tintin says he would fly to "medres" :)))

tintin accompanied us to paritosh's (ankita's hubby) birthday party at dev arc mall ... it was a disc...tintin was a little lost initially when the lights were off and just the lazers were on....but when tapan and nikita arrived, he seemed pretty fine. he enjoyed cake and loved the balloons that tapan gave him :)

later, he played around the dancing queens of our building .... fell down twice, came rushing to me...i kissed his palms which would cheer him up ;) LOBH HIM :)

with zombie, march 14, 2007!!! two days after he walked into our lives; mansi clicked this for us

found these two in my old handset
tintin posing before his "car" which offcourse, is taller than him, on 27th night
playing with zombie....
with pallavi..she had come over to baba's place on 27th night

the chotkedebo (squeeze) pose ;)


although it hasnt come out good, tintin could be seen dabbling with garba ;) check out the young man with his yellow crocs among the aunties :P

found this one in my old handset....:)




ojas clicked baba on his birthday i think in 2009!!!!! just found them in my old handset and hence, uploading them now :)

i had put the hot water tap on this morning for bath.(..generally, i keep asking tintin to keep out of it every morning so that he dsnt scald himself....)....this morning i noticed, he tried to feel the water on his hand a little to ensure if it was hot or cold~!!!! that was amazing...i smiled to myself as i saw him then turning to the cold water tap :) he is growing up and observing things i realise...

he got up this morning and the first thing he does is to ask me to sing ...ABCD!!!! i gladly obliged :)

--

last night he danced garba with other children of the building and he was super duper excited .... was so tired by the end of it that he just wanted to sleep....i dnt wait until the raas lest he hurts himself with the dandiyas

--

this is what i saw of tintin when i heard him call out to me in the morning after he woke up :)

---

i learnt to make paper boats from mom and made tintin some five-six of them ...we made them float in the bucket until tintin thought it was high time that the boats take a dip!!!! later i made some helicopters ...he took them to the bath and gave them a dip as well...so innocent he was...despite the fact the helicopters were in a mess, he picked up the shreds and told me maa--helicopter :) childhood is bliss ...

minutes before leaving for baba's place on sunday :) donning the fastrack look ;)

---

tintin caught cold....!!!! although we both were about to sleep on saturday night, ojas took us for a ride...tintin was wearing sleeveless t-shirt and shorts and that wasnt enf for sure!!! on sunday, i realised he was sneezing almost continuously....spent the day at baba's place on sunday, he grabbed a handfull of orange parle candies and didnt part with them ;) had some there while baba managed to take two from his fist :) yet, tintin managed to bring home two...that was his achievement ;) last night i asked tintin to scold baba and he promptly turned towards him and said aloud "BABA" ;) that was funny and amused baba....later, baba asked him to scold him and tintin obliged

btw, baba got his cycle repaired for the third time now....and has shifted the cycle to our place. his new bicycle is now at baba's palce

love the way he hugs me while sleeping :) i mean he sleeps really close to my neck and that is a very very nice feeling. i feel very very motherly and warm :) and then in the morning, he walks straight to me...that is what i think all children do ... they make mommies fell special..mommies mean the world to them :)

put him to sleep after brief lunch and a potty session :) and yeah, a shortcut, but nice warm bath :) he asked me to sing .. mummy-papa (from the film andaz....hain na bolo bolo...shammi kapoor-hema malini number)

tintin has picked up the song remama-remama-rey...so well that each time i sing..hum to gaya bazar me lene to laddu, laddu-waddu kuch na mila,.... tintin sings.... peeche padha tattu. and then he smiles :)

tintin asks me to sing "tin tin tin" (baba's version of 1-2-3..that goes like this.....1-2-3, tintintin, 4-5-6, tin-tin-tin, 7-8-9-10, tintintin...tintintin baba tintintin, tintintin baba tintintin ;) tintin LOVES THIS :) and i believe it is his way of acknowledging baba's efforts to amuse him (when he was tiny..baba used to put him to sleep by singing this) :)

trying to balance all his paper helicopters in his pocket this morning :) made about 10 of them ..he let three of them fly and land in sudeshna aunty's balcony :) he was happy to give her a demo
after licking the chocolate out of bournbon, he comes to me and says "khabo na"!!!!
this was last night...trying to finish milk in style...taking sips with the straw...at times he would blow bubbles too but then eventually, he finished it all. after all, he was hungry after potty :)
arranging his cars in one row...that was amazing
this was last night again...he was trying to wear his shirt by himself...btw, this morning, he wore his crocs by himself and then came to me :)

trying to fix his cycle...well, at least pretending ;)
now, zom too wants to check that out!!!!
these pics were clicked on saturday night after we went to baba's place after dropping radha
this is a small boat that baba made for tintin :) it of course was torn in no time as tintin insisted that it takes a bath!!!! That was on 16th, last friday

removed the oil cloth from the bed on friday..tintin has grown up..yet another milestone for me :) told him that he wouldnt need it and he nodded :)

---

He hates it when i dress up after bath..that perhaps gives an indication that the funtime in the morning is drawing to an end and soon i will head for work :(..but yeah, he pressed drops of milk from me then tells me...maa, calcium :) i said no milk, he says naa, calcium ... he even tasted it on his fingers :)

---

on sunday, tintin was playing with paper helicopters and managed to tear them apart...then when i called maasi, tintin said...helicopter bhenge gache...but immediately, he realised he was talking to someone who knows gujarati, so he said..helicopter todi nakhi!!!! amazing he is

last night we went to ish's place...tintin told sajit upar jaana hai!!! (i want to go upstairs -- to check out the wooden bird --)!!! he was happy when ishi made him eat his parathas as i cooked in their kitchen :)

then late at night, we all went to ikobo, a sizzler specialty restaurant with ojas' cousins....tintin was very happy to be with so many people....

forgot to mention ... yesterday morning as i was wearing my helmet, i realised i was meeting with some resistance...realised that it was tintin's camera :)))

this is how you make the most of the keys...:)
these are in fact baba's and tintin used them on the fridge and was happy when i praised him ;)
--
tintin replied in english last night ...ojas told him "oh wow, this is your truck?" tintin replied, "no this is a car"!!!! this morning, too he mumbled something in english

tintin's fleet of cars-aeroplanes-helicopters.....couldnt keep the train as i could nt locate it in his toybox

found this in my bag after i came to office today!!! this i got for tintin last night after we dropped radha...he slept with it by his pillow :)

i kiss tintin whenever he comes to me when he is hurt. this morning, his feet was apparently hurt...he came to me when i was in the kitchen..he said maa, batha (maa, it hurts)....i said it will get okay (i patted on his head softly)....he said...naaa puppy dao (no....kiss me)...i smiled and kissed on his feet that was in the air by then :) he had raised it so that i could reach him....he then asked me to pat a kiss at one more place and i obliged with a smile

posing for me last night
this is how you mash a tomato...he demonstrated this morning

awe....some cosy moments with my sonnie

he accompanied me to fab india this afternoon...he was soo happy to be there...checked out colourful garments and bags...he was happy is all i could say. he chatted with the sales gals and jumped around :) have put him to sleep and then came to work

tintin accompanied me to

this is how you drink water!!!!! pour it in the cap (use it like a saucer) and then sip from it!

tintin spent the sunday at baba's place. slept well, played a LOT, chased zombie, cried when he spotted zombie playing with balls and then grabbed all of them...four infact!!!

a better version of father's day campaign by ishanee-sajit

i got two disney t-shirts for tintin with cars printed on them....he saw them when i walked home last night, insisted that i make him wear one of them....all dressed, he wanted to visit ishi aunty-sajit uncle...although ish wasnt home, we still went to their place and spent an hour there...after coming back, he insisted that i make him wear the other one too!!! he slept in that and was very happy about them..after bath this morning, he asked me to make him wear the first t-shirt-shorts again!!!! he is cute.

last night tintin asked me to sing baba black"shee", ichakdana (nargis-raj kapoor song) and the lullaby that ojas sings to him..guess i will have to learn few songs for him now :)

cosying with milee didi
making the boggies right ...

we spent Wednesday together because radha was ailing...baba too needed some attention as the orthopedic doc said there was a fracture in his right feet..in the evening we three went to a doc and then returned back...tintin insisted that i take him to milee-didi...he played a lot with her and sudeshna aunty...

tintin LOVES doremon :)..every morning he insists that i play him either eia-eia or doremon
--
last night we went to two ganesha pandals not once, but twice, once just me and tin and later with ojas...tintin danced to the orchestra and was super excited to be there..
--
this morning, as i was getting ready for work, he tells me "maa, jama poro na" :)

he played a LOT with zombie yesterday...chased him with his bicycle and then patted him with lot of love...there he is trying to befriend him as i was on the net chatting with jui

tintin mopped the floor using wet newspaper last evening at baba's place....he wet the paper with water from his bottle, sat on the carton that was converted into a garage and then, went about his job!!!! after about 30 minutes, he looks up and tells me...safai kar dia! he also cleaned the table with a tiny piece of paper !!!

although the helicopter refused to take off, its blades ensured that it keeps swirling on the floor...that was enough to keep tintin excited...he would go near the helicopter in motion and then would ecstatically tell me "maa, ac" (as he could feel the air thrown from the blades :) eventually, he broke one of the blades from the helicopter's tail and was a little apologetic about it...he loved to go through the picture dictionary that i took out for him, played the harmonica with baba ..

this morning, he woke up crying because he thought that the car keys he slept with last night were taken away from him....i showed him that they were right where he left them before falling asleep...on his pillow :))))

i got a tractor for him ..honestly, i dnt want him to cry while i leave for work..

last night he went to see gonesh thakur near our house before going to ish's place where he got this lovely jumpers :) he felt shy when she asked him to pose for the camera :)

baba came home yesterday morning and took tintin out for a walk for near 40 minutes, tintin came back happy and with two brownies in this hand:) hands full i should say :) then before leaving, baba offered him a scooter round in our building premises too...what more could he have asked for :)

--

he cried a lot this evening (radha tells me over the phone) since i took away the car keys from his hands while leaving for work!!!! :(

babu dada has learnt "ki" well :) day before yesterday, i was trying to tell him smthing and he kept saying "Ki"...as if he wasnt able to understand and then would give a sly smile..
