Varun with Neelu

Varun visited Drone and Meethi Aunty over the weekend. This is a video of him feeding Neelu some crackers. He just didnt want to stop!

My new chalkboard

Varun's latest object of attraction is his chalkboard and he has a chalk in hand all the time! He slept with it last night!

'Tis the season for pictures!

                                                               Varun with Santa.
                                                               Merry Christmas!

Varun goes to Hawaii!

yes, it was a much needed vacation for us. Varun had a blast and found a new friend Aayush. Here are some videos from the trip. Pictures to follow soon!



Varun called the roosters "Appadidu" sounding like cock-a-doodle-do



Doors is his latest pass time, it keeps him busy for a few minutes(which in the toddler world is a long time!)

Varun at Cherry Yash's place

I can count!

Proud Mama is happy to report that Varun is counting to 10! Here is a video capturing it...

sounds like vaaa, tyoo, thee, oo , iiive, siii, aven, aye, nine, ten

Messy me!

This is how meal time looks like with Varun these days. He insists on eating on his own and making a mess. The independent streak is kicking in!

Jumping!

Baba taught Gundo how to jump this weekend. He cant get his legs off the floor, so he squats instead! and once he starts he doesnt stop!!

My day out at the petting paddock

Varun went to the petting paddock at the San Diego zoo. Captured a few minutes of the fun he had there. He was so excited being near the goats!
Dont think they liked his touching their nose though!!

My first visit to the zoo

Varun visited the zoo for the first time yesterday.He didnt care too much about the animals but had a fun time .

The year you were born...

Dear Varun
This comes a year too late but thought it will be useful to summarize 2010 for you
1. Barack Obama was the President of USA.
2. Manmohan Singh was the prime minister of India
3. The economy of the US was looking slightly better
4. There was a massive Oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico
5. Facebook was the hottest social networking site. Yes your Mommy was hooked on it :)
6. The Eyjafjallajokul volcano in Iceland erupted
7. Ipad was the most wanted tablet 
8. The era of smart phones was just peaking
9. India unveiled the new rupee symbol
10. The LA Lakers won the NBA title
11. Green Bay packers were the NFL champions for the 2010 season...though technically they won in 2011.


am sure theres lots more to add ....will keep doing so as and when I remember...but gives you a good picture of the world you were born in.


Love 
Mommy

capturing his fun!

This video was taken at the kids section of the Ikea store. He was so happy seeing the colorful toys and loved the reindeer ride!



Varun does this new thing where he will screech with excitement if you try to take what he has in hand.He will run away so that you cant get to it... in the beginning of the video you will hear him say "Boo" which means Blue. He says Boo for Blue and Geen for Green :)

Gundi the wanderer

He is on the move all the time...most of the time aimlessly!

Him and his ways!

Man talk!

The only sense which matters- taste!

No, I dont like toys, containers are much more fun!

My first train ride!

so many firsts, its hard to keep up!

Mother of all milestones!- he is walking!

no, actually he is running !!! a birthday gift for his Baba!
he cant stop doing it and Mommy cant stop smiling :)

My first visit to the beach this year...

Gundi,Akash, Jelly and Junnu had a good time at the beach today....summer is here , looking forward to many such visits to the beaches!

Gundo's day out at the park

He had fun at the park today... he walked on his own(yay!) and swing is his favorite activity in the park.

Milestone Alert!: He is on the move

Yes, he is walking! ...cant wait to see him walk independently , he is almost there....!!

the world is your playground honey!

My first swim lessons!

It was like he knew what to do in the water, he was paddling and flapping and very happy....since summer is around the corner, we are excited about his love for the water!

Got Milk?

To India with love...

Gundo's first trip to India was adventurous to say the least...but he was a trooper! With all the love and attention he got there , its hard to match it up now that we are back in SD and we can see he is missing it.

Anyhoo even though Paparazzi Mommy didnt report for more than a month, she sure has been clicking away!

Here are some pictures from Gundo's first visit to India
