First of all, let me apologize to my dear readers (I assume you are out there) for the gap...
It's not that Kup has become uninspiring; quite in fact the opposite,but there is so much less time
to put it all down. I am trying my best at least to catch up with her through photos and videos,
promising myself to write the corresponding posts soon.
Meanwhile quite a lot has happened in the Kup household. Kup for one has made her grand entree
into the world of sounds. Nothing official, and nothing quite distinct for us to make out a word ,
but still that little bell-like voice has appeared, much cherished and is here to stay. I was hoping for
a ma-ma, SN of course has two contenders: da-da and pa-pa. But true to nature, Kup has beaten us
both and is insisting on ya-ya and ja-ja and an occassional french "r" which she gurgles perfectly. Hence
her compliments and complaints have become more vocal.
Okay okay stop right there..
This is Miss TJ aka Thankamma; you guys know me as Kupleri or rather Kup. Though it's kind of
diminutive, I like the name.It is smart and sweet. Like me.Though I am usually acting in the role of centre player, while my mom blogs about me, today I am making an exception. Even the above post has been sitting there for a while. Seems I have to rescue mummy's blog while it is still alive.
So where do I start? I think mom has got everything till last month pretty much covered. Did she tell you she went for a movie without ME? Leaving me all
alone...Well, Papa was there of course, but still its the first time she has been
separated from me in almost 5 months. Which reminds me that I turn exactly
9 months old today. It does not count that papa and me had a fabulous time together that day.
Check out this picture of us cooking together. Mom made the
mistake of clicking that picture and posting it on her fb page. Now all her
friends think papa is doing all the cooking at our place. Trust him to squeeze it for all it is worth...but then he never checks fb unless mom shows him something especially interesting. That movie she went to turned out
to be a block buster.So at least her time was not wasted. I heard her telling papa it was about vampires.
Then he told her not to mention the subject around me again till I was much older (about 18??!!) Just wait
till I get to play groups. We' ll discuss things he never even hears about. At least mom has the sense to expect the worst from me...Wonder where she gets that suspicious streak from? I heard her tell papa how
as a child she almost got lost at the airport and appacha and ammachi had to bodily search the airline and airport..and there was the time Aunt Jo practised her spellings on the freshly wall papered living room...
And there was the time she told everyone her grandpa was not home when somebody important came home, causing everyone to think he was avoiding them.She had a hard time living that one down. I think I
heard somebody mention that incident even last year this time.
Not that papa dear was a complete angel...Only thing is he was so angelic looking that no one could stay mad at him for long. He was the kid who stuck buttons in his nose.And who tried to bury his school bag
in the coconut patch. Apparently being four times consecutive winner of best smile contest does help you getting out of trouble. Did I mention I have a killer smile? Check it out for yourselves. Now all I need is some teeth and I could model for toothpaste ads.
So I was updating you on last month. These days I almost exclusively ride on papa's shoulders. This way
I have a great view of what is going on around me. Unlike mom,he rarely puts me down and never scolds
me if I pull his hair. Mummy on the other hand never lets me pull her hair, though it is so much longer than
papa's. However she combs my hair every day and I have heard her mutter to herself she is planning to
tie it back soon. As if I would let her...
Another complaint bout me is the fact that these days, I show less interest in store-bought toys. Instead I
prefer things like little cups, spoons and towels. And I love to play with papa's Rubik's cube.Do you think
it will be too much of a shock for him if I solve it in one day? After all he keeps saying to always expect
the unexpected.
And yes, one more thing I was saving for last. Last day, when mom was showing ammachi our advents
kranz (xmas wreath)I decided to stand up just like that on my own. So when they turned back, there I
standing, looking proudly at my granny through skype. Since it was only forenoon, mom had to wait 8
entire hours before papa could see it for himself. But the downside to this is now I started standing up
the whole time. But my balance is not the best and because it is so cold here, they keep my little feet
wrapped up warmly.All of this causes me to topple over. But though this is normal, mom can't bear to
see me fall and hence makes me wear 2 caps to cushion the fall. And I hate anything on my head unless
there is imminent danger of freezing.Especially not indoors. But that is one battle mom has no intention
of losing. So it's either wearing the gear or stay in my crib while she goes cooking in the kitchen. Now
that is something I absolutely cannot permit. I hate her be in the kitchen without me.
Now I think this enough for this blog to tide over the situation. Meanwhile
xmas time has come and things are quite lively and colorful here. But that
requires a post to itself so i will leave it to mom when she comes out of
hibernation. See you people soon.Promise. Take care...
