HAPPY BIRTHDAY :)

So... My baby turned three last Friday. Its been three years since this cute-little-naughty-pie filled our life with happiness and joy. I just cant even remember how my life was before Jason happened.


He is such a naughty fellow now. Has a mind of his own, and will do only want he wants to, even though poor mama will be screaming her head off at the other end of the room. I think he working very hard on getting the 'horrible three' badge after he successfully crossed the 'terrible two' stage.


I love my baby more than anything else in this whole world. I love him from the morning when he smiles and says 'goo-moning' while reaching for his milk-cup, to the night where he asks me to sing a butterfly song, and sleeps off hugging me and listening to my made-up song. There has been times when I have cried thinking that he will be off to collage after twenty years, and there also has been times when i have cried when he does not have dinner, or throws things around. There has been times when I have been happy thinking that he is going to grow up to be very good human being and make some lucky girl very happy. And just yesterday I cried happily when he hugged me and said 'lau you amma'. It just wont matter how old your child gets, or if we have to struggle through the horrible-threes or the fearsome-fours phase, we just love them.


I am so so blessed to have you sweetheart. May God Bless you and protect you always.


We wanted to make it a happy day for him, as he knows the birthday concept. He did have a blast. He enjoyed himself more than anyone else. Here are some pics from his birthday...

We took him aft school to pizza-corner. He did not eat much though, but had fun at the ball-pit.

That's the Birthday boy, all ready and waiting for his friends to come. There were around 13 of them.

The yummy birthday cake..

Was all ready to attack the cake...

Its chocolate or cake in his mouth...

With his friends having cake and snacks..

Everyone enjoyed a lot.... It was nice to watch them.

The King with all the gifts he got.

It was a nice day. The best and the most important part was Jason was happy. He deserves to be, he is a very nice kid, though at times he can drive his mama crazy.....no.. thats for another post.

Happy Birthday Baby

Our darling Chikku,

Wish You A Very Happy Birthday.
You have been in our life for two years now,

And it feels like, just yesterday when we celebrated your first Birthday.

And now you are already Two...

Some more months and you would be off to school, leaving Mama in tears of happiness.

The last 730 days have been the best and the most memorable days of our life.

You have been the most important person of our lives.

The excited welcome you give us when anyone of us comes back home,

The tiredness just vanishes.

The astonished look on your face, when you see something new, its just precious.

The surprised look and the 'aiyoo' you do when you drop something, its priceless.

The way you say 'NO' to everything, with your mouth and eyes round as saucers,

Its so so sweet. And yes, that's the only English word you know,

Besides thee(three), thoo(two) and un(one) :)

You are intelligent enough to get your slippers right every time,

Even the ones we made you try out in the shop, which you were seeing for the first time.

You can also hold a pen/pencil correctly, but you do scribble on the walls a lot.

You love to look at books/magazines and you always hold them correct.

While siting on the floor and watching TV, you sometimes come from behind,

Hug us, leans forward, smile and kiss us on our lips.

Our heart just swells up with love when you do that.

And you do give us lots of kisses when ever we ask.

You can now reach all the door knobs and open them,

And since you cant reach the grill door's knob, you stand on top of your books and open it.

You love our car, and actually make a big scene when we shift you from the drivers seat.
You can recognise the car among, at least 40-45 other cars at the Church compound.

You know that Bible is something important, and you hold it close to your chest

And mumble something, with your eyes closed, it sure looks like you are praying.

When we sit for prayer at home, you are ready with the songbook and start singing.

Even though its in your own words, its really sweet to watch you do so.

You know your manners, and cover your mouth when you sneeze or cough.

And you cover your whole face when you cry,

And yes... its breaks our heart to see you cry baby.

You love to help mama, by pulling out all the cups and cans from the kitchen shelf,

And put it back, though in a haphazard way.

By taking the broom and mop and cleaning it in your own style.

By cleaning up your su-su (pee) with washed-and-ironed clothes.

Earlier, you just walked and then later walked fast, but you have started running now.

And you love to play football on the terrace with mama,

Though mama does most of the kicking.

You still don't have all the teeth, but have 12 and another one is on its way.

You dont brush your teeth, but use the brush to clean all your toys and stuff.

You don't do your su-su or potty in toilet, you just do it all over the place,

Its OK, you will get it right within a couple of months.

You love to snuggle close to mama at night, and in the morning you wont let us leave.

You, keep calling us and say 'Babo ba-Babo ba', as in , come to sleep.

You dont talk in sentences though, just words, like Bella (vellam/water),

Menna (venda/dont want), yam(jam), and some more like that.

And yes, I will thank the MTV and the VTV guys on your behalf.

Cos, that's the only I can get food down your throat.

You are a non fussy guy, but when it comes to eating food...

We eventually end up having a mini war.

You love to listen to songs a LOT.

You dance to the songs, you try to sing along also.

Your fav songs at present are the ones from Delhi-6, Billu Barber,

Kismat Konnection, Jab we met...

Basically all the fast and disco type songs.

You are such a sweet kid, everyone in our flat adhores you,

And every one stops at least to shake hands with you.

And on your birthday today, we wanted you to know,

That there are so many people all around the world,

Who are praying for your well being and happiness.

May God Bless you baby.

May all your wishes come true.

And we promise you sweetheart, to give you everything we can,

So that you grow up to be God-Fearing, Healthy, Caring, Sincere, Honest Person.

Chikku, you give us the reason to wake up in the mornings,

You, my sweetheart, make our life worth living,

We Love You Baby...Papa and Mama Loves you a lot...

Happy Birthday Once Again Baby.

With all our love,

Mama and Papa.

Jason's birthday snaps ( at last...)

Got Jason's snaps couple of days back, but my stupid sinus acted up, so was busy sneezing around.

Happy Birthday Jason.

Getting ready to cut the cake.

He loved the cake...

Jason had a good time with his friends.

One of the gifts Jason loved..

Now, some snapshots of my handsome little son. I know, my blog is loaded with his snaps, but i cant help it......I am a Mom madly in love with my son..

Isn't he handsome... ?

Jason's Birthday party.

Had a very busy weekend, with my parents in Chennai and preparations for Jason birthday party, which we celebrated on 24th (Sunday). My parents had come down for the same. They were really happy to see Jason after such a long time. My father spent every minute he can with Jason. Mom was busy shuttling between 'playing with him' and 'helping me in the kitchen'. My Sis could not come as she had exams this week.

The party was not as great as i had expected it to be. The number of guest were less than we had expected, as some of Shibu's colleagues were working. And Shibu was also not well. He had a sever sinus attack and slight fever too. The decorations were not that great either, as all the balloons were bursting due to the breeze. Anyhow we are not suppose to make it a grand function (as its not an year after the Father in law's demise).

But the best thing about the party was, Jason had a very good time. I was afraid he would fall asleep, as 8pm is his bed time. But he was wide awake, and very active too. Did not cry even once. He was actually clapping his hands when we sang the Happy birthday song. He dutifully went to everyone, smiled and said ta ta too. I think he knew, he was the most important person there. And he was happy to receive gifts too, with the shining and sparkling wrapping papers.
He slept only after everyone left. We were also very tired. But not too tired to open up the gifts. Actually i was the one in hurry to see what he has got. Lots of toys and dresses for him. The best were a set of books ( which included colors, numbers, my first words, alphabets and shapes), a keyboard ( by a blogger friend), a turtle which he can push around and walk along with it and a police jeep with policemen jumping out and shooting and shouting.

All in all, the birthday party was ok.

P.s: Have not got the snaps developed yet.

On that day.

Thats my sweet little son on his birthday. We did not celebrate much, just us family. Since it was a working day, we are planning on celebrating it on this sunday. Dinner with some friends and family. My parents will come down for their grandson's birthday.

Jason's first birthday cake.

Happy Birthday Jason.

I still remember the day that you were born,
I cried when the doctor placed you in my waiting arms.

So precious and small, a sight to behold,
In the blink of an eye, my baby boy has turned 1 year old.

I still remember protecting your head and neck with my hands,
In the blink of an eye, you're crawling and climbing the chairs like a little man.

I still remember when you would only smile in your sleep,
In the blink of an eye, you are screaming, laughing and giggling,
The sound is so sweet.

I still remember holding a bottle to your lips,
In the blink of an eye, from a cup you now take sips.

I still remember when girgling was all that you could do,
In the blink of an eye, you're yelling Ma Ma and Pa Pa too!

I love you so much and I'll continue to cherish all that you do,
Because I know that
In the blink of an eye, my one-year-old will be two

I love you Jason. Mamma and Pappa loves you very much.

p.s: I am publishing this mail on 19th Feb, but the date shown is 18th.
