Hi everybody

Adithya is growing and more new words to his dictionary

He says Aapu for Apple, mummy, haki for pati, appa,gagi for daddy,nanny for thanni, oooeee to go out

uggha for yenga (where), maai for bye,..

His second diwali was great and fun with periappa and misha, he was scared of cracker sound but enjoyed watching flower pots, chakra and sparklers. He is walking now rather running..and dizzy dazzing all the way.....he keeps us in a high tension (topple or hit).He is able to reach things on dining table, showcase,kitchen rack (anything kept at the corner). He understands whatever we say and has become adamant, he cries if he wants something or if we snatch things from him. He screams and shouts to get his way out.

Almost most kids somehow learn this technic of getting things done by crying or shouting or screaming. If adithya hears some loud sound he covers his ears with his hands. His favourites are crow and dog, everytime he comes out he keeps calling for the crow (says ka ka ka ) and am sure hearing the way he calls, the crows would fear and fly away from him. He closes his eyes with his hands when we say "peekaboo" and also when he plays with his peekaboo toy.

Adithya knows verywell when his dad is getting ready to go to office, the moment his dad is out with the helmet adithya also follows him (ofcourse his mother carrying him) and when dad starts his bike adithya wants to sit behind him and have a small ride. Adithya loves to play and enjoys the slide, two of us hold his hands.He loves hot and spicy food and enjoys curd rice (most kids like it), basically he likes rice or tiffin items rather than his cerelac and wants to eat everything even if its not meant for him. He likes to read books , the small book with pictures of  animals or vegetables, fruits. He takes the book, turns pages and keeps reading himself (in his own language). He knows to identify tiger and apple in his book.

Few months back i used to tell him there is a "boomboomkaara" (monster man) and scare him and now he is not very scared and in fact tells me how that monster man shouts.

Sometimes i wonder how my son who is only 1 yr and 2 months has few typical boyish characters (unlike a  girl child who would play with toys and imitate her mother) how does a child develop such things, nobody teaches them neither they are big enough to understand such things, but when u have two kids one male and a female of the same age in the same room, u can really see how they behave differently atleast for a short period of time..

well i dont know what new things my son is learning but am learning a lot more looking at the way he is growing. MOTHERHOOD IS MORE THAN A  PHD ............

For water  --- Mum mum

sukanya ----- Kgishkinna

Cooker-------Ikghaaa

Appa --------Pa pa

Idli -----------Igghi

Phone-------ooooooo

yenga------uggha

Piggy/doggie-------igghi

Hot/choodu----------oooooo

Hello everybody my name is sukanya and am going to tell u abt my son Adithya who just completed 1yr.

He is adorable and cute and sometimes very annoying, its strange to see kids how they learn their mother tongue. By 10th month my son was able to understand what we were saying and was trying to communicate with us in his own way. By 12 months my son is able to understand and talk (in his language) so many things, i wonder how quickly they grasp and learn .

He is trying to walk on his own, he has started taking few steps trying to balance himself and then goes down on his knees, he does a weird thing, he walks on his knees sometimes..very strange. My son has the habit of sucking his middle two fingers (left hand) and so he finds it easy to suck and simultaneously move around on his knees.

He likes to play with his toys, when the toy is at a little distance he calls it by saying "ba ba ba" waving his hands.Nobody taught him this but strange he knew thats the way u call somebody to ur side. Every day my MIL places little rice for the crows and she takes adithya along while doing so, now everytime he sees rice he calls for the crow by saying "akaa ka ka akaa" (any time of the day). My son loves music (any kind of music) , ad music, TV serial title songs(his favourite), film song very few , ring tones and classical sometimes. He likes kids, he is very excited to see kids run and play around him.

The first thing that he learnt at the age of 6 months was the cooker whistle,he was scared of the whistle not any more. He was never really scared of anything, even in his fear there was a curiosity to c and know what was happening around, though he would hold me tight he would still want me to take him close to the sound he heard of or the thing he wanted to c. When we scold him he just laughs and sometimes just avoids us.

Gosh this is never ending i can just go on writing about his tricks, plays, etc . I just wonder how the kid manages to spend time with whatever is around and never gets bored or tired, he is always filled with new pranks, new tricks, he finds such things exciting around him, we just cannot even think of , he finds so much fun and excitement while playing with a cup, spoon,plate.

This stage between 1 year to 4 years of every child is the most wonderful experience. One can really see nature's gift and god's creation. The child makes u forget that there is a world around u, for the mother  atleast for me my son has become my world, i dont know what is happening around me , whomever i meet i only talk about my son, always am thinking about him his life, his future...................DOES THIS REALLY HAPPEN TO EVERY MOTHER or i can only say i have become like this and to a certain extent i have no regrets.
