we often use the petname "Chuttu" to call him inspite of his real name sachidanand.Feeding him now a days is a problem..and coz I have already made proper timings for his food,sleeping,bathing etc. I dont feel much difficulty as usually mothers had.At the proper time he automatically feel hunger,sleepy etc..Now a days his greatest fascination is water...it is very difficult to talk him from water after his bath.He will cry saying "Billaa"(for vellam means water in our language).he used to play in our courtyard,and he dislikes staying inside the house or playing inside the house.He likes travelling as usual babies like.Yesterday only I saw a new teeth coming .He is 10.5 kg .It is normal for a 15 month old baby.He has gained half akilo in 4 months.It is usual and from here onwards weight gain will be less because babies will be interested in playing so intake of food is very much less.Also lot of energy will be used for running,playing etc. I am particular in giving h

Vocabulary

Chuttu has improved his vocabulary...he added many words to his dictionary..The newly added words include.. bat,appuppa,star,moon,bus,bike,car,chetta,chechi,bella(for water), He will watch a person and will call him chetta,chechi,appupaa...accordingly..We had a quick madras trip recently.. We went by train and chuttu enjoyed the journey very much...he slept well,ate well... and was very happy.WE(me and chuttu) occupied the Side berth .During the journey to madras chuttu got a friend of his age...a cute little one... Now he is 17 months old and he can run fast,he will play with his toys,sometimes play with me and sometimes alone. Sometimes he will come near me and start saying mmeee mmee.....so cute.In the meantime we also went to palani for his hair cut..I will soon include his MOtta photos also(toture photos).Now he will say his name when we ask him.:)
