Last evening Vidur was amidst his grannies (my mom, two aunts and my grand mother). He was initially shy, but soon he was was himself. He played peek-a-boo with my mother. He found things to grab and yank onto the floor. He was babbling all the time. My mother asked whether he was a good boy and he started shaking his head. You can him any question and as if he really understands he starts shaking his head. His answer is always negative.
Mom and I managed to feed him successfully. He did try spitting some of it out. But we realized the trick. We gave him Sambar rice and then Curd rice. So by the time he got bored of the new taste, we were through feeding him.
My grand mom is a big fan of Idea Star Singer (Asianet). So everyone settled around the TV to watch. Vidur realized that attention was no longer on him. He decided that this called for something big! If you haven't guessed it yet... My son took his first steps (six to be precise). I always thought that it would mother's love that will make a child stand and walk toward her. I am sure you have seen this is on all baby commercials. But this was not the case with me... My son had his back to me! He was was not even looking at me!! He wanted to attract the attention of his grannies. Anyway, I will lick my wounds later.
Vidur conitnued to walk a few steps over and over again. According to my mom, he looked like he was walking on the moon. It was really funny in a very endearing sort of way. After I got him back to my place, I encouraged him to walk so that Rajeev could see this. But, he refused to do so. Today, he hasn't tried to walk. I have tried everything possible. He looks at me as if to say have I ever done that before. I guess he needs more motivation to walk and that has a lot to with grannies!

Not exactly. :) He took two steps and Rajeev got really excited. Vidur then flashed a smile and promptly sat down! So still waiting...
