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.

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.)
