Sakkti Velan discovers his shadow.

I discovered a friend today. He follows me no matter what I do, and I spin and spin around trying to look at him……

And Cinnama Loshini, just to let you know that I can now imitate the sound of an elephant trumpeting…..

The World ROCKS for the 'King' of the Brood

Lately I’ve discovered that if I walk without direction and shake my head from the left to the right continously while I do this- the world around me rocks!

Yeah!!

I love this game! * shake….shake….*

*************************************************
Just in case everyone hasn’t figured it out by now- I’m the only boy baby on my father’s side - I’ve got four other cousins – who coincidently adore me –

But I think Mina Pathi is the one having the biggest cultural shock- me being her first grandson and all - I’m climbing the stairs and the gates like none other- and when I speak- I shout – and I think it’s a pretty manly shout if I may say so myself –

Arrgghhhhh….argghhhhhhh……argghhhh……..

Of murukkus, lollypops, cats, chicken and bears

At 13 months, I’m 80 cm and 9.5 kg. I love to play catch, and go everywhere in the house- walking and running.

I love the taste of murukku- and I know exactly how to show it’s location to anyone who is kind enough to get it from me. No Amma, not achimurukku or Farley Rusk * yuck*….I WANT MURUKKU!!! Yes…thank you …… (at this point, I faithfully remove the pacifier from my mouth with my left hand, grab the murukku with my right hand and run really far away…….in case someone tries to take the murukku back!)

I also enjoy eating lollypops. I grabbed my first lollypop from Valermadi, and ever since then, everyone- that is Tata, Ammama and Nithi Mama especially – always seem to have a lollypop handy whenever I go to visit them.

I love the cats and chickens at the back of my house- and I find endless entertainment in watching them whenever I have my breakfast, LUNCH AND DINEER. In fact, Amma says that right now, I don’t even want to watch television while eating- I only need my friends the chicken and the cats.

And Bear- well Bear is my friend- whom I try to feed whenever Amma gives me a bowl and spoon to play with. And also the one whom I try to share my pacifier with….hehehe….
