11 Months complete

Aarush has spent his first 11 months in the US. When I say that, it means he is now, in India, landed on 8th November at 2:50am IST. During this 11th Month he spent his first week in Beaverton, OREGON with his Nimmi ammama, Haneef thatha and Kelly pinni. And ofcourse his Nanamma was there. He wouldn't be away for a while from his nanamma and had a great time with all of them along with the Kitten (Cat) - you can see some pics in his 11th month.

In this month there were lot of reasons to have parties and celebrations, because there were two festivals - Dasara, Deepavali and a Birthday. Most of the relatives, cousins and friends were here to celebrate Aarush's first Dasara and Deepavali in US with him. It was a gathering of nearly 20+ people, pictures in the 11th month link. And lot of dinner invitations as Aarush and Mom were leaving to India. Also not to forget that, Aarush had fun during Halloween too. His costume was a Pumpkin.

As all these was going on, we had a mixed feeling about his leaving to India. We were sad that we will miss his presence, mischief, laughter, crawling around the house, cry for food when he is hungry/ when he is sleepy. And happy that, everyone will be meeting him for the first time in India - since he was born. The person most excited - not that others are not, but have to mention about my Dad (Ananth Reddi).

We are also happy that we will be joining Aarush and my parents and relatives in India. Very excited to go to India - nothing more happy than visiting home (Sweet home).

Missing you so much Aarush. Mamma and Papa love you so much :-)

8ight Months Complete

I completed Eight months this August and nearing to walk already. I am not sure, how many kids of my age walk at this age? But, I might be falling behind on that or might be a little ahead from the kids who are not crawling yet ;-)

One can look at my Pics on the link: 8th Month Pics

It was a busy month, I have been to lot of places - to name a few - Universal studios, Malibu Beach, Birthday Party (Sammu Akka's) and you can see the pics in my album.

The most interesting part during this month was about the pool, my Pappa & Mamma had bought me. I was so excited to get into the water - did not bother to look at anyone once I am into it (Pool). Do not forget to look at the videos on YouTube (Link provided on this Blog)

Seven on 7/7

Look at me, I completed 7 months on 7/7. Would you beleive that, neither I. It's already time for me to start crawling and trying to walk - I mean in the walker, of course. Now, I like having more of solid food like Cerelac, Rice Cereal or Gerbar Food (Vegetables or Fruits), rather than just milk. Forgot to mention, I like having Water melon the most.

Aarush is now 3 Months old

Aarush has been able to recognize me and especially his Mom (Pinky) since he was just a few days old, but now he may actually be able to show it. Aarush has begun to exhibit an obvious recognition of Mom and Dad

He will probably continue to smile at strangers, especially when they look him straight in the eye and coo or talk to him. But he's starting to sort out who's who in his life, and he definitely prefers me, or for the matter of fact, his Mom more than anyone else, and perhaps a few others.

Aarush may quiet down and make eye contact with Mom, or he may search for anyone of us in a room and move his arms in excitement or smile when he finds us.

Just can't belive that he has completed a Quarter of the year(so soon), look how fast he is growing. And we see him changing quite a bit every day for the past few days. You will be able to make out the difference for yourself, when you look at his pictures in the given links on his Blog.

Guys and Gals !!! You are most welcome to the site as followers and Aarush would feel so happy, when he see your comments on the site or even as his followers ;-).

Aarush @ Week 11

Look at me, how time flies ~~~~~ I've already completed eleven weeks in no time. My Mom and Dad can't believe that I have grown up and my presence makes their time pass by in a flash.

I Love being with them and they love spending all their time with me. I keep waiting for my Dad to be back from work or anywhere he goes, so that I can play with him. Nothing like being with Mom and not to mention that my Grandma :-). She always likes to be with me and she does stay around most of the time.

Need to go to sleep now....will continue to post more on by blog. Keep looking for the updates

Love you all
~(:-) Aarush

My First Month

My first month, so far was spent sleeping, having food, peeing and pooing ~(;-)....and repeating the same thing most of the time again and again in the first few weeks of the month.

But, in the later part of the month, I started to look around. And tried to recognize people. I am able to recognize my Mom for sure, as I was very close to her through out the journey of my birth and Papa at time when he interacts with me. I wonder, at so young age I can feel the touch of my Mommy? Ummhu...
