After returning from India also i was not used to anyone, and was not liking to anyone. so mom and dad decided to put me childcare, so that i will get used to everyone and start playing with other kids aswell.
And as mom was not working so they started me sending 2 days a week.
On the first day, when we went mom was also sitting along with me, so that i will get used to that environment. The place was good, as there were lots of toys to play around, but i want my mom aswell along with the toys. So on the second day, mom tried to leave me in the room for 10 minutes, but i was very much upset as all the child care teachers were new to me, i dont know anyone over there. Then mom came over to the room where i was there and we went back home.
Finally on the 3rd day i.e 17th feb 2010, my mom left me there and went away,but as i got used to the place and i came to know that , if i cry also my mom won't come, so i stopped crying and tried to play by myself.
But i didn't like the food, as our home food was completely different from their food.
But after few days, i got used to place and was bit upset only while dropping. after that i was ok. And also tried very hard to eat their food. And i was also getting frequent cold, my mom planned to stop sending me to child care for few days. i missed those toys but happy that i will be with my mom.
But soon within a month my mom got a job, so she had to start sending me again to child care. As i was used to previous child care (ABC childcare centre) my mom planned to send me back to that same old one. so i started full time, working harder than my mom and dad.... as they work only 8 hrs but i have to stay in childcare from 7:45am till 6:00 pm almost 10 hrs. But thatz fine, i am enjoying there.. now here comes the twist.. now- a-days i started liking their food, their way of living (being independent). Now i can eat by myself, sleep by myself, bath by myself, drink milk & juices by myself....etc.
Now mom and dad are one way happy that i am getting used all sorts of things and people but other way they are bit upset bcoz i am getting cold frequently. So every one says that i may build more healthier immune system. Finger crossed... and hoping for best.
Now i am enjoying my child care days....it summer.... wow................. more outdoor playtimes

My First India Visit
As you all know i was born in Australia so till i was1 year old , havent been to India.
Though i have been with my immediate grandparents, there are lot many cousins, grandparents, Aunts and uncles in India to have fun and enjoy.
So in my 13th month on Nov 8th 2009, me and mom been to India. As dad was busy at office he couldnt come with us and promised me that he will join us later in december. So initially have been to Hyderabad, later visited relatives at Vijayawada, then been to vizag and came back to Hyderabad.
As it was the first time and moving to all different places in India, may be due to weather change i fell sick and was not able to eat and drink , this lasted for 1 week. My mom got tensed and she was planning to come back to melbourne but everyone explained her the situations and then came down and agreed to stay back till dad joins us.
Days were passing by , we (me, mom, ammamma and thatha) were busy in shopping to buy things(Clothes...etc) to get back melbourne.
So at last dad joined us in hyderabad, India on dec 19th 2009. But it was almost 1 1/2 months since we came away from dad, so at one instance i couldnot recognize my dad and when asked me to come, i said nah... then dad pulled me out from thatha and then with the touch and feel, i could recognize him and was happy playing with him again.
But by the time dad came, there were some strikes and things going on. Actually we had plans to go to Tirupathi and Shirdi (Holy Places), but it was very difficult to travel in those situations. So we cancelled all the plans and just visited Vizag again as chinni nayanamma (dad's aunt) and family stays there.After coming back from vizag we came back to melbourne as there was nothing much left to do at India.
And forgot to tell you we bought new house in melbourne before being to India itself, but couldn't stay for long , so thought of coming back and spend time in doing things for new house.
So we came early on Dec 30th than actually planned schedule.
So that was my India Trip..!! am waiting to spend time with family and friends back in India again.

My first Flight Journey
After my birth, i have been to India when i was 13months old.
Offcourse have spent some time with ammamma, aabu thatha and prasad thatha at melbourne it self, but that was not sufficient so been to India for 2 months to have fun with family and friends.
On Nov 8th 2009,my first flight journey and also i have landed in India for the first time in my life. At first me and amma (mom) went, later naana(dad) joined us. As i was more cranky at that age, everyone was tensed of , how amma alone can manage me in the flight and all through the journey. But to their suprise i was soo happy in the flight and also all through the journey (Touchwood)..... See i am also a good boy some times!!!!!!! :)
For the first flight i.e. from Melbourne to Singapore...while take off itself, i went back to sleep and had good sleep for about 2 hrs in my bassinet. Meanwhile mom managed to have her food. After i woke up, i had my food and played for some time and moved around in the flight (No walking by that time...only crawling). Some how, me and mom managaed to get through the long journey (almost 7 1/2 hrs) flight. Then we had 4 hrs break journey.. we spent time in calling to family in India and dad in Melbourne that we reached safely and happily (this is more important for which everyone waited), later we went around the singapore airport and mom managed to take pictures...and at last it was time to board the second flight from Singapore to India. We boarded the flight, as it was sleeping time for me (the time i used to sleep when i was at home in melbourne) and so all through the flight i slept and mom was also happy.
At last we reached India and Ammamma, aabu thatha came to pick me and mom from airport to our home at Hyderabad, India.
so without any fuss, we reached India. So now you have to know that i am also a good boy :)

My First Birthday
Oh...my god.... days are passing soo soon without me doing much of fuss around.
Now i have reached to my First Birthday already.
Its Oct 7th 2009, wednesday. So its a week day, its in Australia....:( no much of celebrations.
So my parents decided to celebrate my birthday on following weekend, when all our friends will be free and happy to come along to make the day more colourful. BUT no venue halls were available on Oct10/11 2009 (the following weekend). So my parents shifted my birthday celebrations to next weekend i.e. to OCT 17th 2009 as finally they could find a venue hall on that day.
So on official day (OCT 7th 2009) we 3 (me, mom and dad) decided to celebrate at our home by ourselves.
As usual, dad was soooooooooooo busy at work he came home at aroung 8:30 pm, me and my mom got ready and was waiting for him to get the cake and to celebrate my day.
My mom, she was not working at that time, so she could decorate the house with balloons and colour papers. By evening 6 she cooked the food, we both got ready and was just waiting for my dad.
At last around 8:30pm he came along with a cake, by that time i was almost sleepy.... bcoz i go to bed around 7 or 7:30pm daily. But have to cut the cake, so i tried to be awake...and after dad came he has to get ready, so it became almost 9pm.... hmmm......at last i could cut the cake, but didnt like it much moreover i was sleepy so i didnt wanted to have it. After that, amma changed my dress and made me sleep happily.....:)... After wards amma and naana (dad) have enjoyed the cake to full extent.
So that was my celebrations on official day
Now the celebrations on 17th of Oct 2009 with friends, to our luck it was on Deepavali day.
Venue: Monash Community Inn, Clayton. It was a community hall... so we had to decorate all the hall since morning then called up on friends in the evening. So in the morning, i thought of helping my parents in decorating the hall, but chakri uncle and ravi uncle came to help naana. I missed the chance to make fuss with decoration papers and balloons :(. While they were decorating the hall, we (me, mom and pratima aunty) got ready for the party. Once they finished the decorating, chakri uncle went to his home to get ready and to come back for the party, naana and ravi uncle came home and got ready for the party. Amma tried to make me sleep, in the evening around 4pm so that i wont be cranky at the party, but i have my own plans... so i didnt sleep.. hehe...
Now its party time, and i forgot to tell you that, my mom made a beautiful banner using her creativity and took help of aabu thatha (moms dad) to print it beautifully and you know that was most highlight part in the party... everyone liked it sooo much and started asking amma the procedure to do it.
My Parents wanted to make the party more joyful so they arranged games for the guests and arranged for some return gifts to little friends.
Everything was going on well in the party, but i was bit cranky,,bcoz i was sleepy.... i always wanted my mom or dad to lift me up.... it was bit hectic for them,,,,so they tried to make me sleep in various ways... but i told u, i have my own plans... i have to see the party isnt it, and to our luck... our friends are sooooooooooooooooo helpful, they have arranged the food, cleaned up all the mess, packed the left over food.....etc... THANKQ SOOO MUCH. All of them enjoyed the games....one of the game was BINGO and other was MUSICAL CHAIR (3 rounds- one for kids, one for gents and other for ladies) distributed the gifts for the winners. It was lots of fun out there. So with all the HUNGAMA... i have celebrated my birthday.. Thanks for all the friends who made this party most memorble.
But the most embrassing part is that we dont have proper photos on that day :(, as everything went on in a hurry... bcoz there were lot many things to do...in short period of time.
So that was My 1st birthday. Now i am a grown up boy .... no more baby

My First Gundu(Shaved head)
Now i will tell you another story ,i.e. about my first gundu....
In India, mainly the telugu people have a tradition of making gundu in odd months before they turn 1. If they didnt do within 1 yr they have to wait till 3 years , that means in 2nd year they are not supposed to do gundu at all.
For my case, i am in Australia but you see my parents are from India so they still follow some traditions.
So, in 7th month my scalp was not so hard enough to do gundu, so in my 9th month when prasad thatha (dad's dad) was there and on one fine day in the month of june, they did gundu...
Here goes the procedure, first they trimmed my hair to maximum extent, then shaved it with dad's shaver.
You all know right i cant sit idle for soooooo much time, so i started crying.. then my mom feeded me the lunch, meanwhile dad and thatha finished my Gundu. Then for 1 or 1 1/2 months i was GUNDU BOY.
Now you should not call me GUNDU BOY, bcoz my hair is grown now.... no GUNDU anymore :)

My First Teeth
I got my first teeth on July 24th 2009, i.e. in my 9th month.
So as usual its also a bit late... hehehe....
My mom could see that there was a teeth coming ,as she could see white shade kind of thing, on my lower jaw... but i took 2 months to come out.
Before my teeth turn up, i used to bite my mom and dad a lot.....and :( bcoz my mom used to scold me for doing bad things... but how can she know the pain we have, while having our teeth...
Later on for every month i used to get one teeth....so that was the resemblance that i am gettting teeth without any fuss and my growth, good thing is that i didnt suffer with any illness(touchwood)
Again...in my 13th month, when i have been to India no tooth came out.... again my mom started worrying...after 3 months my tooth came out, then my mom came to know the teeth comes out phase by phase.....
But problem is, whenever i get teeth, i dont like eating much...then its time for mom to worry...
Anyway...all these are part of raising kids, she has go through all these things isn't it????

My food habits...In my 1st year
I was very happily eating whatever my amma used to put me with ammammas advice.
Offcourse its not so tasty though, but as u know something (some change in food) is better than milk. Drinking only milk for 6 months...... oh my god...........!!!.
My parents, friends mainly my little friends (Akka's and Anna's)... they were just a bit height than me and were just able to do things on their own...even they used to have some colourful and yummy yummy food... but y not me???????
As i started eating all the solids, my dad made me eat more yummy yummy and colourful foods.....thanks dad(i love you sooooooo much)..... offcourse thanks amma...(without full satisfaction but no other choice to go she also accepted / allowed me to eat all yummy yummy foods when i was just 9 or 10 months old).
Now once I learnt that few food items are yummy and others which are mainly good for health are not yummy... i stoppped eating all the healthy foods....because there is much life afterwards to take care of health and to eat ONLY healthy food.... now let me enjoy all yummy yummy food.... and obviously...all my chubiness went down, now i am maintaining my body with slimness and trimness :) :).
Now its hardtime for amma to prepare all the food which i love to eat..... but thatz ok... its my amma..she will do everything for me.
so slowly from a good eater , now i turned up as fussy eater.....

Walking - The Next MIlestone
Now its time to describe about my next milestone,i.e. walking.
Again it is also bit late, but this time it is not because of chubbiness nor laziness, its just because of my carelessness and was bit concious of maintaining my body without any injuries at that time.
The logic behind my thinking was walking is also a kind of mobility, any way now with crawling itself i am getting my things done... i can grab whatever i want.. so why to waste energy in learning new things.. :)!!!
Every thing was going fine, again my parents (mainly my father) gets upset that i am not still walking at my 1st Birthday Party.
I was very much happy that i had my walker which helps me to walk around and go to the park near our home. Soon my parents realised that i am completely depending on walker to walk and am not trying to walk on my own, then they pulled out my rocker from me (grrrrrr...... :( bit angry, bit upset). Later my parents were making me learn how to walk daily, by making me stand and allowing me to walk one or 2 steps by holding their hands and then they used to leave my hands and were waiting me to walk atleast 1 or 2 steps, but me......., as usual i used to give up walking and used to sit down happily.
After going to india in my 13th month , i have shown my ammamma, thatha my crawling skills, they were happy but soon they also started complaining that i am not still walking (grrrr......... :( again bit upset and more angry.... bcoz no support from my grand parents aswell)
At last in my 13th Month and on NOV 15th 2010 i started walking on my own and started enjoying the flavours around walking.
Now its time for amma to lock all the rooms, cupboards and to keep everything out of reach....!!!!... yeah its not only me... they should also have some exercise... isnt it???
Anyway... thanks for all who have supported me (actually forced me....:)) to walk... now i am enjoying walking... i can climb up on sofas, can walk like all you guyz.... and go and grab the things which i want in very short time.
My thatha, ammamma , amma.. and all other relatives were enjoying my first steps bcoz at that time i was in India, but my naana (dad) couldnt enjoy... when amma was explaining him the way i was walking...he was just imagining as he was in Australia at that time.
yeahhhhhhhhh................ now i can run, jump, climb and do all kind of things which u all elders can do... hehhe

Crawling....
I used to be very chubby and also u know i was bit lazy (plz dont tell to my mom) to crawl. As people were forcing me...and my parents were bit upset (as i am not crawling yet in 6th month also), so at last i decided and started crawling by the end of april i.e. in my 7th month...i started crawling on my tummy first... later after 15 to 20 days i started crawling on my knees i.e. by mid of may i crawling perfectly on my knees. Later on slowly...within 10 to 15 days i learnt to sit back in vajrasana pose(u can see in google what is vajrasana pose).
Then i learnt that i can grab things easily....and move around by myself into all rooms.....going near bins, shoes without my mom's notice......
So, atlast i started crawling in my 7th month. Thatz not toooo late right!!!!!

Annaprasna - First Solid feeding cermony
According to hindu culture, usually this first solid feeding cermony is celebrated when the baby is 6months 6 days old.
For me, ammamma(grandmom - mom's mom), aabu thatha (granddad - mom's dad) left to India. It is so embrassing to celebrate without family. So to fulfill this moments prasad thatha (granddad - dad's dad) came to spend some good time with me, mom and dad. As nayanamma (grandmom- dad's mom) is not there thatha has to come alone. As we stay from India, friends are our family so mom and dad thought of celebrating this cermony with friends.But as it should be celebrated on 6th day of 6th month, for me it was on March12th 2009 that was on a thursday, so it was not possible to celebrate with friends. At last me, mom,dad, thatha went and celebrated in the temple , so i started eating solids with gods prasadam (the food which we offer to god). The prasadam was yummy, so dad fed me 1st with his gold ring (that is how it is celebrated) later mom and thatha also fed me.
After finishing this part of the cermony there comes a funny part which is celebrated mostly by Andhra people. The funny part is they arrange pen, book, money, toys, gold, food infront of the baby , then baby to crawl to reach the things which he likes to grab / touch. Depending on the thing baby grabs / touches first they decides the profession of the baby in future..
Like, if baby touches pen - thinks that baby will become a good writer.
If baby touches book - thinks that baby will be good at his studies and settles in good profession.
If baby touches money - thinks that baby will be earning more money and becomes rich.
If baby touches toys - thinks that baby will become entertainer.
If baby touches gold - thinks that baby will become a business man/ woman and buys lots of gold.
If baby touches food - thinks that baby will be having food without any fussy.. dont know what is the profession in this scenario????.
Coming to my celebration - i wasn't crawling by that time, so mom has arranged everything which i can just reach my hand by sleeping on my tummy. I found gold interesting so i grabbed gold items first, as mom is more careful she took away gold from my hand, then its second chance for me, mom was asking me to hold a book, but i said nah.. i grabbed money. Because my policy is studying well is nothing but to earn to good money, so directly i grabbed the final destination. :)
So will wait and see what destiny decides ???
So there ends my Annaprasna cermony celebrations.
For me, ammamma(grandmom - mom's mom), aabu thatha (granddad - mom's dad) left to India. It is so embrassing to celebrate without family. So to fulfill this moments prasad thatha (granddad - dad's dad) came to spend some good time with me, mom and dad. As nayanamma (grandmom- dad's mom) is not there thatha has to come alone. As we stay from India, friends are our family so mom and dad thought of celebrating this cermony with friends.But as it should be celebrated on 6th day of 6th month, for me it was on March12th 2009 that was on a thursday, so it was not possible to celebrate with friends. At last me, mom,dad, thatha went and celebrated in the temple , so i started eating solids with gods prasadam (the food which we offer to god). The prasadam was yummy, so dad fed me 1st with his gold ring (that is how it is celebrated) later mom and thatha also fed me.
After finishing this part of the cermony there comes a funny part which is celebrated mostly by Andhra people. The funny part is they arrange pen, book, money, toys, gold, food infront of the baby , then baby to crawl to reach the things which he likes to grab / touch. Depending on the thing baby grabs / touches first they decides the profession of the baby in future..

Time spent with ammamma(grand mom) and aabu thatha(grand dad) at 3-4 months of age
When i was 3 months old, my ammamma fell sick and was hospitalised. So my aabu thatha (mom's dad) came to help mom and dad to take care of both me and ammamma.
He stayed for almost 20 days then, they thought its better go back to India so that ammamma recovers soon so they went back to India when i was 4 months old.
But those 20 days were real good, my thatha used to play with me a lot. And even ammamma used to play with me. She always, asked me to turn around and crawl. So to her wish , i tried to atleast roll around / turn around but couldnt crawl bcoz i was soooooo chubby at that time.
So they left Australia when i was 4 months old.
Love You Ammamma and Thatha

My Naming Cermony and Cradle Cermony
Generally the tradition in India mainly from Andhra, On 21st day after our birth this naming and cardle ceremonies are celebrated.
As i was born on 7th oct , so on 27th of oct , my family planned for my naming and cardle ceremonies.
But unfortunately , my amma(mom), naana(dad) and ammamma had to celebrate it normally at home without any grand party, as that was a weekday and also on the follwing weekend many of our friends calendar was not available so couldnt arrange a party.
As it was in Australia there was no proper cradle as in India, so we used our rocker as a cradle and completed the cermony.
So here goes my name details:
Actual / Certificate / Official Name: Surya Tatineni
Nick Name: Bunty , Bangaru, most of the times amma calls me yedhava(hehehe) or round rangayya...

My Birth Story
I started my jounery into this world from Jan-2008. I had real good time in mom's tummy for 9 months eating all yummy yummy foods, making my mom happy by kicking with my tiny feet and tiny hands. And you know, even i used to move around in mom's tummy when dad speaks to me or if he tried to feel my presence.
In 5th month inside mom's tummy , my mom and dad came to know my gender and from then they started hunting for beautiful names. And sad thing is that my mom was upset because she wanted a girl, but offcourse she loves me a lot aswell. They started buying boy things (the things with no pink in it :) ) for me.
My Mom and her friends used to say i am very good boy when i am inside mom's tummy as i didnot trouble my mom at all throught her pregnancy.
Then there comes my grandmom (mom's mother) (i call her ammamma) on september 7th 2008 to help me and mom to settle down. But i was in my mom's tummy, and mom was very cool without any trouble (touchwood) so it became boring for her to stay in cold weather without much work to do around.
On 13th of september i.e. after my grandmom came.. with help of all friends, dad and ammamma arranged a babyshower for mom. That was quiet good and to everyones suprise most of the aunties worn blue color saree, u know y???????? yeahhhhh its becoz i am a boy.
Then days were passing around any on one fine day, mom, dad, ammamma decide to finalise my name then they decided 3 best names and put them in 3 differents chits. Then i helped my mom to pick my name by hitting her in her tummy when she was about to pick the chit with the name Surya, becoz i love my name.
And on other day when my family was watching a hindi movie , there they could see hero name as "Bunty", they liked it and from then they are calling me Bunty at home.
Then there comes the final month of mom's pregnancy, and mom and dad are both were sick of waiting for me soo long, they were insisting me to come out into this world from mom's tummy as soon as possible.
So to their wish, i came early than i was scheduled. There comes the final day of mom's pregnancy, on oct 6th when my mom was sleeping her water broke then called to the hospital, then staff at hospital asked my mom to come at 8:30 in the morning on 7th of october 2008. Then they tested mommy and said that its going to be a big day for them. Then poor mommy has gone through all the hardtimes in getting me out into this world safely. With all confusions whether its a c-section or normal deliver or whether it going to be on the same day or have to wait for one more day the time was passing on.... but dad wanted to be on that day as he loves number 7 , so to his wish again i came into this world giving a bit trouble to mommy and with a shyface(keeping my left hand on my chin).
So there ends my birthstory on 7th of October 2008 at 11:13 PM according to daylight saving time in Australia.
Here are my Birth Details:
Height: 50cm Weight: 3.4kgs Haircolor: Black Eyescolor: Black (Dad was bit upset bcoz at the time of birth my eyes were toooooooo small.)
Citizenship: Australian Blood: Indian (bcoz it was my parents..so till i know my blood group it is Indian)
