How flexible children are ... I think I should have called this edition "Rishi's acrobatics.." Ha ha...!!! Check out the picture you'll know why I am saying this ..
Right from day one he has been putting everything into his mouth, anything and everything ...He puts his ten fingers in and if you offer him your hand he wouldn't mind it he would take in that too ..:) Honestly I need a robot to just keep taking his hand out ..sometimes I get worried at this habit ...everyone pulls me by saying "Like Mother Like son" -- God forbid !
Whenever I change his Diaper he gets into perfect position to get his leg into his mouth.The other day Rajathi patti was telling me that usually most children do this..But she said "NOT ALL" children do it so we decided to capture it on the camera ... :) Here you go .. Have a glimpse of it
We decided to call this post as "Alilai Rishi" -- Apt isn't it ??{For all those of you know who dont know what Alilai stands for is - Lord Krishna's picture has been depicted in this form with his leg in his mouth on a "Alilai" (Peepal Leaf)}
My god can you imagine that he has his own favourite songs ?? To get him to sleep we have to use the 150 song list (poem) ..I keep telling Raja that the best thing that he has done so far from the internet is his download of these poems.. Pooh I must tell you it's a boon for me ..!!!
For sometime his all time favourite song was " Chennaiyile Kudaram ..." If he is screaming, I just have to start off Chennaiyile and he would just zippp.........Now ..his favourite is "John Jacob..." & " China Papa" ... So i decided to ask Malli Athai to sing it for him , obviously I am no match to her voice...We got this recorded over phone... As soon as he listens to this song he just goes quiet....:)
Listen to this awesome Athai Patti's song to her Peran... !!! Enjoiiiii

Did I tell you about my fall with mommy from the Rocking Chair..Me and Mommy were happily listening to my music and I was almost asleep suddenly I heard a dhud.. and a panick cry from Amma .."Rishi Rishi are you allright..." I just opened my mouth to cry and Mommy plugged in the paci ..I was shell shocked as much as Amma..She started crying saying ..I am so sorry Rishi ...and alas I saw my Rocking chair in two peices..Mommy was hurt but she kept asking .."Rishi are u ok ???" Heard that night from appa that she was in immense pain..Pooh..And you know ..what Appa buys me a Rocking chair the next day..A nice high tech one..Now Me and MOmmy are Rocking away.... Thanks Pa

Finally we managed to go to ToysRUs and a grab a few toys for him ... ! He gleamed in happiness seeing the new doggie ..That makes lot of new sounds.. It Sings for him sometimes he gets scared seeing the lights flash.. Ha ha.. It's so much fun for him now. I got the idea of clicking Rish's PlayZone I am sure the number of Toys are just going to multiply ..I dont know where I am going to store them ..lol :) When I clicked the Playzone I got a super duper idea I am going to catch a snapshot of his closet, his stroller, his food ...etc ..When he walks down the memory lane I think he 'll be delighted to see all of this na ? Will save that work for the weekend as my official photographer is not available at the moment (Ha ha ...Offcourse Raja!) Cheers !!! Rishi have fun with your new Toys..!
We went to Kroger yesterday .. !It started to drizzle and so we took our umbrella to secure Rishi ... and Rishi said to me .. "Mom u take care of the cart and i will hold the umbrella tomyself ..Dont worry "
When we planned the trip , we always had it in the back of our minds..How is Rishi going to take it ..Infact I kept asking him .."Rishi we have lot of plans at Madison ..Do you have any ??!" Little did I know that he was just going to throw our plans out of gear... All along when we were planning the trip I was only worried on how he would be behaving in the car .. Because he never enjoyed sitting in his "Car Seat". I never thought about how he would be in someone's house...I really didnt have my plans for the same ..Honestly ..!!! And that I now realise is the biggest mistake ! The trip was memorable for "Rishi" for lot of wrong reasons :( .Rishi was totally out of place..Total unlike "Rishi". I think the issue was that we had given him his shots (vaccines) on Friday and we travelled on saturday. He had fever for the most of saturday ..He was very quiet ..He kept sleeping most of the time in the Car. But when we were nearing Madison his fever started rising and he became really cranky.. ( We took the vaccine because the doctor said he could take it and travel. Infact he got the same set of vaccines which he had got in his 3rd month and at that time he didnt get fever.. ) Saturday evening when we landed in Lakshmi's place the time was around 10 PM ..:( He was totally cranky ..I tried to feed him milk ..He wouldnt take it ..He was very naggy . Around 11 PM he just started crying ..not in minimal sound as he usually does ..He was screaming his throat out .So unlike Rishi I thought to myself but he continued to go bizzare .........He constantly was crying ..I tried everything in my sleeve ..Toys ..Pacifier ..Milk ..Diaper Change ..Dress Change ..My usual Kudaram Song , his string of Poems ..., Nothing worked. He kept screaming ..I was in tears not knowing what to do .. Appa started crying ..It was a really unforseen situation..Chitti, Shreeya all were running and trying to do different things to calm him down. Nothing practically worked..Raja was tensed and helpless though he constantly kept helping us out with diff solutions nothing worked that day..I was just thinking that we might have to rush him to a hospital emergency because we didnt know why he was crying and we didnt know what could practically get him down. Finally we found a solution .....Thankfully ..Yes !!!! a "Rocking chair" and luckily we found one in Lakshmi's house..And in 15 mins we managed to rock him to sleep.. POOHHHHHHHHHH..What a relief ,. ! Thank GOD ! I have never seen Rishi this cranky before ...When i spoke to my Aunt this morning (Devaki Athai) she told me that it was because of the change of place..Babies usually do not enjoy ""change of place" I believe..An experience of my life ...Painful ...unforgettable day in my life when I was a Helpless "Mother"I now keep telling Rishi ...There are no more trips for you until you turn 3 ..Your trip outside will be to Kroger, Meijer,Wal-Mart, K Mart and to your pediatrician ... Ha ha ha ..
I am six months old today ...I know time is flying .. :) I am growing up..
Thanks for the new dress... as usual !!! It has been a ritual @ our household to have a new dress every month for my birthday!! This month infact I got to wear two new dresses as I spoiled one by burping some cereal onto my red one so dada got me dressed in the second blue one .. What do you think guys ? How do i look in them ?
My hair is grown a lot , I look all curled up ..Dont I ??? It's going to be a while before I crop them off. In a matter of months dont be surprised to see me in a high pony ? Have I lost some pounds or have I become taller and hence look thinner ?
And today mama gave me a bath all by herself. It's a milestone yes ! until patti was here she used to head the bathing procedure or she used to help mama , then after she left - dada and mama used to handle it and now that dad was busy at work Mom took it on her . It is a "milestone" - Yes because the jumping and standing and dancing that I do - I need atleast 4 hands to handle me when i am bathing .. ! Good job mama !
