Reading with Mama

I have a book now, Uppa bought it for me last week. It is Sesame Street book "Big Bird Says..." There's a lot of games in the book. Big bird will tell us what to do. Like, she will ask to touch your nose, and then touch your head etc. For the mean time, because I cannot read, Mama will read it for me. What I do is just listen to her and see the pictures. It has sooo many colorful pictures. I like it very much. If I think Mama doesn't read it in a good way, then I will read along wit her to show her how to red for a baby. Aaaghh... oouugh.. rrrr... brrr.....

Sometimes when Mama read the book... I will try to hold the book by myself. Well, of course it is not because I am sooo smart... hehehe. It is just because I like to touch everything now. And bring it to my mouth. Yes, if I'm tired of 'reading' program... I will taste the book. Hey, don't blame me. I only can decide if the book is good or bad only after I taste it. Hehehe... And I think this book is fine ;-p

Usually after finish the book, Mama will leave me and do her home duty. I will play alone, or with Uppa, if he's at home. Reading is not that much interesting for a baby if there's nobody read it for me, right....? So I will back to my own game... Roll-over. It is still my favorite game to play. I will do it at anytime I want. When I feel bored, or when I'm angry cause Mama doesn't come right away when I call her. I even do roll-over when I sleep...! I think Mama have to put plastic sheet all over the bed now ;-p

Happy 3 Moths Old

Today I'm 3 months old. I'm getting bigger and stronger everyday, alhamdulillah. So far there's no big problem about me. Mama and Uppa said they don't have that much problem to taking care of me.

This last one month, I've learned so many things. More smiles, talk, lay on my back, roll-over, and also cry ;-p . I can cry louder than I used to be when I was1-2 months old... There was a night when I cried soooo loud, I think with my maximum volume hehehehe....

Today we we went out to visit Uppa's friend who just come home from US. They have a 7 months old baby also. But I didn't play that much. The weather is sooooo hot, and there was a power cut too. There's no power to turn on the fan... It made me feel uneasy, and I cried most of the time.

From there, we went to one book exhibitions. A lot of children book there. Mama and Uppa searched some book for me. And I got one.... "Big Bird" book... with a lot of pictures and colors. When we reach home, Mama read the book for me. While she's reading... I'm looking to the pictures and read my own way..... aah....uuughh.. baaaa.... mbrrrr...

It is really fun...

It is really fun to lay and play like this. Yesterday (February 14) was the first time I can rollover my body. Lay on my back, then on my chest... continue roll to lay again on my back....

Toy Episode

Hmmm....
Where does the sound come from....?

Why do these balls have different colors...?

Boat Trip

I began my Sunday very early. I mean, earlier than usual ;-p Mama and Uppa still sleep when I woke up. So I played by myself. Mama heard my voice. She gave me milk and we're continue playing together for sometime. Then Uppa joined us also. When I tired of playing Mama put me again to sleep.

I slept for 1 hour, when I woke up again, Uppa and Mama was taking their breakfast. Uppa said he will bring us for a small trip. We're going to Kumarakom, backwaters. After breakfast Mama changed my dress and prepared my things in one bag. Around 11 AM, we start from home by bus. The bus was very very rush, even it is sunday. Uppa take me in carrier, and we got one seat. But Mama failed to get one. She had to stand with a lot of people.

After 1 hour we reach to Chertala, and picked up Uppa's cousin. Then we start again a bus journey to Kumarakom.
This time we all got seat... The view was very beautiful... That's what Uppa said, cause Mama was sleeping on bus hehehe. We can see water in the right and left side of the road. The road is just like a brigde, but it isn't... Can you imagine it..?

When we reach there... we spent half an hour to relax and enjoyed the big lake, while we're waiting for the next boat. Then the next programme was boating... I sit witn Mama. Yes it was my first boat trip. The sound of the boat didn't make me afraid and cry. I enjoy my journey. Well at least for sometime. Then suddenly I cried very loud. I feel tired. Finally I slept half of the boat journey....

This is how I do it

I am busy to explore my own body now. Around 3 weeks back, I started to realize that I have two hands. I will raise my hands high and I can stay for more than 10 minutes just to look at my hands... and in the next few days, I started to put my hands in my mouth and taste it. After that I can turn my body to left and right side. Because of it, now my sleeping position had changed not on my bach anymore, but on my side of body.

The next improvement.... I remember January 26 was the first time I can roll my body to lay with my chest down. Earlier, Mama have to help me to do it. That Monday morning Mama was in bathroom and Uppa was leaving to office. When Mama came to see me she found me already lay on my chest. Then she called Uppa who run back to home. They laugh happily.

This is how I do it. First of course I will turn my body to left side (I always do it to left side, I don't know why). And then my chest and my back continue move facing down. The next task is to pull my left hand free. For that, I will raise both my legs. It is not easy for a baby like me, I have to use all my energy... (Sometimes when it doesn't work, I will cry and call Mama to help me).

If I'm able to raise my legs with my knee by myself, there will be a little gap between the bed and my body. That is the right time to pull and release my left hand...

And here I am....

Now I am an expert ;-p
Most of the time, I don't need Mama to help me anymore. I just have to wait until my neck become stronger. When it happen, maybe Mama have to watch me all the time... hehehehe.

My first fever...

Last week I had my first fever (well, I mean a real fever, not because of immunization). My body temperature was a little bit higher than normal. I got flu and little cough also. It made me feel uneasy. I can't sleep by my own as usual. I need Mama to carry me while I'm sleeping. Everytime she put me in my cradle, I woke up immediately. But I didn't cry that much. I just felt uncomfort. So I made Mama busy whole saturday... I mean, I didn't even let her to go to kitchen to cook. Uppa bought food for both of them :-( I went to sleep very late that day. And it was rain also. Maybe because of the change of weather so sudden made me sick. On the next day, I woke up only at 11 AM...!!! But I felt much much better. Mama didn't bath me, cause she still worry I will get fever again. She just washed me with wet clothes.

On Sunday afternoon me, Uppa, and Mama went to Tinu Auntie's wedding. Tinu Auntie is Uppa's colleague in his office. I saw a lot of people there. When we reached back home, I feel very tired. And I started to cry more. And I slept only at 1.30 AM at night... and woke up again at 11 AM. I think I'm ok now. I slept almost the whole day on Monday. I will wake up only if I'm hungry, and for play with mama for some time. Monday night I don't have any problem to go to bed. And Tuesday morning, not like the last two days, I woke up very early in the morning... The fist thing I do is to turn my body up side down. Do you know what I mean.... I mean lay with my chest down. Did I tell you about it...? Yes, I can do it by myself now. That's how I wake Mama up today. She was sooo surprise when she feel something push her on bed. Actually it was me... hehehehe. Hse was very happy to find me turn up side down by myself again... and she called Uppa to see. Then the three of us play together on bed.

I have a pool

Look what Uppa just bought me last night ...

A BABY POOL ...!!!

Last night we went to visit an exhibition in town. It is a big exhibition. We have to pay Rs.30 per head for the entry ticket! From there Uppa got this pool. He thinks that I can play and bath in it. Now because I can't sit my own yet, Mama will hold me when I want to take bath in the pool. But wait for another 2-3 months... I will play by myself. I am very happy....

Eid day, Trip to Beach... etc

I want to tell about my last week end. Cause last Friday was Eid day, Uppa took leave from office. We had a long week end . So we were planning to go to Tirurangadi again on Thursday night. Mama started packing bags from morning itself. She prepared my dress, cradle, sheets, everything. I'm helping her also... In my own way, of course : I didn't cry and sleep very nicely. Mama said I'm a good girl.... .

At night Uppa came and we started our journey by jeep. It is and old model jeep... so it gave me some 'interesting' experience... hehehe...

On Friday, I went to mosque for Eid prayer with Uppa and Mama. And I didn't cry when Mama pray... I just play and talk... to myself. When we reach back to Umumma's home, Ami moothaappa (Uppa's eldest brother) already there with his family. So, I met my cousins Jaseelkka and Haniatha.

In the evening all the family had a small trip to beach. Again we went by jeep. We enjoyed sunset there. It was a very beautiful sunset. And I like the sound of the waves, the wind, and the sand. I will share some photos for you...


Relaxing on the sand...



me and my cousins (Yasin,Jaseel, and Hania)

Saturday I didn't do anything that much. Ami mothaappa and family already left to their relatives. Most of the time, I just slept.... aaaall day. On Sunday evening we went back to our home in Cochin. And it's my first trip by train. I sat on my Uppa's lap, but I didn't sleep. I think I want to enjoy my first train. When we almost reach Cochin, I fell to sleep cause I was very tired. Then another train pass... with a very big sound. I was so surpraised and cried very loud. Hm.. i don't like big sound like that... it makes me afraid.


my first train journey

I am 2 months old today....
