today, I was well prepared and decided not to cry. First time (on 27/12/08) when Dr. injected Atharv with Hep II, DTPa, Hib I, OPV/IPV vaccinations, he cried for three minutes and I cried for ten. I still remember how scared he was when we came back home that night. I count this vaccination first because BCG, Rotavirus Vac I, Hep I and OPV is given on the second day when the baby is born. At that time, since I had a c-section done, a lady named Jyoti from Sehgal Nursing Home got it done for my little wonder. Now another vaccination called Penumococcal Vac I is due on 21/3/2009.

Dr. said, Atharv is a very happy and healthy kid. Every month he is putting on 1kg. Atharv now weighs 6.1kgs.Wowie!

Doctor also briefed us about weaning. Atharv will start his semi-solid food from 1st March 2009. We are planning for a very small 'Anna Prashan' ceremony at our place. All the folks who are reading this blog are invited to see how Atharv takes his first morsel on that day.OH MY GOD! I am so very exciteddddd. I feel like doing Aba-daba-doooooo (like Frank Flinstone.hehe). Big Muuuahhh to my baby.

Good Morning!

Sleep Baby Sleep

Sleep, baby, sleep

Your father tends the sheep

Your mother shakes the dreamland tree

And from it fall sweet dreams for the baby

Sleep, baby, sleep

I enjoy playing with Atharv a lot. He loves to hear me talk, laugh, smile etc. He keeps laughing all the time. We both play with each others for hours n hours. I love my kid. Muuuuaaahhhh!

Happy 3rd Anniversary

Superman

Grab! Grab! Grab!

Atharv is now able to reach out and grab objects, even though he often misses his mark on the first try. Once he wraps his hands around something, he studies it for a moment and then tries to put it in his mouth. He keeps staring at his hands for all the time. He tries to put the bouncer’s toy in his mouth. when he realizes that the toy is short he tries to raise his head.

He tries to take my fingers in his mouth. He does the same with his clothes, sheet, toys almost everything.

Atharv's sister Tara

लकड़ी की काठी, काठी का घोड़ा
घोडे की दुमपर जो मारा हथोडा
dauda dauda ghoda dauda
दुम उठाकर dauda.


Ab Tara asman mein hi nahi, woh hamare ghar mein bhi hai. Yupppieeeeeeeee.

Check Out My Buddy

I am tall, you are short. I dance, you play ball,
It doesn't matter because we are friends.
I like day, you like night. I am fair, you are red,
It doesn't matter because we are friends.

Baby's Day Out

Today Atharv had a long day out. First we went to Oberoi mall and bought him his pram. Atharv got scared when we put him into it, so the pram is still awating an inauguration.

Then we took him to Bandra Reclaimation. Atharv saw the sea for the first time. It was very windy, so we didnt wait for long. We clicked some pictures at the reclaimation. We then went to Bandstand, we showed Atharv, Shah Rukh Khan & Salman Khan's house.HEHEHEHEH.

Atharv is such a darling, he didnt cry at all. He was very happy hanging around with his Mamma-Papa.

Atharv's first Valentine's Day

It was a surprise for the baby and mommy. Early morning we received a delicious Valentine's cake from French Connection, of course ordered by chetan for us without our knowledge. On Atharv's behalf we ate the entire cake. Slurpppp! It was yummmmmmmyyyyy.

Atharv completes 3 months. Aba-daba-doooo

Today my son, Atharv completed three months. What a feeling! I really thank god for giving me such a cutie pie. He is such a happy and laughing kid. No wonder his grandpa has named him "Happy". I am blessed to have a such baby.

He has already started talking. He talks to the babies which I have put on the wall. He chats with things which are bright in colour. He loves to chat with anybody and everybody. He is comfortable with everybody. He loves red, just like me. He gargles with milk when I feed him. He kicks me with his little leg when I refuse to feed him. Nothing can beat the pleasure when he looks at me and smiles.

He loves to watch the ceiling fan. He loves his neck strengthing and other exercises which I make him do, especially 'the wheels of the bus goes round n round'. He loves to kick his mosquito net.

We all congratulate Atharv on completion of three months. LOVE YOU SO MUCH..MUAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Atharv turns 2 months old - 10 Jan 2009

U are more perfect than we could have hoped.
More handsome than we could have dreamt of,
more precious than we could have imagined...
we love you more than we could have known.

We did some shopping for our Poochdi. We bought a baby carrier and clothes for him. Chetan immediately put Atharv inside the bag and like a Kangaroo started flaunting his pouch with the baby.

Atharv's First Flight- Delhi to Mumbai

It was 14th December 2008, when Atharv was just one month and 4 days old, we took Indigo flight from Delhi to Mumbai. Aayi was with us. Atharv was not at all scared during his first flight. He was awake during take-off n landing and was very happy. Like a good bachha he slept during the flight.

I had great time with Mummy-Papa and our people in Delhi. Mummy fed me enough and papa took great care. Mummy and I saw loads of movies, enjoy long nights and long chats. Whereas with Papa, I enjoyed having breakfast discussing worldly issues/news and the tea time in the evening.

Atharv's first toy

He loves to play with this squeaker toy
