18th &19th month summary
Hey Baby,
Sorry for not being able to document your 18th month. I just kept thinking of doing it one day after the other and before I knew you had turned 19 months. You are growing soo fast that sometimes I fear that you might wake up taller after a nap.......kidding!!
I am absolutely in love with this age. Though I do miss my baby sometimes but it's so much more interactive now. Not that we are having hearty conversations but we are bonding on a different level all together and it's soo much fun.
All you should know that you are an absolute bliss. Our winter sun and summer breeze. Mommy and daddy have no idea of what they would have done without you missy...........
Love,
Mommy:)
My little poser you have started to look at the camera when mommy says "smile" and if you are in the right mood I even get a cheesy smile.
Not in the below one though!!
The month of April wasn't too kind on us weather wise and we were literally house arrested because it kept pouring. Whenever we had a little break from the rain we would just run to the shopping centre and mahi would enjoy her rides and the open spaces to run around.
We have a peppa pig ride in the mall and as much as you love peppa the very sight of it gets you excited,but when you are on it your joys have no bounds. You would go screaming on the top of your voice "PAAPI" and keep laughing....
It's fall already and its getting chiller by the day (look at the fall colors just outside our house) ....
Mahi and Emma are bonding just like how I always imagined so both mommies decided to take their babies on a walk the other day,only that I was pushing an empty stroller.......
And then we decided to park our strollers to watch the birds!!!
This is the best part about being a mommy.... you get to enjoy the little things in life along with your kid. When else would the sight of birds make me smile.
Me being a mountain girl have always loved winters and the winter wear and the hot beverages and snow and everything related to it. We don't have snow in Sydney but the winters are chill. I can't wait for Mahi to grow a little bigger so we can drive to the Snowy mountains and build our snowman together,but for now lets just enjoy our new winter jammies!! Wish they did these in my size as well.
EATING:- You love food! and can totally eat spicy stuff. Still on your three meals and snack plan,but we have added one fruit snack before you go down for your afternoon nap,a toast with nutella after your breakfast as your reward and a sweet corn cob while you watch TV....You are still not into drinking milk but guess what you gulp down in seconds.....BABYCCINO,that's right!! whenever we go the mall mommy has her coffee and you get one of those babyccinos which are supposed to be just froth but mommy pays a little extra and they add milk and caramel to it.You are so aware of where we get our coffee from that today while we passed by the cafe you went screaming" Capi" " Capi".......you have got quite a memory up there missy!!
SLEEPING:- You have been taking only one nap during the day and I am afraid it's getting shorter by the day. From two hours it has come down to being only an hour and today you woke up all fresh in just half an hour. I hope its just this one time. Your nap is very precious to mama!!
At night you still wake up atleast five times for a feed...sob! sob!Mommy needs one night of uninterrupted sleep. I guess its too much to ask....
PERSONALITY :- Eighteen months really built up your little personality and I can see it so clearly. Will start from the best things that I like to the lesser nice... You are tiny but you have grace (not something that I expected from the little you). You are just so careful and would do everything so elegantly. You hate the idea of being dirty and to make you have a small tub of yougurt calls for half box of tissues because you would keep pointing and saying "keen keen" unitl its cleaned.
You never throw a tantrum too bad. You might fuss for something just for about 4sec and that's about it.
You love to make people laugh and repeat stuff if you think it's making others happy.....
Still a very happy kid and very easy going.You love the company of other kids and get so excited around them.
* You love yogurt sweet corn and fish
* You absolutely love your ice cream" Ameeya" and donuts "dona".
* You Love the movie Frozen and it plays in our house everyday while and till we are eating our meals.
* You love going out and call it "umi umi".
* You love your baby Emma and drag her around the whole house.
*Love your bath sessions and bubbles.
*Babyccinos
* You love to see dad home and so happy around him.
* Changing diapers
* Drinking milk
* Sitting in the stroller for too long
MILESTONES:-

THINGS I WANT TO REMEMBER
That could take a while.....
* You say " OH! DEAR" when something goes wrong and its just the cutest
* You bow and fold your hands in greeting when ever you see kalyan's mom. Yes I taught you that but its only her who gets it.
* If you drop something you put our hands on the cheeks and keep saying "Oh nooo" " Oh nooo"
* As soon as you wake up you keep looking for daddy and keep calling out " papa". Mommy gets a kiss and a "mooning"too.
* You remember some of the dialogues of the movie "Frozen" The other day we played Frozen while I fed you lunch and Princess Else goes " What's this smelling so nice? and before Ana replied you went " Choci" and giggled like they did in the movie... You amaze me in your own ways sister.
* You always wake up smiling may it be in the morning or afternoon.

Easter fun Brisbane
Like always our family get together has a scheduled series of events planned much in advance so that we don't just laze around in our PJs chatting and watching movies. This time with having parents around we wanted to do a couple of things that were put on hold for quite some time, like a family photo shoot and a religious ceremony.
Our niece had her Prom this year and we were instructed by her to be in Brisbane during that time around. She had picked a gorgeous black gown and I lack in words to describe how beautiful she looked.
On one of the days we went for a picnic in the New farm park and had an Easter egg hunt with mahi. She had fun picking up the eggs, putting in her basket and then tossing them over.
Our niece had her Prom this year and we were instructed by her to be in Brisbane during that time around. She had picked a gorgeous black gown and I lack in words to describe how beautiful she looked.
We managed to take a few shots before they left for the Big night.
These two looked super cute and while Sai was dressed to kill, Sam must have broken a few hearts that night for sure......the two were so ready to walk the red carpet.
The day after that we had our professional family shoot but I would like to keep an entire separate blog for that. Apparently there are so many pictures that it will surely cut down on the words in the post.
We then started preparing for the religious ceremony which was being conducted for the peace and prosperity of the family. A night before we made sure that everything was clean and shifted all living room furniture to the garage to make enough space .While we were at it we opened the garage door and enjoyed some cool breeze and let mahi entertain us with her Acapella moves(her new fave song)and the hilarious way she bows and greets kalyan's mom with a "Namaste"everytime she see her.
This girl is way too funny and once she knows its funny she hits the repeat button in her system and continues to do it.What's strange is that it gives us a good laugh every single time.
We all dressed in our traditional outfits the next morning and sat for the ceremony. Thankfully mahi was asleep and I could attend to the most important part uninterrupted where the priest narrates these very interesting stories with great lessons and moral values.
I really hope that we, as parents are able to inculcate some right values in you mahi.Showing you a path of righteousness and humanity. I hope we set good examples for you and help you be a good human being.
My little Indian princess!!
After a wonderful day spent close to spirituality and our culture we started planning for the next to do in the list which was, a day trip to Gold Coast!!
We had kalyan and bujji down with fever and we almost cancelled the trip, but after a good rest they both felt better on the day we had to leave and we all were on the wheels hitting the road in no time. It was just an hours drive so mahi did quite well too.
After a nice lunch we explored quite a bit and were ready to hit the beach but these two didn't feel too good so we dropped the idea. On top of that our lill missy was due her nap time and had cranky pants on.
We decided to just check on this fun photo studio which does different themes and we had wanted to get a family Victorian theme ever since we saw one of my friends pictures. Luckily there wasn't much waiting and they got us all dressed.... We had such a lovely time going back in time and getting to feel that era......
On one of the days we went for a picnic in the New farm park and had an Easter egg hunt with mahi. She had fun picking up the eggs, putting in her basket and then tossing them over.
Before we even knew Easter break was over and it was time to go back home!!
By the way Mahi, you did so well on the flight this time and dozed off both the times after a few minutes of take off. Keeping my fingers crossed for the upcoming BIG one!!

One and half year birthday!!
We decided to celebrate mahi's one and a half year birthday outdoors and went on a family picnic to this beautiful New farm park in Brisbane.
With her new found love for this pig called "Peppa Pig"(some cartoon character on the TV) aunt Shubha had to get her a Peppa pig cake and so she did.
While Uncle Ram went specially to fetch special 1 & 8 numbered candles for her 18th month ( God!! the amount of thought involved). I will continue to pen down all these small little details until you are big enough to observe and be thankful for.
Your excitement had no bounds when you saw your fave "PAAAPI" (yeah that's what you call it) Also, by now you have witnessed so many birthdays that you are pretty much aware what to sing when you have candles on a cake and you went on and on singing " Haaappppy" " Happpy" ( that's exactly what you are saying in the below picture).
After blowing the candles and having a taste of your cake you ran a marathon and while you had so many people running behind you I managed to get some pretty awesome shots.

I had a picture sitting on the tree when I was little and I was trying to replicate it. Now will have to dig into all the old photos when I go home to find the one.Hoping it to still be there though.
Finally somebody got tired and we all got a breather.
Sad that mahi's aunt Mimi and Uncle Jaiku (that's what she calls them) couldn't join us because they had to go to work but guess what do they get her in the evening, a peppa pig mealtime set.
Sad that I was in the washroom when they left this for her and couldn't catch the moment but seriously Mahi's day was completely made while she got to eat her peppa pig cake in her peppa bowl with the peppa spoon...... what more could she have wished for. You are being raised with a lot of love around. So grateful to God!!
