Little Nishith in different looks

We thought of dressing him like a girl and here are some of those pics.

Nishith in different avatars

Nishith's First Birthday

We wanted to keep his first Birthday as a private affair since he will not be able to enjoy/understand anything now. So we did it in his Granny's place. Visited a temple, offered prayers/pooja. Cut the cake in the evening.

Some pics for you from his Birthday

Next day we headed towards Belur and Halebeedu. Admired the Hoysala acrhitecture, got some pics from there too.

Little Nishu is interested in ...

His interests by now are only advertisements in TV. Put on any advertisement and we can easily feed him. I have not watched so many advertisements in my life as many I have watched with him. Ad over, program start, he would not even turn towards the TV.
Another interest is his papa's laptop which has all the ppts of Nishu's interest like the ppts of animals, birds, colours, fruits etc.. along with sounds. Now he is imitating almost all the animals from the PPT.
He is also interested in bhavageethe. Its probably because of me who makes him listen to those beautiful songs from my phone or will sing them myself to him. I have identified 3 songs of his interest. 1. Amma naanu devaraane 2. KarunaaLu Baa Belake 3. Amma ninna edeyaaladalli.
What took me by surprise was, one day on TV, M.D.Pallavi was singing this beautiful song 'Amma ninna edeyaaladalli'. Nishu started looking around searching for me. Soon after his eyes met mine, he started shouting with Joy..
His recent interest is reading books. He gets his story book, pulls our hand and we have to help him point his fingers on the book and we have to read it aloud for him.
Also, now he wants to operate the tab all by himself.

Playful Nishith

Nishu's dad did this crazy thing of comparing with the poster babies..

Nishu at work :-D

Nishu on his toy walker

We used to have frequent visits to his doddappa's house and few good pics from there.

He is very good at giving nice poses to the camera. That is why in most of his pics, he is actually looking at the camera. Sometimes, he acts as if he is conscious of the camera flash, and this is how he acts

His playthings now are buckets, utensils,spoons... and not toys.

Little Krishna's Naming Ceremony

We had the formal naming ceremony on 15-May-2012. Finally LK got an official name which would go into his school records 'NISHITH KALMATH'. We all fondly call him 'Nishu'
He was dressed like a prince.

 
My lovely sis Sindhu took all the effort to decorate his cradle and also to dress him up.

 Some pics from that day.

With everyone..

 

Little Krishna: Pre Bengaluru Days

I am again getting a verrry strong urge to start writing on my blog.
Looking at the pace my son is getting older(Yes,older), looking at his activities,strongly feeling that I should record these somewhere. Which better place than my own blog for this?On this auspicious day of Krishnaashtami, just thought I would write few things about my dear little Krishna who is already 1.7yrs now.
Here it goes..Before I start off with his current activities, let me give a snapshot of his babyhood days (Yea, babyhood days --like childhood days..now he is no more a baby, he is a toddler of 1.7 yrs)
Whenever I see my little one with any mischievous behavior, I thought I would put this in my blog. But I think those days were not as auspicious as this Janmaashtami day :-D. So here goes the story of my little Krishna.
We were expecting our baby on 29-Dec-2010. But Little Krishna(LK from now on) arrived a day late on 30-Dec-2010. When I first saw him, I felt it was all worth the pain.
Below is his photo collage till LK was 3-4 days.

We stayed in his Granny's place(my mom's place) till LK was 4.5 months. Had nice oil massage baths from my granny(LK's great grand-mom).

Had a very small naming ceremony when LK was 11 days old also called as the lingadharane.

Some pics when he was in 1st month,2ndmonth,3rd month.

 

First time thumb sucking ppic. (We enjoyed this scene at first. Now it has become a habit and we dont know how to get rid of it :-( )

We had to make some trips from his granny's place to bengaluru for vaccinations.
On one such trips, in the railway station waiting for the train to Bengaluru.

Some sleeping poses when he was 3 months.
