Hey All of you out there...Dont be surprised /shocked or Confused... Rishitha ain't my sister...It's me ...
offcourse it's Mom's idea. (Who else can get these weird ones ??? Mom Chill ..Just joking ) There have been so many people against this idea ...Shreeya Chitti , Rohini Aunty, Shirish Mama, Dad..All of them ...were dead against the idea but Mom got her way through. All along she wanted to have a girl .. !I have heard her say a number of times (Right from when I was in her tummy) "I want a girl ..so that I can dress her up beautifully..." and since her wish wasn't granted she is working on these ideas..
Mom just has been collecting all these "pink" accessories right from the day she picked up this dress at Carters..She has been going gaga over the dress..I really gave her a tough time putting all these on and not for a single moment was I quiet ..obviously I sensed that something was weird :)Hat's off to all the little girls who must be wearing all these day in and out..
Mom plans to give this dress away to my little friend Maya (Sneha Aunty's daughter) as I hardly wore them for a few minutes..!!!
Heard Appa telling Amma - "Rishi is going to be mad at us for doing this to him". Amma is not done yet she has plans to do one more thing ...God save me !! She wants me dressed in a traditional pavadai ( Thankfully she hasn't been able to get hold of one yet..)She is hunting and making efforts , passing the word around with her friends to see if anyone would have one that fits me...( I HONESTLY HOPE SHE DOESN'T FIND ONE!! PLS HAVE UR PRAYERS FOR ME)
Mom wanted to do this "baby girl make over" this month because as you all might know that I am getting my hair tonsured at the Pitsburgh Temple in November...So all the curls will be gone ...I am relieved honestly because Amma does a pony for me atleast 15 times a day :( and unfortunately Mom is not as experienced as Jeyashree Patti who does it in no time!!! I like the pony but I have to go th' a great ordeal to get there..Can't wait to get my hair tonsured ...:)
But On the other hand I will miss my hair too...I have got too many compliments from my American uncles and aunts on my curls..Everyone exclaims "ooh...how much hair??", "A boy or a girl","Lovely Hair"...so on and so forth..So that's gona be missed ..
Have a look at the pictures taken today ...
So have you all made a decison yet who get's your vote Rishi or Rishitha ???
Cheers !!!!

Rishi Moon Walks ...
Oh my God !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG OMG OMG OMG That's how Shreeya errupted in joy when she saw Rishi walk his first few steps ...!
I can't believe that Rishi is going to be mobile soon...I know what you are all saying. Yes he is going to pull everything apart in a matter of time ...:( But there are advantages too..We dont have to carry him to the car ..We dont have to hold him when he is having his bath ..We don't have to stand behind him protecting him from his fall...These are some of the luxuries that we will enjoy.. HURRAYYYY!!!!
Few days back he started keeping few steps ..thats when my Devaki Athai was telling me " Etu Masathula Kuzhandai Etu Adi vekum" meaning when a child is 8 months old he will atleast walk 8 steps !!! He did it...He is nine months old now and he is so excited that he is walking that he keeps doing just that ....Walking..Walking and Walking................When he walks he roars ...He is so proud that he is walking ha ha ...He thinks it's a major achievement ! " Yes ! it is Rishi ...Amma and Appa are proud of you"
These small achievements count...Don't they ?
All of you reading this Give him a pat him on his back...Rishi is growing up ...
Catch a glimpse of his moonwalk ...!!! Right here ...Right now...

Am 9 Months Old :)
Hey All,
This is Rishi ..I can't beleive the month just went so fast..And I am 9 months old. So what was special this month ??? Hm... let me think ..I celebrated along with Amma and Appa My First .."Krishna Jayanthi", "Navarathiri","Ayuda Pooja". It was a very memorable experience.
I did lot of good things this month - the best thing that I think I have done over this month is ...guess what ??? "I am able to walk" some steps without support ...Appa and Amma are delighted about this. Whenever I start walking Amma starts counting ...My current record stands at 26 steps... I use my hands as my support . Amma keeps telling me it's like as if I am trying to fly or as if I am driving a scooter.. He he !!!!
Another important milestone that has happened during the month is that I have started "teething".Two have started cutting out in my bottom row. Thankfully I didn't have much issues while teething.
I have now started trying to eat different veggies (natural ones not Gerber ones ) . Am enjoying ..!I have also had a tasting session on "Vendiya Kuzhambu","Mor Kozhambu","Flavoured Yoghurt","Rasam"....I am relishing all of it. I think I have got tired of the formula and hence loving different tastes , but now I dont like to sip the coffee. I think my taste buds are developing !!
Another forgettable incident that happenned during this month was my terrible visit to the Pediatrician this month. I had a shot. It was actually not bad as I had only one shot..And I just screamed a little then I was back to my usual self.Unexpectedly Dr.Kaza wanted a blood test done and this was my first experience and would you believe it they didnt poke me to take the sample they infact inserted a needle into the vein and I went bizzare ..Poor Mom she was terrified because I was uncontrollable and I puked from the top , I was leaking at the bottom and I was just fluttering my hands and legs to break free. Pooh ...!!! She had to then clean me up ,clean herself and then calm me down and then she brought me home and gave me tylenol and I was then ok.
I also have learnt a few intersting things over this month ---a phone is supposed to be kept closer to the ear, a pillow is used to sleep on and that Dad leaves me everyday to work :( and that I miss him terribly. Thankfully Amma stays home. But Amma and Appa are contemplating to send me to Daycare as I have now become an adhesive to Amma ..he he!!!! I am always under Amma's feet ..when cooking or when she is doing her office work. he he... I even go and stand knocking the restroom door when she is inside !!! :) Poor Amma !She keeps complaining to Thatha and Patti about how a sticker I have now become!
See my pictures taken on 22nd ...Haven't I grown a bit taller and a little more Handsome ha ha ...!!! Will catch up with you all in a month ...! See ya!

Our Little Krishna...
We just celebrated Rishi's first Krishna Jayanthi...It was so much fun.
We didn't do much homework on his costume ...Actually we tried the "pacha pattu"(Green Dhothi) today only and guess what it wasn't fitting him...Ha ha ..that's why you will see our Krisha keeps revealing his diaper every now and then..
We tried everything only that day and hence we weren't absolutely perfect with it but neverthless we made an effort what say ?! We did beg & borrow some stuff but unfortunately they didn't fit him.. :(
Actually Rishi was not comfortable right from the word go..I think we really troubled him too much. I think he is too young for this. Maybe next year or when he is 2 he will be able to appreciate it and impersonate Lord Krishna. It was evident that he wasn't happy because he didn't give us his usual effervescent smile.Usually he keeps giggling in every picture ..today we took atleast fifty pictures he just managed to smile in a couple of them .
We tried to make his first janmashtami as special as possible. I had made "thatai","upu seedai","vela seedai","Appam:,"Payathanganji" ...Appa had suggested that after we make all of this we offer it to the Lord. by letting Rishi to where we have placed all the prasadams...whichever Rishi touches he said that it is beleived that is accepted by the Lord himself. So we decided to do the same and guess what he picked the thatai ...!!! ;-) I thought he would go for his favourite Butter ..he didn't ...!!!! Do check out the pics and a small glimpse of what happenned today..!
Hey ..this is Rishi ..Amma forgot to do one thing which I want to do now.."THANK YOU very much Radhu Patti, Srikanth Mama and Janani Chitti." I know Amma drove you bizzare to get me a flute and I think you went to every street and corner in Chennai to fetch me one. Thank you so very much..Eventually you got me an Indian flute (The tricolor one..) ha ha ...Appa managed to conceal it by nicely wrapping it in a golden ribbon..Doesn't it look apt now ? The flute..Thank you so much ...!!! U made my day so special ..!

Bompu's Day Out - Kensington Park
This was on a hot summer day ..@ the Kensignton Park - a huge acred park with lot of fun activities. 8 families had gone together so it was big jing bang and we had a good time.
Food,Literature,Antakshari - A day away from the busy Buzz ..It was relaxing and refreshing ...Bompu really enjoyed himself - he was in the best of his behaviour.He freaked out with Diya and Shreeya who gave him good company!!! He was friendly with everyone. But these days whenever he sees someone new he starts crying infact screaming it worries me a lot ...He has started recognising new faces. R says he will get better as he gets old . I hope so ...
We have put in here a few glimpses from that day. We shot a whole video but it was too large to accomodate here ...!
When we finished the day all of us had the same thoughts we should do this more often ...!"

Rishi Explores...
Rishi has become mobile ..Yah he ventures out on his own not on his legs but on his knees. Not a corner is left unexplored.Everyone keeps telling me "Wait till he starts walking" ..."Hmmm....."
But at the moment I am enjoying this every bit though I keep cribbing every now and then that I cant handle this guy ...Things move on..(I think Cribbing comes naturally to me !) "RISHI keeps me busy and totally on my toes (God Save Me)"
Whenever I call out to him from the kitchen in a moment he is there..I can't imagine that only a few weeks ago I was grumbling to Jey Chitti that He was not crawling and was getting quiet concerned" and now he is ..driving me up the wall .
When I am cooking he is in the kitchen ..getting his hands onto anything and everything in the kitchen,...When I am at work on the laptop he crawls towards it and attempts to do some programming himself ..Then he is off to the bedroom ..Pooh... Tirelessly ...(He is offlate trying to sneak into the restrooms. So far we have managed to have him out...!!! )
One of his favourite spots is now standing and watching television. We have just tried to secure the wires and the other gadgets by tying a wooden gate like structure onto our TV stand .Rishi's favourite passtime now, is to hold onto the sofa and stand up or sit down and crawl towards the TV and hold the gate /stand up with the gate's support and watch television..If his poems are on display you can even hear lot of "coo coos" and laughter in between ..He enjoys this thoroughly.
Also Rishi has started picking up on the Camera ..Whenever R takes out the camera to shoot he gets alert and starts smiling and following R and tries to reach for the camera ...
Here is a glimpse of what is happenning here day in and day out ...His visits to the kitchen and bedroom ... (Offcourse we haven't covered the destruction that he does...) We have been nice to Rishi...;-) Cheers !

Am 8 Months Old :)
Hey all,
Rishi here ...
Been a while right ??? exactly one month to be precise. But am sure Mom would have been updating you of all that's happenning in and around me !!!
This month I have started to get up and have started to walk holding things ..Especially I love the sofa ..It's of my perfect height ...and I have the carpet below since I am now not 100% strong on my knees I keep hitting the floor..! And u know why I love the sofa ?..Because that's where Appa and Amma always leave their precious things .."LAPTOP","MOBILE PHONES","VIDEO RECORDER","PHONE CHARGERS" ...:) They have been leaving these there because they thought I could not reach them...Now that I can ...they are struggling ;-)
I am now into "full fledged crawling" ...! I follow Amma and Appa anywhere and everywhere they go..To the kitchen , To the bathroom , To the bedroom..They have a tough time escaping my eyes! That reminds me I have to ask Appa to upload my crawling video..
Thatha left on 9th of this month..I miss him terribly..He used to take me out to see the cars atleast 4 times a day ..Now amma and appa do it only once or twice ... :( And he used to lift me the moment I start crying ..Amma doesnt do that :-( Thatha when will you be back ???? Cant wait for April...
I do video conferencing with Thatha and Patti on and off ...I saw Athai and Perima and also Kausi akka and Govi Anna ..I believe Kolu thatha is longing to see me ...He keeps telling patti that he wants to see me ...Hopefully I will get to see him when I go home next year ..!!
Also last weekend we went for shopping to BirchRun .. Amma and Appa bought me a bunch of dresses from Carters..Lot of winter clothing ...Yah i still can't beleive it...We are nearing the end of Summer..
That's about it for now ..Catch u sometime later..Take care ..Bye
Loads of Luv
Rishi
