Auto mania....

......has gripped Suhas these days and making him crazy. This guy is very fond of autos and has been chanting it like mantra. As soon as he sees an auto he'll go "auto auto". Even a distant sound of it make him recognise it and make me realise that an auto is nearby. Crazy guy!!

Love for books

For quite sometime now I wanted to document suhas' love for books. Today is the day. He took to books rather easily. His first books were fruits and vegetable and animals. He enjoyed those for quite some time, then came Baby's First Library ABC which though we had bought earlier, we introduced it to him recently. He's enjoying it immensly. He opens the book whenever he lays his eyes on it and starts asking me to pronounce the words given in it. He's more interested in the yummy icecream pic printed on it and smiles whenever he sees it. Then came the set of 12 Noddy books which were gifted to him by his naveen mama. I have given him access to only book 1 till now (Noddy looses his bell). I plan to give him the rest when he starts understanding and reading. He's fascinated by the pic where Noddy cleans his car. It has a story of its own for him and then noddy picks up bert monkey and looses his bell in the journey which gets picked up by bumpy dog. This part of the story is what he understood and also points to the bell he lost. The next series of books are Disney's My Five Senses which deals with the same and was bought my his pranav mama . Suhas dint understand much of it, so I plan to introduce it to him later. Next in his collection of books comes Disney's lift the flap books, which he is slowly started to take interest in. That's it for now.
I plan to enlarge his collection bit by bit with each passing phase of his and make earnest attempt to kindle a reading habit in him which I think would be the greatest gift I can give to him. I dont believe in forcing my wishes on him, but just trying to germinate a seed which is already there.

First bicycle

Suhas got his first cycle on May 24th 08. I know this post is tad too late but I got too busy with life, so I had to set my mind to blog this weekend. For one Suhas is sprouting teeth again, this time upper and lower "first molar", two sets at a time. He's understandably very uncomfortable with lower gums swelled up at that area and is refusing food for past many days. Feeding him is becoming a struggle everyday. Hope this phase ends soon. As if it was not enough, he was down with fever, cold and cough. Imagine these things attacking a baby all at a time. Ok end of digression.

So he got a big cycle which he cant ride to his hearts content as his feet doesnt reach the lower pedal *sigh*. It was bought to him keeping in mind the longevity of the said cycle. So as of now, he pedals halfway and then pushes the other pedal down to bring the first pedal up again. Grow up soon little boy!!
