tintin's dadai is babysitting him today as no ahya turns up! slept well in the morning...but when he got up, out of curiosity, touched the hot pressure cooker!!! screamed as nanai rushed to his rescue...whew, it is no child's play to man a child ;)

my baby is up since 430 hours!!! efforts to put him back to sleep failed so we both were up since then. anyways, he is without a baby-sitter today...so dadai is doing part-time babysitting. i had been to sanand and went home to attend to him, fed him his veg-soup and fruit juice, and even as i tried to put him to sleep, he was rolling all over me..finally i realised "he had PEED on my hair!" and was smiling. anyways, managed to put him to sleep and ruch back to work.

i mimic animals...and tin loves it. he loves lion's roar, goat's beat and the hen's coo the best...he copies me too! and then laughs.

tintin pooped in his pool!!! yeeks poor guy was sitting in it and continued playing. thank god i reached there just in time to take him out of it to give a bath yet again! he had no issues with anything though :)

babysitting tintin can be scary at times..on saturday, he hurt himself AGAIN ...he was trying to stand up holding the cot. even as his nanai was there by his side, he managed to silp and hurt his upper lip on the side of the cot...gosh..he bled but nanai took charge of the situation, made him drink chilled water and the bleeding stopped. by the time i reached home, my little brat was up to his pranks again!
nanai calls tintin Mr Inge...tintin makes wierd noise and mummbles "inge" when he wants to draw other's attention, hence the name. :) so zombie is senior inge, tintin is junior inge ;)
yesterday, tintin had to be taken care of while i had to finish some work..so his nanai actually tied a rope to his leg and the other end to tintin's walker so that the poor guy remains well within one room! :)

something interesting i noticed this morning: i gave tintin a MARIE bisc, and one to zombie...while zom had finished his bit first, tintin went upto him and offered him his!!!! whew was touched

tintin was up since 4-4.30 am!!!! he was pretty restless, so i put him to sleep on his pram. but then he dnt sleep beyond 20 min...went for a stroll with me and zombie while his nana slept..overslept i mean. poor guy however, hurt his forehead at the same spot again!!! he was sitting and somehow just fell and hit his head on the floor...there was a big bump and i had a tough time to ensure it goes...iced it properly and put my little brat to sleep.

he fell off his walker this morning. i had put a bamboo to prevent him from going to the balcony, he struggled with his walker and then down he fell. cried but i had immediately picked him up so it was kinda okay. whew! boys will be boys.

tintin tries to blow bubbles by putting his mouth inside the water inthe pool!

tintin knows how to put self to sleep...when i put him to sleep by patting his back, he pats his head! :) has gone out for a stroll on his stroller with his nana

tintin got a new stroller-cum-pram. he is yet to see it. will see it once i go home. am too excited. last night, tintin entertained one and all at sajit uncle's place. he was damn sleepy (was up since 6.45 am and had slept for mere an hour during the day!!), yet he struggled to keep his eyelids open and have fun with the adults till midnight. whew. slept late but got up at 5.45 am this morning!!!!! Gawddd!

tintin got to taste pista icecream recently. infact his nana got one for him and one for zombie. tin was wondering why is this damn thing soooo cold! anyways,he made a wierd face and had about a spoonful of icecream. he is seldom sleeping during days since last three days ... reason : new ahyas handling him! waiting for rekha ben to recuperate from malaria and get back to him

tin has given mommie her first lesson in parenthood...never allow your BOY to handle ur handset. he did just that on saturday and for some service (i still am unable to fathom what it was), i was charged Rs 15!!!!

tintin had a GREAT FALL on sunday! poor guy is trying to stand up these days holding anything that comes by! so be it a sofa, or a "neelkamal" chair or even the cot or wall...so this sunday, he was trying to balance himself between the chair and the sofa when i heard a BIG THUD! as i rused to him, i heard him really scream out loud. i was almost dead! i just picked him up and checked if he was bleeding...fortunately he was not. but he had hurt his forehead and there was a GOOD BIG BUMP out there. tintin's nanai rushed to get ice to soothe him. except for a minor bruise (it isnt a cut) but the mark is quite prominent, the poor guy was safe. his rekha aunty has been unwell, hasnt been coming since last three days now and so quite understandably, tin;s mommie was almsot without bath and almost without brushing her teeth!!! yeeekss....she was baby-sitting all the time and was cleaning up a lot of mess to accomodate a new refrigerator and an AC ;). btw, tin entered into his 11th month on sunday (the same day he fell down :( ) is ok now.

tintin indeed means a lot. he rejuvinates me totally every evening. despite the fact that he wakes up in wee hours of the mornings, his smile makes my heart melt. YOU CAN NOT AFFORD TO MISS ME MOMMA.....that is what he seems to be saying always

pity pity pity..i have to leave my angel and come to work! :( he is such a sweetheart. usually he sleeps when i leave for work but at times when he wakes up, he is in of his best moods (after his power nap) and then it is difficult to leave him

it is difficult to sleep without ac these days (ac gave zero cooling!!!)...tin wakes up at 3.30 am and luckily sleeps back when comforted...tintin has learnt from his dadai (nana)...how to do a handshake? ;) so this is how it goes...hello mr tintin, how do you do? okay, bye....poor guy he is also taught how to do a "BYE"

tin woke up at 3.30 am!! on sunday. god, it was a mess. he was not feeling well or was too hungry...didnt want to be put down. had a tough time handling him. but then slept well with me during the day and seems perfect today. touchwood. we posed for some snaps this morning. to update them soon. he has found a new way of amusing himself...plays inside the pool, then comes out on his own and then wants to go in! he wriggles aroundt he house like a tadpole when he is put on the ground. not joking. he actually pushes himself on his tummy and comes to me :) fun watching him. zombie is quiet comfortable when tin does that..just that when tin takes to his walker, he actually chases zombie that scares the poor thing. forgot to mention...the duo share a poem together....zombie dada, zombie dada, where had you been? tintin dear, tintin dear, i had been playing..zombie dada, zombie dada, where had you been? tintin dear tintin dear, i had been sleeping....so on and so forth ;)

tintin reminds me of satyajit ray...he plays amid a pool of his toys while one of his toys (the drummer elephant) keeps playing in the background...ALWAYS!!! wonder how he manages it so well ;), by the way he has handicapped his elephant....taken off his hands and trunk! so the poor guy survives only on the battery to play
