Banana Demolition

Steps:

Joyfully grab banana

Do not eat the tips

Bite through the skin to get to the mushy inside

Create a gooey mess on your banana t-shirt

Mommy & I

November, 2008 - I got a cold, cough, runny nose and chest congestion this month. Winter has started in earnest and the ground is covered in snow. Inside the apartment the temperature and humidity keeps fluctuating esp. at night and I have trouble adjusting.
But I always have mommy to look after me. But I understand that is going to change soon, as the hunt is on for a baby sitter...

Mommy and I

In the morning

after breakfast

And off for some shopping

Fun Videos

Somebody stuck some sticky tape on my fingers (yet again)



I do some moon crawling...



Eating pear and roaming around in circles.



Eating orange slice, and converting it into art form

From Meloncholy to Merry in 3 Seconds

The fastest baby around...

Its a sad sad sad world

And everybody is against little Manyu

But I can sense things improving behind my ear...

Oh yes... its fun times!

Birthday Gifts and Seema

Nov 8 - I had a hard time convincing people to let me open birthday gifts and read the cards.

Seema aunty was adamant

I expertly pleaded by case

Until she saw my point of view and opened gifts

Mommy also helped.

Playing at Gymboree

Oni wants to see me interact with other kids, so here are some videos of Saturday morning at Gymboree.

This felt too much like work, so I absconded for the second half.

My favourite part - the parachute - came out and I rallied the troops to jump on board.

Toys and bells.

Bubbles!!



Finally the parachute games...



My head has been hardened with numerous wall bumps and mommy elbows, so when I hit the kid in the end he started to cry.... then I decided to cry too out of pity for him.

My favouritest event - running around squealing under the carpet... Enjoy Oni!

First Black President

The US got a first African-American president on November 4, and in several years we will be wondering where we were upto on this historic day...

I was busy drawing mommy's attention to the fact that someone had lit the cake on fire.

It was a beautiful fall day outside

No leaves, but the ducks were out in force

I had got a nice birthday truck from Swetha aunty and Krishna uncle and was busy carting away supplies.
