niyor: 23 months

Happy 23 months Lil' Guy! It's the 1st of March already and I cannot believe how fast you are growing and turning into a young boy....at times it feels like I've known you for ages....yet there are times I feel the last 23 months have just zoomed past my eyes in supersonic speed! As days go by I'm having a really hard time documenting all of your feats and achievements.....in your last monthly post(22 months) I forgot to mention about the time(during January 2008) you'd hoard your favorite toys of the day to bed at night!Or the way you'd say "Uh oh" when things fell!And your newly acquired magic tricks wherein you'd hide one or two of your favorite cars behind your back and gleefully remark "may....eeek" (magic!)....and so many other things which I'm having a hard time recalling right now!The past month has been full of new experiences and exciting moments......looking back at the month gone by... in pics.........

We enjoyed more than a light shower of snow the past week.....and this time you went out and made a snowman with your playmates from school...

Temperatures are rising with each passing day which means that spring is just around the corner and soon we'll be playing outside in the parks amidst pretty flowers and greenery!

Lil' acrobat!

Niyor the train builder.....you never cease to amaze Mama and Deta!

And that's your favorite ride in the world!

"Mix, shake and cook!"
Cooking with Mama....this past month you've been cooking a lot.....mostly on the floor (which needs a mop after every meal you cook!)! It's absolute fun being Mama's lil' kitchen help....who cares about the mess thereafter!!(Well....I do care......but then there's no fun without a lil' mess right Lil' Guy?!)

"Uh oh....more food on the floor!"

"beans anyone?!"
Serious cooking happening in this house......master chef in town!

You became an overnight pro at eating burgers... I just stared in amazement while on your first (and so far last!) trip to a fast food joint when you held burger in one hand and a fry in the other and munched on as though you've been eating such food all your life!A couple of days later(during random craft time with Deta), Deta and I just sighed in utter disbelief when we saw you roll a piece of paper into a long shape and call it sausage and fold another paper into a flat shape and call it burger!!You went on pretending to eat both, one in each hand!Since then Mama has made you (one too!) many healthy burger meals and for the time being you have outgrown your like for burgers!

Fruit of the month!

shoe fetish lives on!

"Check out my pretty footwear!"

going shopping again.....don't miss the wallet!

"Hey woman, stop clicking! I'm working here"

trying your hand at painting.......

first time watching cricket....with the guys! (at mei and bapi's place)

contemplating.......

the love story with your favorite uncle continues.....to such an end that you let only him assist you brush your teeth on two consecutive days refusing Mama/Deta the honour!And you even took him to bed one night.... as though he were your favorite brown bear!

brushing your teeth with Vithu!

new shoes

lil' complainer! you like to report every little "ouch" and bump to Mama and Deta.....the "pain" disappears once we kiss the ouchies away!

cooking your favourite red car......cooking ruled your list of favorite things to do this past month....you like to cook puzzle pieces, tiny cars, big cars, balls, plastic letters and the list goes on and on.......
