Rishab is learning cycling (or Tricycling?) these days. Although its very cold these days (around 5-10 degree C) Rishab never hesitates to go out in the cold.
Rishab learning cycling
He calls it bishlow. He still doesn’t understand how to cycle, but likes it when it moves. He will eventually learn it.

Rishab attended Anushka’s birthday this weekend. He sure seemed to enjoy the company of lot of kids around and playful atmosphere.
Rishab attending Anushka's 2nd birthday.
This is Anushka’s second birthday and last year we attended her first birthday too. He did poke his finger in the cake and taste how it was even before the cake was cut and so did Anushka.
He seem to have learnt what a b’day cake is, how to blow the candle and many more things.

When we talk about offering Orange juice to Rishab he immediately says Shugadaa, shaalt. Meaning add Sugar and Salt to the juice. Refer to Rishab’s dictionary.
He demands for Marshmallows often and so far it his favorite. We give him plenty as they arent as sweet and sticky as other chocolates and feel healthy.
If something slips or drops from him hand he says “Oh no” or “Oh Man..!”
When he wants to watch TV, brings the remote to us and says press(the button to start the TV)
He watches cartoons regularly and the most common channels are Sprout, Discovery kids, Disney, Cartoon network and Boomerang. If we want to change the channel, first we have to switch on the laptop and start Pluto. This is the only way to divert Rishab’s attention from the TV.

Rishab traveled in a street car for the first time in New Orleans. It was about 50 degrees outside so it wasnt fun for us to wait for the street car.
Although Rishab was speculative and a little scared (may because he didn’t have a car seat?) but found it very interesting after some time. We changed the street car twice before we returned to the same point where we started. It mostly went around Mississippi river near Jackson square.
He still remembers it and keeps calling it a train.

As of today Rishab’s vocabulary contains these words. There are lot more words which arent documented here.
Will try to make a video of his words and add here.

Then he visited some hourse saying “Trick or treat” and collecting chocolates and other treats from them.

Rishab is 19 months old. His world is still limited to cartoons, toys & few people he meets(ofcourse only few important onces are remembered). Usually after getting up from the bed, he keeps staring at us or keep quite for 10-15 minutes before he gets in to his normal mood. Yesterday afternoon immediately after he woke up, He was in a pleasant mood as if he was doing something and started talking to us. He said ta-tta (that means pluto a character in disney cartoon)
“Babba” (that means bubble gum, again in one of the cartoon pluto eats bubble gum). He has never tasted/tried a bubblegum yet, “Aash..” (that means ice..ice cube to be specific). He used all these words in succession.
Looks like Rishab had a dream and he saw Pluto, bubble gum, and ice cream in his dream…
What a beautiful & contented world… He just desires for such simple things in his dreams. Thats why he has so much of happiness.
