Well it is the peak of summer here in Stockholm and the city has come to life. Dada has his vacations now and that makes it even more fun. We create a ruckus the whole day long scattering toys all over the place, screaming with joy, and playing with each other. Of course we do converse with one another..the language is a bit differnt though. Dada speaks in his coherent hindi or english..and I speak in my language.. called the ' Chinku language'.. It comprises of screaming , cooing and gurgling back at him... oh yes the pitch varies though to show exactly what I mean. It comes across as funny to all those to see the scene although dada and me understand each other and continue with our play..while mamma and papa have a hearty laugh.
Mamma has gone crazy as the ' Summer Sale' is on in all of the shops here and I really dont understand the glee on her face when she gets a good deal on her favourite things.. that means dada and me accompany her to the downtown and the various malls every other day. Ah.!! now I know why papa says 'Women will be Women'..
The malls and our outings are not that bad .. since we do stop at parks on the way and play a bit. Mamma dresses me in real bright summer outfits and I see people pass a cute smile at me on the way. I also hear them say ' Gulligt' or ' Söt' which in swedish means ' How sweet and soo cute'.. :-) See my pictures to believe me.
We also went to one of the islands on the swedish Archipelago one saturday with Meenu aunty's family and it was a lot of fun. Meenu aunty has a little girl named ' Akriti' and it was her first ever outing this long. I couldnt get to play with her as she is only a month and half old now.. Although I did try to hold her hand and see her from close when we were in the ferry out .Once there Mamma and papa took a lot of pictures all over the place and I enjoyed seeing the ducks and the sea gulls.We have some pictures from that day too.
Dada has learnt to ride his bike without the support wheels and that is his achievement these days. He loves to show off when we go for our evening walks and I gurgle back in delight as I see him swishhh past us in full speed.
Papa was away to Brazil last week and when back he bought us lovely presents for all of us.
Like papa who I always hear saying ' Think outside the box'.... I too have found an unconventional way to move around... I dont really crawl. I can get up and sit without help and if I want something..I simply lay down and roll towards that object and when I reach it I sit up again. I love creating a big mess when I eat and it means a lot more work for mamma everyday. I also enjoy throwing my food, toys and anything else I can get my hands on onto the floor for mamma and papa to pick up ... 100 times. All in all I am enjoying the summers..and waiting for it to get better when papa finally takes some days off next week.
