My Little Distracted Chick - kutti "r" @ 8 weeks

Jan von Holleben, Mila's daydreams, Anne Geddes - all these made me work up kutti "r"

He was 8 weeks (Dec 30) when I took this picture...(low-res)...

I was reluctant to send entries to Artsy Craftsy challenges at Mindfull Meanderings cos I never had a working blog until last month...
This month's theme triggered me to send one of the many pictures I took of kutti "r"... One of our family friend gave kutti "r" his outfit. Yellow shirt and shorts. His bath towel came handy for the shot! My little distracted chicken was just waiting to get out of his egg shell (the towel). He loves to kick off any blanket that's put on him while he is awake...
One is never too young to join the dress-up party and this is our first entry into the Artsy Craftsy world!

kutti "r" - you make a new me every day!

Toy making dreams - B&W Panda boy

Just found time to click a picture of the other pillow I made for kutti "r". This was one other outputs of my pregnancy hobby...Scrap felt and toy filling...completely hand-stitched.

Still dreaming of books and beyond...

arghh....
Still dreaming....
Only thing thats been going steadily since the New Year is my baby journal...
Wishing all dreams take shape soon....
In a frenzy to pick a book to read I googled "Top ten books" and I ended up with a website which read my mind. "When so many works are within such easy reach, choice becomes torture. What to pick? Where to start? This one? That one? How about this—and that? What will I like? What's worth my time?"
and ofcourse gave out the 

Top Ten List for Top Ten Works of All-Time

1. Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy 
2. Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert 
3. War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy 
4. Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov 
5. Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain 
6. Hamlet by William Shakespeare 
7. The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald 
8. In Search of Lost Time by Marcel Proust
9. The Stories of Anton Chekhov by Anton Chekhov
10. Middlemarch by George Eliot

And I am hoping I will find one of these tomorrow at the bookstore closest to my house.

My health dreams - I dont even want to talk about it. Every night I think tomorrow will be the day...dreaming on...

Kutti "r" doesnt seem to need lullabies...He's happy to fall asleep by himself...Doesnt need a miracle blanket nor a pacifier....He does need his ammathaatha's shoulder though just before bedtime...So lullabies need to be modified...The whole of Margazhi went without me chanting the entire paasuram. Gosh! I feel so bad at times...but then "baby time" has always been the excuse that I have been giving myself...

One thing I did this weekend was when "V" came home, made him some good veggie sandwiches but nothing after that morning breakfast. 

It is sheer luxury when you are your parents place. My mom and granny go beyond their ways to make sure that I get what I want...They hardly call me into the kitchen. Granny takes care of washing kutti "r"'s cloth nappies while mom takes care of everything else. Its sheer bliss sometimes when all I do is feed kutti "r" and hand him over to my parents and granny. They provide him all the stimulation he needs during his waking hours. Wonder what I am going to do without them when I am back 2 Blore. 

Toy making dreams - funny frog pillow

My new found interest...well not exactly, I must admit that I revived my toy making dream the moment I realized I am going to have a baby. This is one of the felt pillows I did for kutti "r" while I was 8 months. I didn't follow any pattern, just whatever came to my mind. I used scrap felt..
