Jan 20th, 2007 - It was a pretty lazy Saturday here in Los Angeles. The weather was a bit gloomy but the temperature was rather pleasant. We decided to go to Ikea to buy a few small things and my parents bought me a new toy box. During the day, I scatter the entire room with my toys and everyone is tripping and falling over things, but at nightmy mother neatly puts everything away. Now she has a box to put it in. The box has a nice big lock on it and I enjoyed playing with that today.

We also went to lunch at the Chilis in Carson and the service was really terrible. I got to eat some Southwestern Rolls while I was there.

Jan 15th, 2007 - I turned 11 months today. I celebrate my birthday every month this first year. I think I was in fine form all day. I seemed to have an extra burst of energy, no desire to sleep and as usual "do my own stunts". As you can see, mt T-Shirt makes a statement.  To celebrate my 11th month birthday, my mother had made Chicken Biryani. In the evening, when my parents were having dinner, I sampled a little. I liked the taste of Biryani. Can't wait to grow up and have more. My grandmother always calls up on the 15th of every month to wish me and she called today too. Soon I will be a year old.

Jan 14th, 2007 - Today is a big Hindu festival, Makar Sankranti and so we decided to go to the temple. The Hindu temple at Malibu is the nearest temple for us and we go there fairly often. We started the day by going to Babies R Us store to buy some new clothes for me. I seem to be outgrowing my existing set of clothes. From the store we went to the temple. It was a long drive and I got a bit uncomfortable along the way. Once we got there, we visitied all the deities . I seemed to like the sounds of the temples bells. I also ate some prasadam too.

From the temple we headed back towards home and we had lunch at AnnaPurna restaurant in Culver City. I tried some Channa Bathura and some dosa as well. I like the taste of spicy food.  

Jan 9th, 2007 - Today is my grandmother's brother's (thus making him my grandfather too or is that granduncle) birthday. I would like to wish him a wonderful day. He lives in New Zealand and is actually 21 hours ahead of where I live. Thats pretty cool. I hope that he and his family will visit us this year. It will be a lot of fun.

Happy Birthday once again.

Jan 7th, 2007 - Most of my life, I have had only one thing......Milk. Thankfully a few months ago, Dr Woo advised my parents to give me solids and so I graduated to Rice, Oats, Carrots, Squash, Sweet Potatoes, Peas, Beans, AppleSauce and Prunes. My Indian blood finds all that fairly bland and I was probably longing for some food with spice. On my last visit to the doctor, he said I could try some home cookin'. Ever since then, I run to my parents plate when they are having dinner and taste it. I love the tastes of Indian food.  I have tried Rice, Pulao, Khichadi, Dal, Samosa etc.
