Our servant lady Malika calls me Appu and shathi calls me salam, Bujji. I feel may be she is not able to pronounce my name she calls me salam.

Daily Routine When I was 5 mths old

Daily routine

I keep playing in the bed and on the floor from morning to night in between I take power naps . When I wake up in the morning there always mom, Ammachi next to me. Sometimes I sleep till 8:00 that is very rare,  normally I wake up at 6:45 to 7:00 . Kochamma comes to wish me good morning she calls me ponukutta I love to hear the way she calls me. She drinks her glass of lime juice next to me and I take this time to play with her. Morning is filled with kochamma’s kiss and hugs which I love so much. After sometime appachan walks to my room asking whether I drank milk and I lift up my hands he carry’s me for sometime. Now it is around 8:00 and all are busy leaving for work. I go out with mom to say goodbye to kochamma and Appachan. Sometimes I take a power nap or have some more milk and keep playing. 9:00 is my breakfast time and I have rice porridge or ragi. I love it so much I finish it up fully. First I lie down to start with then I roll back , poor mom she is on her knees to feed me. 

After my breakfast I take a small sleep and when I wake up I take my bath. Oil is gently massaged on my body then I get to take bath in 2 full buckets of water. I love taking bath. In between I take opportunity to drink water but ammachi keeps watching me so it is really difficult.

After my bath I keep playing with mom she keeps teaching me 1 to 5 , ABC and what not but I am too young for all this stuft.  My favourite toy is cardboard boxes I love them , mom and Ammachi has seen my liking so they give new boxes to play. I love to bite things seeing this mom gave me a teeter I played with it for 1 hour then  I lost interest in it.

12:00 my lunch is ready , it is some veg soup.  I finish it up quickly as I am not found of vegetables. 1:30 to 4:00 is my sleeping time. Ammachi and myself take a short afternoon nap. I always love to sleep next to ammachi. I put my head on ammachi’s palm as it soft like a bed then I sleep of.

5:00 p.m is my evening snack time. Mom keeps munching something but gives me apple , banana. She tells me it is healthy. Mom takes me out to the garden where I lie down. Here I can hear the birds twitter, the sound of children’s playing. One day when I grow up I would love to play . By 6:30 once again I take my bath and I am back to house . Here I keep playing , exercising waiting when my kochmma will be back. It is around 8:00 kochamma is back from work and she calls me ponukutta and I keep jumping up. At 10:00  I am in my bed and I try to sleep with Ammachi.

5 months old

I am now 5 months old and now I am very excited in having solid food. The doctor told my mom to visit him by 25^th June as my pneumonia immunization was  due by then. Today is june 25^th I heard my mom ask for an appointment with the doctor for the injection. Doc told my mom to come by 6:30 as there might be a rush . It is already 5:30 and my mom is dressed up but  she has not dressed me up. I am waiting when she will dress me up. She quickly came took out my pink dress changed my diaper and we were ready to go. My kochuman and ammachi was also ready by then to go with me. My Ammachi was carrying me and we sat in the back seat of the car.

I always love to travel and Ammachi took me in her hands . I was sightseeing all my way to the doctor’s clinic. When we reached there ,was  no one was there. I felt lucky as I was the first patient to visit the doctor. Ammachi asked my ponnimani “ are you scared for the doctors injection” . At first I could not follow what she was telling when the doctor arrived and he took out the injection then only I realized why ammachi was asking me whether I was scared. The doctor had arrived only by 7:00 and there were other children out there. I was the youngest among them.

My mom asked the doctor “ what can Allen take for his diet ?”. Doctor immediately told mom about my diet.
