Beginning to talk …

Vandy — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 03:16:56 +0000

From last few days I have been putting up songs for Sam from ‘youtube’ and he had been listening and enjoying each one of them …. Last night I just pretended to ask him, his choice of song …. “which song do you want to listen from youtube?”

Sam got alert by the question. I asked once again “which song from youtube?” .. and he said. “Aahun mahun mahun….”!!!!!!! It’s the first song which I showed him on the youtube and we have been listening to it everyday… Well, this is the first time when he responded verbally to something … and I know it’s just the beginning!

Aahun aahun …

day care …..

The most difficult time got over before I could even realize it…. I was too apprehensive of taking sam to the school with me and putting him in a day care there, reasons were many ….. The distance was 140 km per day (for 10 consecutive days)…. travel was by a car where in 6 other people were sitting…. sam would be practically on his own for 8 hrs …..

But the only thing which compelled me to make up my mind was that the day-care was in the same building and I could visit him every 1 hr (or whenever needed) … the thought of me being around him made me feel at ease and then to matters easier for me, the staff was very supportive and the environment was quite conducive ….

He sustained the test of courage and strength! “My boy strongest” is all I can say … He made me feel happy and proud about my decision of going back to work again … Thank you for being such a great support!

YOU R ‘ONE’ .. MY SON!

Finally, the day which every parent and kid desperately waits for, is here … it’s sam’s first birthday and I couldn’t sleep whole night out of excitement .. i know a couple of years later, the excitement would be more on his side, (not lesser on mine though) … but of course, this one is the most special !!!!!!!!!

yesterday, he stood on his own for the first time … and then walked across from room to the other … he’s quite sure about attaining all the milestones within the first year! all i need to ensure is a conducive environment for his upbringing, so that he grows into a confident and smart young boy

there’s a small party in the evening.. hoping to make it the most memorable of all his days spent with us… my little one is now ‘one’ … and all I can say is you r truly the life’s biggest and greatest blessing on us!!! God bless you with a healthy and enjoyable life… and may God bless us with your smile all throughout this coming year ………..

Let’s play peek-a-boo!

Sam’s newest activity is to hide behind the curtain and do a peek-a-boo! when called by his name So today I got to capture this fun-time with him….. he was in full swing and carried it on for another 10 minutes …. it was tiresome for me to shoot that, i don’t know how he managed to do it 100 times without feeling the heat!

Here he comes!

Finally, I could shoot the video of Sam taking those little steps … It was awesome seeing him smile and run towards me. He walked good 10 steps for the first time and I was lucky enough to have his daddy around at the same time, with the camera! Watch him and I bet he will leave you asking for more

Climbing High!

Vandy — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 09:14:36 +0000

Sam went out running after his dad while he was going to office …… at the front door, his attention was captured by the stair-case going to first floor…. He began climbing .. one step after the other and wow! he reached the there on first floor without getting scared… after he climbed 12 steps and was almost there, I asked my friend to get the camera and capture the moment… So we could get the last few moments of action….. in between, he’s looking back trying to track the voice coming from down-stairs…. after reaching the top, he felt proud and……. tired!

It was an amazing feat for an 11 months old baby! Kudos to you son

Sam takes his first baby steps!

Finally achieved the greatest milestone !!! Sam walked without support today. I had been making him walk holding his hands from last 1 week… today when he was standing (with support) on the bed-side, I went behind him and called him… he turned back and left his hands one after the other and walked 4-5 steps towards me !!!!

ahhh.. i felt so good… and he was smiling all the way, probably on his own achievement.

I have realised that its all about overcoming your fears and taking that first little step in whatever you do.. and then there is no looking back ! I was hoping that he would be walking around his first b’day and yes! his b’day is around the corner I just want to make a video of him taking those steps and share it with you all …

11 months over!

Vandy — Sun, 06 Jun 2010 08:59:44 +0000

As Sam completes 11 months, plans to celebrate his first birthday are in full swing Besides this another planning is taking shape… I will be going back to work very soon and so want to get into a routine sooner than later. I am putting Sam to bed at 10 so that he can wake up at 7 .. lets see how fruitful this whole exercise proves to be. I just dont want to feel guilty for waking him up from deep sleep … so its better that both of us jump on to the bed early so that we can become early risers and enjoy our day!

He’s been going to park to ‘play’ with his ‘friends’ … its wonderful to see him liking the company of small kids and playing with them. I am sure it wont be too difficult for him to adjust in the day-care as well… (fingers crossed!) He has learned to say ‘bye-bye’ …. its so sweet to see him wave his hand to every little thing, be it a bird, a tree or a dog… No teeth so far! still waiting to see those bunny teeth popping out

Sam @ 10 months

Vandy — Fri, 07 May 2010 06:05:55 +0000

at 10 months he is turning to be an independent little thing… doesn’t liked to be picked up/being on bed/sofa/walker …. loves to move around on his own…. plays with anything that comes in his way be it an insect or wrapper or a bottle! what a fun to watch him ….. and u call his name and he would come running to u….

Time to decide…

Vandy — Thu, 29 Apr 2010 06:10:33 +0000

Now that Sam is almost 10 months, I am looking for a suitable place for both of us … I seriously have to go out and work but not on the cost of my love, Sam… He needs to be settled down at a comfortable place first, so that I can devote time and energy to my second love- ‘being in school’ … If things work according to the plan, I might join from august and by that time Sam will be 13 months (already 1 year, Big Boy!!! ) and I am hoping that the school has an in-house day-care which will make it even better, my heart will be at peace considering the fact that Sam is around,…. atleast I will not feel guilty of leaving him! lets see how it goes …. fingers crossed!
