18th May 2007 - I had to visit Dr Woo today for my 15 month check up. Its a routine check to see how I am doing. I am 33 1/2 inches tall and 24 pounds 2 oz heavy. I am very tall yet average weight  for toddlers my age. I told him that I walk on my own comfortably, eat many things, babble something. The doctor said that I was fine and there was nothing to worry about. So far so good, I thought I was all done, but then Nurse Stacy came and gave me a shot. Bam!! I cried for a couple of minutes and then I was OK. She put a nice Batman band-aid on my arm.

After that we went to Costco, Albertsons and did some of our weekly shopping. We then went to a new Persian restaurant called Javan Restaurant in Santa Monica. I liked the food and I entertained all the people around me. It was a fun day except for the shot.

May 7th, 2007 - As I have crossed 14th months, it looks like I have started to observe things a lot and like to imitate things that others around me do. Some of things that I do are "Oh thats so cute" , but some of things that I do probably upset my parents like when I turn the TV on and off.

I have reduced putting things in my mouth but I want to reach out at everything. My parents have made sure that most of the things are beyong my reach, but I almost managed to out smart them one day. Unfortunately, it was caught on tape :-(

Its been a tough few days for me and my parents with the stomach flu of mine, but its all gone now. My stomach seems to be OK now but my parents want me to be on Pedialyte for another day before I return to drinking milk. Looks like I am making up for the 2-3 days of mischief today.

May 1st, 2007 - Its International Labour Day, but it not a holiday here, dad had to go to work. They say April Showers bring May Flowers, but it looks like May had brought me sickness. I seem to have caught a stomach virus which is really bad. Apparently the first attacke is very difficult for babies because our immune system cannot handle it.

My parents took me to Dr Woo. He checked me out to make sure I have no other problem such as fever and I checked out OK there, thankfully. He said that there is nothing he can do to treat this and that it will work itself out over the next few days.  The main thing is apparently to keep my hydrated and also change my diet. He recommended that I drink plenty of water or Pedialyte. He also asked me to stop milk and have more starchy foods such as rice and potatoes. Lets hope I get well soon.  

April 29th, 2007  - There are many people in the world who want to watch a Lakers game and Amiya uncle is on of them. He wanted to see a live game and what better game than a play-off game. My father managed to get tickets for all of to go and watch the Lakers play the Suns in Game 4 of the 2007 playoffs. Lucky me, I have no idea but I was excited just to go out.

The game was at 12:30 and so we left a little early. We drove into downtown LA to pick up the tickets and my father got a little lost as there were a lot of street closures that day. We finally managed to get the tickets and reached the Staples Center. It was a major party scene there. I was quiet when the game started but as the Lakers started trailing, I think I got bored and started troubling my father. I took a nap during half-time even though the band was playing right next to me. The rest of the game I was running around.

The Lakers lost and should be out of the play-offs. :-(
