Richie matching shapes on Anpanman ball
Richie is 16 months old now. He has become very active and interactive too. He has an Anpanman (Japanese cartoon) ball having various shapes cut out on it. It has dual purpose. He can play it like a ball by rolling it or match the shapes with different colors.He started to match the shapes one-by-one. Some seemed pretty easy like circle,ellipse, but some others were a little difficult at first. Though we taught him a few first, he managed matching the rest himself with ease.
Richie played a lot today
Richie seemed all happy today and was playing a lot. He started a new game. The game was about collecting all the multicolored small balls in one place. Then he would take 2 balls in his hands and crawl in "Commando" position i.e on his elbows and meticulously keep them on the chair, so that they don't slip down. He didn't stop till he finished placing all the balls on the chair. Inspite of all the care, some balls would give him a slip. But Richie was quick to get them back, scolding them for their bad behaviour. Thinking that he may be tired, Richie's dada tried to help him. But what do you think Richie did? He didn't accept the balls and threw them at the place from where it came from. Richie's dada exclaimed "He has his his own rules. We better not mess around.".;)
Funtime - Playing in the park
After a long time, we thought of stretching our muscles a bit. So I and my hubby decided that we will play soccer in the park. Evening came and we all 3 marched to the park in our sportswear. We played whilst Richie sat in his stroller, watching and cheering us up. After a while, some kids also joined us. Richie was overjoyed and was almost jumping out of the stroller to play with us.
After coming home, I saw him laying on his back and kicking his plastic ball just the way we did. That was pretty fast for a 8 month old.

Richie says Hi
Hello you lovely people, This is Richie again. This is the continuation to my previous blog Hello Everyone, Richie here... I am doing a lot of stuff..
These days I am also practicing pushing forward. Yet to master it.. But I know I will soon be there. Mom is worried that I am not sitting yet.. Don’t worry mom, I will do that too.
I have started eating solid foods. I eat rice with vegetables everyday. The other things I tasted are fruits yogurt, apple puree, orange and apple juices, sweet potatoes and of course formula milk. But of them all, mom’s milk is my favourite. :) I need mommy’s milk at least 4-5 times a day and specially when going to sleep. Not much trouble to suck from bottles or eat with spoons. I can drink in my sleep too.. he he he ;)
Mom takes me in the balcony for fresh air everyday and I love to see the car, buses, motorbikes, vans, bicycles down on the road. She tells me all about them. I specially love to see the li'l babies in their prams.
I love to sleep on my tummy these days. It makes my back cool.
Recently I have got a craze for youtube. I love watching “Macarena, Ketchup and Lambada” songs. I also like a lot of nursery rhymes. Mom sings for me so that I understand the words.Favourite among them are ”Alphabet song, Incy Wincy Spider, 5 little monkeys jumping on the bed, chubby cheeks, happy birthday” .. hmmm the list is a little long… Mom says ”I should sing the happy b'day song for my first bday”. There are six months more for me to practice.
Yes, I have also learnt some sign language. I can shake hands, give high-five, ask for milk, ask for more food, say no.. These days I am counting numbers with my fingers. I also understand “Come here, open your mouth, show tongue, touch, point to the pics, turn on your stomach, bath-time, sleep-time, nappy change time”.

Hello Everyone, Richie here
Hello dear people who read mama’s blog. I had written a blog when I was in Mama’s tummy (obviously my thoughts and mama’s hands). I hope you had liked it. I thought you may have missed me, so I am back again. You see I am growing up fast. I had been busy, getting used to the new environment and routines, learning new things.... and hence the delay. O my God!! Life is so complicated outside the womb. But at the same time, it is so much colorful and fun.And I am not alone anymore. Everybody loves me so much. I can play, shout, laugh and there is mom and dad to take part in it. I like the adventures. It is fun seeing and doing all the things I am doing now. I am 6 months now and mom says “I am a big boy now and I should do things on my own”. Do you think so? hmmmmmm.. maybe.. I am behaving myself. You know how much !! husssh husssh..
What was I doing all these days? Do you want to know?
I have learnt to play on my own.
I love to throw toys all over the place and then find them, or sometimes mom finds them for me.:)
I can hold my neck up strongly and can turn on my tummy and back.
I love rolling as it takes me to my destination faster and gives mama good exercise running after me. ;) he he he . Also it helps me to retrieve the toys I like or to go to the place where mom and dad are sitting. I give them nice surprises while they are working.
My best pastime is eating my toes… yeah they are very delicious ”in mama’s words”.ha ha ha…
I play with the ball everyday. I can hold it in-between my legs and get it to my hands. The other day I heard mom telling dad “I think he gonna be a great soccer player”..Well maybe.. I wanna be good at many things as possible. “Master of All trades”!! So I am practicing at an early age.
Mom and dad play peekaboo with me .. It is fun .. Lots of squealing and laughter goes on at that time. I enjoy it when from nowhere mom and dad suddenly appear..
Mom blows bubbles and dad and I have fun catching them.
Mom takes me to the park almost everyday in the evening.. I enjoy nature. The trees and the water.. there is a big fountain, river and the board walk and lots of children activities. I love to rock on the panda. Yet to sit play on the slide, swing, the boat, railway engine etc.
I have also made some friends.. they are girls but more than 3 years.. age doesn’t matter though;)

Home Sweet Home –Thirteenth week
As mentioned in my earlier blog trip abroad, we were home for holidays. It was a long but wonderful journey.
When we reached home,the joy on our parent’s faces knew no bounds. They were very happy to have their grandson home. More than us, it was Richie who got all the attention. They couldn’t have enough of him. He was the center of attraction.
Richie completed 3 months this week. His holidays were going good. He was happy with all the attention and pampering he was getting from everyone at home. Many relatives came to see the newborn in the family. The last baby in the family was born 3 years back so little Richie became the apple of everyones’s eyes. The other 4 older cousins were overjoyed to see a little baby. They were talking and singing nursery rhymes for him. Richie too was enjoying and responding to them with his cute sign language, smiles and cooing. There was an instant bond between them. As for me, I got some time out as he was well occupied with his new playmates and needed mom only for feeds and nappy changes. :)
The change of environment was doing Richie good. He was having good oil massage and bath from a professional person, daily. Even I was getting pampered. Mom made my favourite dishes and I relished them away to glory.
Richie’s Milestone in the thirteenth week:
- trying to turn on his own. He is holding his head well.
- he is catching his legs with his hands and playing... trying to eat his toes.:)
- he is looking at a small baby in a poster and talking a lot.. heard that babies like small babies pictures a lot.
- he is also giggling and shouting when we make funny faces... it is a sign that he understands and is reacting to new stuff.

Richie learning fast - Seventh week
Richie is in his seventh week. Days are passing so fast. Soon it will be 2 months for him. Richie loves to move his hands and legs in the air and entertains himself and us too. He has learnt to play on his own which is a good thing for us. Whenever I sing nursery rhymes, he becomes excited and dances moving his hands and legs happily. The song “Ency weency spider” is his favourite one. Whenever he is crying I sing it and he becomes quiet and listens intently.
One of these nights, Richie slept for 4 hrs continuously, which was very unusual for him as he used to wake up every 2-3 hours for his feed. Afraid that he might be hungry I woke him up to feed him.;) and guess what when I told my mom, she started laughing. She said after the first few weeks, babies sleep for a longer time in the night. I was happy to hear that and welcoming the lovely change in Richie.
He has started recognizing our faces. When we enter the room he gives a cute smile and when we leave he makes a sad face and starts crying. He likes the sound of the wind chimes and giggles and smiles when it makes sound. We put him in a cradle and he swings happily even when he is hungry. Ha ha ha ha.. ..
This week, Richie and I went to the park. This was his first visit to the park. It was a sunny day and Richie enjoyed himself, but slept soon due to the lovely breeze.
Richie loves his dada very much and used to wait late night to catch a glimpse of him. So these days dada tries to come home early to play with Richie.

Time for fun - Sixth week
Richie has started enjoying himself. He is watching nursery rhymes on youtube. Too early right? He has just completed 5 weeks. But kids these days.. You can never know what they are upto.
He looks at the empty ceiling and keeps smiling and telling some stories. God only knows what he imagines and sees there. Maybe Angels!! Have you seen a similar behaviour in your babies? It seems that babies are very much tuned to their higher self and angels play with them. Maybe true!!
Nowadays he has developed a craze for the air-con. He turns and stares at it whenever it is switched on/off or when it moves. Sometimes he even scolds the air-con by making loud sounds if he feels too hot.. ha ha ha..
He opens his mouth to say something when we tell him stories. He also smiles when we sing the “ABC” song. Maybe he remembers it, as we used to sing it when he was in my tummy.
As for me, I have become more relaxed and enjoying my days with my little baby. He is so adorable and fun to be with. I am happy with his development and his achievements. After all he is taking big leaps starting from nowhere.
