Food Feeding

Hi,

Today was my Food Feeding Ceremony. They put a garland for me and everyone fed me some sweet rice, or pukkai as Amma would call it.

It was lovely and finger licking goood!

Unlike Annai and Cinnanai who were crying through their food feeding ceremonies, I DID NOT CRY....

I just smiled and smiled and smiled.

See you all soon.

Shaving it all off

Dearest Baby Thangachi,

You're bald today. You did not cry at all, unlike the noisy other baby who was wailing the place down and I had to close my ears with my hands.

You know, they shaved Annai and me when we were very little, but you're lucky enough to be shaved when you're five months old only.......you look weird you know, with the sandalwood paste on your head.....they shaved us at home, but you were shaved at batu Caves....maybe it's because you're a girl and we're boys....and boys are special......


All you did (or ever do) is smile, and smile and smile.

love,
Cinnanai

The day Bagyashri turned over

Hi Bagyashri,

What a commotion two weeks ago at home just because you turned around. Makes me wonder if Amma and Appa were just as excited when Thambi and I turned over as well. Wonder what's going to happen when you start dragging yourself on the floor, we might have a party......

Anyway, you're five months old today, and you're 64cm. Also, you are 5.95kg. Hurry up and put on some weight, baby.

You shouldn't be eating your toe, it's dirty. But personally, I think it tasted really good whileI was allowed to eat mine a few years back. ENJOY it while you can; if you tried it at 4 1/2 years old, Amma will bring the rotan.

Hugs,
Annai

4 months old

Hi,

I'm four months old today. Amma still keeps saying that I'm a gem.....hehehehehe

anyways, I got my jab today...cried a while just to scare the doctor, but then I smiled again when Amma carried me. Doctor says that I have grown to 62cm and at 5.5.kg.

Sometimes when Appa talks to me I nod my head a little just as he does, and this gets Appa really excited=). I just don't like it when Appa kisses me with his beard unshaven, it pokes me so, Appa.......

Searching for Amma

Hi Annai and Cinnanai,

Has anyone seen Amma? I'm spinning around whenever Mina patti puts me on my back to look for Amma. I'm even turning sideways on my right looking for her........

Oh there's Amma......time for me to go and coo at her to get her attention. And I love smiling and smiling at Amma......I want to smile at Appa too, but he's always scolding me and telling me that i need to smile at him more.....

See Appa....Bagyashri's smiling now......bub bye

Hating may baths

I hate my baths...it makes me cold and wet.......so I cry. Appa says i'm like a "kambing"....coz apparently only "kambing" don't like to bathe......well.......

By the the time I become three months old, I will begin to enjoy my bath...and I would have stopped crying. how do I know? I'm physic.

Hehe.

My first entry.....

Hi there,

Thanks for reading my blog. I'm very excited to write, and I will help Amma and Appa update this as much as we can.

I've completed two months today, and I think I've been a pretty good baby so far. I drink milk every three hours or so and then play for an hour before wailing my heart out to signal that I am sleepy. Amma and the nanny Ghandhima fuss over me while I sleep and then two hours later I awake again. When I'm awake, I'm constantly entertained by Annai and Chinnanai, and i try my best to be active by spinning to the right. I make about a 35 degree turn and stop there. I also play with my baby gym, but listening to Annai and Chinnanai is by far more fun.

Amma says I'm the easiest baby so far among the lot. I drink my last feed about 8 every night and then only wake up for the next feed around 3 or 4am. I'm giving you as much rest as you can get before my tummy rumbles Amma......

I heard Annai and Chinnanai had pretty bad bouts of colic at my age, but I've been blessed to not have any of those so far. Maybe because I've feeding on Amma's milk more than both my brothers did. Amma says boys are always so greedy and her milk was never enough. Well, it's enought for me Amma.....

I'm 55 cm and 4.5kgs now, and I'll grow and grow and grow I guess.

Okay then, Bagyashri will sign off now. I'll keep everyone posted.

Oh...did I mention I've already travelled to Sitiawan at this tender young age? Had no clue what was happening, all's well as long as Amma and Appa are near by.
