21 months old

This post is way overdue. This month has been crazy busy (7 March to 6 April 2010). Aaji-Aaba got here ~end of March, and we were in Tahoe for a weekend after that. The next weekend was catch-up and then Rian's 21 month bday. The cake was Chocolate Opera Cake from Sugar Butter Flour, absolutely yummy, simply amazing, not-too-sweet, perfect balance.

Anyways, Rian has been picking up more and more Marathi this month. Highlight was surely discovering that he could now say 11 to 20 :-) Cely did a great job at teaching him numbers. Every time he climbs up or down the stairs with her, she counts! Such small things help a lot.

Rian was happy to see Aaba and Aaji. A few days before their arrival, we showed him photos and spoke about Aaji and Aaba. I'm sure he too remembers so many small things. When he last saw them, he was 13 months old. 8 months later, Rian was very happy to greet them again.

Rian has made some very good progress in potty training. I randomly started on 28 March, and by the time Rian was 21 months old (in 10 days) Rian was much day-time pee-pee trained with a few accidents here n there. Poo poo was still a challenge though and we needed diapers to go ;-)

Rian a course of antibiotics this month. This was his second one in his life. Cold lasting for ~4 weeks = sinus infection. He was then healthy for two weeks. After we got back from Tahoe, he had a full fledged cold again.

Rian loved playing in the snow. He hated wearing so many layers of clothes - "nineteen", as Daddy taught him to say. Once Daddy got him "jump-started", Rian had loads of fun. Shayona and Parv were very good company for Rian.

Other misc trivia: Rian had his fourth hair cut, and we again sobbed once those long locks were lost. Sigh. He also finished his "Movement Exploration" class and had his "first graduation". That sure was fun. Mom made samosas :-) Okay you can read that as "mom fried ready-made frozen samosas" :-) Rian's room was finally "done".

शम्भरावी पोस्ट

शम्भरावी ही माझी पोस्टिंग एकदम परफेक्ट मराठी बद्दल आहे
मागच्या आठवड्यात मी रियानला मराठी शिकवायला सुरुवात केली
त्याने फार छान इंटरेस्ट दाखवला आणि भरभर बोलू लागला
रियान आता हे शब्द मराठीत बोलतो:
दादा
बाबा
आई
पाणी
गाडी
थंडी
आजी
आजोबा (बा)
आत्या (कधी कधी तात्या म्हणतो)
मामा
गागा (गाई गाई)
बाई

खूप खूप आनंद होतो त्याला मोठा होताना बघता बघता
इतक्यातच दोन वर्षाचा होइल
