Diwali, Thanksgiving, Vishnu pooja, Aquarium,drama...

Oh God! There is so much going on. I am talking and saying so many words. We had a lot of fireworks on Diwali with our neighbors. We the had a Diwali party to celebrate.We also had a Vishnu sahasranamam at our house Many aunties came and Taman came. I played with him and shared my toys.

I have been learning a lot of words.I am into Shrek. I like the donkey and the princess. I am enjoying my Gymboree class a lot. I play with the teacher now and help her.
I am starting to dislike food. Maaam as I call it. I feel like drinking milk all the time. Nana is making me drink it twice at night but I still want more. I am giving Mommy a hard time with the feeding also.
I know numbers from 1 to 10. And I can say them without any help.I can say A B C and D.
I am starting to play with our neighbors, Bindu aunty and Sritha Akka.Everytime we facetime Nani and Thatha I ask to see Jeja. And with Chinna Nani, I ask for Sparky immediately. I dont talk to chinna nani that much, because I always focus on Sparky.
I almost forgot, we went to Baltimore to the Aquarium. We saw dolphins, Stingrays, Sharks, turtles and fishes. I liked them all.


Nana: Pari, story cheppu
Pari: Aitheeeee

Mummy: Pari, maam thintava
Pari: Buush...baanthoon (peepee and bathroom)

Mummy: Pari, ammama emantadhi
Pari: Raaamaaa, Krishnaaaaaa

Super storms, New Jersey visit, guests at home, Halloween

For Halloween this year, Nana and I went and bought the costume and I picked to be a cow.We went for trick or treating in our neighborhod. We had a halloween clock party too.

We went to New Jersey to Chinna Nani and Thathas place.  I had fun with sparky. Thatha threw a party to welcome me and Sona. We went to Ram Thathas home too and Ammama made a lot of tasty things to eat.
We came back rushing to avoid super storm Sandy.We avoided it and so did Virginia but New Jersey had a lot of flooding. Nani, Thatha and Abhi Mama's homes lost power. Abhi Mama and Shila attha came to our home to live with us for a week.
We had so much fun....I learnt NICE from Attha.I learnt to HELLO to everyone I see from Mama. I became friends with them. We all went to Luray caverns.

Halloween party

So much to say....after such a long break

Its been so long since I said something. Longest ever. And of course, sooo much happened.

Nani was sick, so Nana went to India to see her for a week. I missed him so much, but I was busy with parties. Sritha akka's saree ceremony was on Oct 7th(Sunday), so they had a lot of guests and kids all week, so I played with them. We gifted Sritha akka a pretty pair of earrings. We also went to Niranjan uncle's daughter's 5th birthday.

I partied hard in both these places. I danced and danced.

I did miss Nana a lot and kept asking for him in the middle of the night after 3-4 days. I really missed him.When Nana came back, he brought a lot of clothes for me. I looked at them and said 'WOOOW'. Nana brought a bracelet for Mommy from Dubai.

Nana said we will all be going to India to see Nani and Thatha in December.I cant wait to go there.

We went to Bathukamma last weekend. One more opportunity to dance. I danced and danced like crazy, until I got tired.

Oh, I almost forgot, I had a stomach virus, right after Nana came back. I was sick for 3-4 days. I threw up a lot and lost some weight. Everyone was worried for a few days. Nana said Nani and Thatha did not sleep well for 3 days and kept calling to find out how I was doing.

I recovered and I am doing great now. Did I tell you that I am now fully potty trained.I repeat almost all words.

New words:

Ethuko - Ko Ko

Put me up on the counter - UP Up

Take me upstairs - payna

Nana is not home - nana office

Mommy is coming home - mommy come

Vinayaka chavithi and Air Show

We brought a little Ganesh to our house for Vinakaya chavithi. We put him in the God rack and decorated him. I did puja to him and we all went to Kunal and Kirit's house for a party later that day. It was so much fun. Ammamma went to Eshu's house for 4 days, so it was just me, Sona, Nana and Mummy for all those days.

Nana and I went to the Dulles Place Pull and and air show on Saturday. Kumar uncle came with us too. We saw a bus, some really really big planes, some fighter jets, a helicopter that was flying over us. It was cool.

I have been learning a lot of words and I am potty training very well. I ask to go to bush and I almost go in the bathroom most of the time. I only wear a diaper at night. I did have a lot of false alarms and I am enjoying the sudden runs to the bathroom with Nana and mummy.

Oh, I almost forgot, Nana has been teaching me how to dance to 'Gangnam style PSY' video. It is a horse like dance. See how I did.

New words:

Brush - brosh

Photo - poto

Gogurt - goga

song - paata

milk - paal

I recognize Nani and Thatha very well on facetime.I say 'mornin' to them and good night.

Gangnam style dance

I always ask for songs

My first farm visit

I visited a farm for the first time in my life. We went to great country farms to pick apples. We took chelle with us too. It was fun. We went on a bus to the farm, we picked a lot of apples. I loved the bus ride and then I picked a lot of apples. We came back and I went on the cow train. I jumped on a giant pillow. Nana and mommy were scared that I would be scared. They worry about me for no reason.
I had so much fun, I tried to jump like other kids and fell so many times. And the pillow kept bouncing even when I fell down. Oh, so much fun.

We spend the sunday relaxing at home. Nana and I had a bubble bath.

Oh, I almost forgot. I have been learning a lot of words lately.

Banana - maana
Ice cream - iiiii
bathroom - pipi, bush
Nani - nani
Thatha - thatha - I know recognize them on facetime and call them out.
Aryan - aaeen
apple - appul
Bus - bossh
Pari - paaeeee - When Nana calls my name and I repeat it.
Daa - dhaa - When someone calls me, I say dhaa back.

I am starting to ask to go to bush. I think I will be potty trained very soon.

Chelle's 21st day

We had a huge party at home to celebrate Chelle's cradle ceremony. I was having fun in the beginning but as more people kept coming, I stuck with Nana.

Chinna Nani, Attha, Amit mama, Abhi mama and thatha came from New Jersey. Chichas and pinky auty also came. 2 new mama's came from NC(nana's college friends). I met a new friend name Ruthvika. She is 3. We are still working on being friends :-)

Zoo visit

Nana and I went to the zoo last week. And we went shopping to prepare for Sona's 21st day party.
We saw monkeys, goats, Antelopes, Ostriches, Camels, snakes, turtles and ponies. I liked the monkeys and saw a baby monkey. They kept jumping up and down from the tree branches.
There was a chicken that I was scared of it. I kept saying 'bye' to it.
We took a stick of feed for the birds. Nana held it up and the birds came flying and stood on it. They started eating the seeds. Next, I held the stick but as soon as a bird sat on it, I got scared and dropped the stick.

Did I tell you that I watched over the cleaners to make sure they dont mess with my toys. They were cleaning the house to prepare for Chelle's party.

See my picture playing with pindi. Speaking of pindi, I love pesar pinid like Nana. I can eat a lot of it.
