Our last day in Kochi - Annika can't get enough of the grandparents

- Опубліковано 10 вер 2024
- We took Annika and my North Indian in-laws on a nice little holiday to Kochi, Kerala in October as a Diwali gift. It was so good to be able to take Mommy and Daddy to explore the famous areas of Mattancherry, Jew Town and Fort Kochi as I showed on previous videos. But even more than that Vinod and I were just happy to take them to travel, on a proper family holiday with the experience of staying at a fancy hotel like Le Meridien Kochi. So on our last day there we did our very best to enjoy the property's beautiful pool garden area before having to return home to Payyanur by train. The Indian Railways in Kerala offer yet another stunning tourist experience so we weren't too sad to go back, especially considering that we needed to start the preparations for Annika's first Diwali :)

› ABOUT ME
My name is Johanna North. I’m a Finnish woman travelling in India since 2016. In 2019 I married and began living with my husband in the state of Kerala in southern India. In 2021 we welcomed our baby girl into this world. On this channel I share videos on blending our Finnish-Indian family life, culture, food and travel mostly in India, and sometimes in Finland too.

Annika looks cute and sweet when she waves to the boy saying "come" and calling him "bhaiya"😂😂😂. She's so very friendly. I think in another six months she'll be speaking with sentences stringed well. Keep posting more vlogs Johanna, I'm always looking forward to see Annika. Sometimes I watch the past ones and would say to myself - how fast this little baby has grown now. With the cute legs she's running all over to explore ☺️☺️
This was in October and she actually speaks with sentences already! Mostly 2-3 word simple sentences but also some really long ones and many sentences in a row 🤯😊 we’ll soon be missing her cute baby babble too. It’s exciting but also a little sad to watch her grow this quickly ❤
It's true Johanna. As parents we miss their coos and babbling as they grow up.
O. M. G. Annika telling the little boy on the train to “Come” and calling him “Brother” was the CUTEST thing ever! Will there be a baby sibling in her future 😂
No siblings but we hope to teach Annika to consider her friends as extended family of brothers and sisters too 😊❤
She's quite the conversationalist already 😂❤ and that too in 2 languages which is nice.
That's super awesome of Annika. She makes friends with everyone. May she remain always blessed, joyful and full of happiness. You are truly role models in raising up the kids. Vinods mom is the happiest grandmother now. Her two grandchildren, Annika and Yug, she must be in ninth heaven and does not mind taking care of them. Never seen a woman being so equanimity with both daughter and daughter in law. Kudos
For Annika, everyone is friends and family :) and we are trying to teach her to view people (and animals!) as that so that she will be this kind always :)
Your vlogs always fill me with a sense of warmth and love. What you said about Indian parents is so true and I'm so happy to see that Vinod's parents are getting to enjoy themselves with their children. When dadi said she never thought they'd experience something like this. I had tears in my eyes. I don't think there is anything more satisfying than being able to make some of your parent's dreams come true. You're such a pure and loving soul, Johanna. May God always bless you❤️ Anika is such a gregarious little baby😍repeatedly watched her interaction with the other child on the train...her use of all three of the languages she knows is just brilliant and so endearing 💕
Gauri I agree with everything you say. My parents are Indian and they never felt they shud have their own time, and all time shud be dedicated to family and children. Indian culture is so loving. And I saw more of that through Annika's interaction with the little boy on the train. Gauri my sister has the same name as you but here's is spelt Gouri. Anyway my name is Kas (Short for Kaveri) I was born and raised in England and my parents were born and raised in Punjab. I recently spent 3 whole years travelling around India discovering my roots!!!! ❤️
Hopefully one day we will able to take them abroad too, to visit Finland and maybe see snow, because I’m sure that would be even more exciting and dreamy than this ❤ this is why it is also fun for me to try to plan visits to India for my family, especially my mom because for her exploring ancient countries like India or China has been a lifelong dream!
@@JohannaNorth that would be amazing to see🤞😊. Watching your mom take in all the sights and sounds in India and really relish it all was such a joy to watch...can't wait to see her again. 💕
Annika is a fast learner ,she is speaking hindi fluently..I love watching your videos ,such a happy baby girl..
From getting frightened near sea to playing in the sand to jumping in the pool, she has come a long way.... cuteness overload #cuteOP
Annika is growing so fast and with her hair tied back it shows off her beautiful face. She's doing so well with her languages too. Vinod's parents are such a lovely couple. It's so nice to see you all having another great day together.😊
I like Annika a lot when she said bhaiya AA jao it's cute .
It is lovely watching you all together, specially Annika with her grandparents ❤️
Anikka's ponytails reminds me of own daughter when she was that age.😊
Ahhh bless cute ❤️
Little princess Annika speaking Hindi so cute 😘love to see Annika enjoying with her grandparents, thanks Johanna for the wonderful video's, looking forward to more of your video's ❤️❤️❤️
Janet I love how Annika speaks Hindi, Finnish and English. ❤️❤️❤️ I'm British Indian and spent years travelling round India discovering my roots. As I went to different states I picked up Hindi, Malayali, Kannada etc
The place, food, family and train rides!… so beautiful. Indian parents never say thank you or praise for anything but happiness and joy in their eyes is just so pure. And cutest charming and joyful Annika just steals the heart every time. Love seeing you Johanna swimming with Anika and your pink dress lots of love and blessings❤️🥰
It is also the most fun for me to try to give family lots of unforgettable experiences and cherished memories 🥰 btw, Mommy stitched my dress as per my design!
@@JohannaNorth yes, places you have been talking to them and things you do for them is just outstanding and very rare.
You both together can start a clothing design!😍👏
Annika, a multilingual as well as smart toddler.
Elizabetta I love Annika's multi lingual life. She's so enriched with her cultural package. WOW ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Watching Annika is a stress buster she always gives you a good vibe may God bless her 😘🤩🥰🥰❤️❤️
what a wonderfully intelligent and friendly little girl you are raising! she is such a delight.
How wonderful and sweet of y’all to gift dada and dadi with a wonderful trip with you, Vinod and Annika. What special memories y’all made🥰🥰🥰
It’s a lot of fun for me too to give these kinds of unforgettable experiences and memories to family ❤
When anika speak hindi it will turned into a beautiful language because of her innocence and purity
What you said is so true ..parents in India tend to avoid any kind of splurges in themselves….and that gives us the chances to gift them such experiences like how you and Vinod did…..I pick up the best of single malts whenever possible for my dad …and the joy of having a drink with him is priceless…..thanks Johanna for sharing such beautiful videos …and indeed Idiappam banana Bahut mushkil hai 😁…take care god bless you Vinod Annika uncle and aunty 🙏🏻
It definitely might be most fun for me to be able to gift these kinds of unforgettable experiences and cherished moments to our family ☺️
Nice vlog 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Really appreciate you, the way you keep family values 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻respecting his parents and taking care of them.
Positivity around.
This video is really very beautiful of Annika's full of activities, her fast walking and papa papa calling is so sweet, her happiness in swimming pool, spending time with Dada, dadi, feeding mummy, watching mobile phone and lastly in train her enjoyment was watchable.... It's a lovely video of sweet Annika❤️
Surprised the Hotel surroundings are so large with water bodies
By the time she is six, she could at least speak four languages, Hindi, English, Finnish and Malayalam. That's going to be epic😃
Little Anika is very happy :) lol she said "bhaiya" come 😘
Johanna my heart warms and eyes teary hearing you speak highly of Vinod’s parents and including them in your journeys, learn their language, spending time with them and so much more🙏 🙏 they are blessed to have you 🙏. You are “laakhon mein ek”🇨🇦
We'd do the same thing for my family if we were in the same country :) And I have also spent a lot of time with my grandparents growing up! Family is important to most Finns too :) My mom would speak the same way about my dad's parents always.
I think Annika is very very attached to her papa. She always call her papa only. So sweet to watch her father ND daughter love. Lots of ppl learn from Annika'S father. How to protect a daughter
She’s Daddy’s girl 🥰
I have watched your videos on and off and love seeing Annika's antics and have enjoyed her growing up🥰.
She's a lovely independent friendly child. Loved the way she was calling out to the child.
God Bless😘😍
It's pleasure to see her cute smile always.. Love ❤ dear Annika
You are making memories to last a lifetime,wonderful to involve the parents in your holiday
Hi Johanna, very nice gathering which is absolutely fantastic. I see Annika growing and she is so lucky to have such a caring family. Thank you for sharing your happy moments with us. 🙏🙏💓💓💓
Lovely ....Annika. you alwsys fill my heart with warmth
Annika makes me happy..
Sometimes tears coming from my eyes .. this angle taks my pain away..
Enjoy so much when I see Annika. She is lucky to live with grandparents ❤️
Vinod your daughter is so beautiful spitting image of dadi with Johanna’s colour
Oh my goodness Annika can say so many Hindi words. Amazing
Awesome vlogs, you looks and present the Indian culture to in law the humanity. To good god blessing you. Thanks
Yes there's alot of humanity in indian culture isnt there ❤️ I travelled in India for 3 years as a solo female traveller and I experienced alot of compassion and humanity. But still, I needed to be careful as well ❤️
Annika looking pretty in pony 😘
Being a foreigner she respects her in-laws a lot which is not expected from Indian Bahu of this generation.
V lucky in-laws
Thank you for posting
Good see vinod how he treats his father mother.. god bless him..
Can't wait to SEE you with a 100k
Wow, what a wonderful video, enjoyed every minute of it! Annika is so adorable, from a moth to a beautiful butterfly, if I may! Watched her calling the little boy...ajaa, come, down! Whatever she does, she makes sure papa is always near her. This sweetie is so nice to watch. You are so nice with your in laws, including them, and making conversation in hindi! I admire you for this kind caring gesture. Thanks for sharing. God bless you and your great family. Hugs to Annika.
Thank you so much for your generous compliments! I'm sure any daughter- or son-in-law would do their best to be able to communicate with their parents-in-law and be a part of the family, just like also my in-laws do their best to make themselves understood or my mom went to English classes so she'd be able to speak with Vinod :)
Happy family Lovely couple cute Annika so sweet baby god bless you 🙌❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👌👌👍
wow your kid grows up so fast,
Very beautiful video.. Thanks 😍 love from ABUDHABI UAE 🇦🇪
Hello Johanna Vinod and Annika 😮👋👀she is enjoying swimming 🏊♀️ lovely ♥️😮👋
Anika LOOKS like HER grandma
I saw such an amazing likeness in Annika's face to Vinod's Mom, at an early point in the video (the close ups in the boat). She has certainly adapted to where ever she is , & the words just keep building. I'm so happy to hear (from your comment in another post) of potential travel plans for all of the family members Johanna. It's sad that Dadi & Dada must part with you again, but there's so much more ahead. Thanks again for sharing some of your time J. Love to you all. 💋❤.
charming ponytail hairstyle for Annika....CUTE....
@7:29 -- omg so adorable! "come, bhaiya, come... down... aaja!" Your kid is just precious. So lovable and social! Is she now speaking all three languages? I think Vinod's parents speak Hindi?
ANNIKA IS GORGEOUS
Annika reminds me of my younger sister. She used to be exactly like Annika is in that train. So nice!!
Hope Annika gets to learn Malayalam as well. It really is a beautiful language and quite difficult to learn after one gets older
It is so wonderful to watch our adorable Annika talk 🥰🥰
Annika would look nice in a swimming costume😊
What a wonderful time all of you had! Vinod's parents certainly did deserve the beautiful trip to Kochi. Family is so important. I am truly amazed how Annika is developing and growing in leaps and bounds. You are such a beautiful, sweet and smart girl Annika. I really enjoy watching you as you explore the world around you with mommy, daddy, dada and dadi. You are an amazing story teller Johanna. I truly enjoy your videos. Thank you for sharing your beautiful adventures with us. I hope mummie is doing well. Hugs and Kisses.❤❤💔💔💋💋
I love the way Anika say Papa Papa 😀
Thank you for sharing these beautiful moments 💖
Always look forward to your new vlogs
A 9 minutes vedio is tooooo short to watch Annikas cute activities 😊even if u post an hour long vedio we won't get bored watching this little girl 😘
Most people dont choose to watch 60min videos though - only Annika fans maybe! 😅❤
@@JohannaNorth yea... Only for Annika😄😄😄

Awww.. my anika cutie pie 😚😚😍
My favourite vlogger 💫💞💫
Love your vlogs.
may god bless you all . jai shri krishna
I really love to watching your's blogs.. it's really relaxing for me... 🤞🤞 Hope to soon 10 million subscribers...
Let’s bring it to one lakh first 🙏😄 have a great, relaxing Sunday!
I am a father of a daughter who is one heck of a girl but I won't mind Annika to be my second daughter. No offence but I love her.
Arnika muhaa she is very much intelligent 🤓 Hindi quite so good.
Ahhhhhh GORGEOUS vlog 🥰 Johanna I also found the Kerala train rides to be v scenic. I like how you sat in the hotel and talked about sabjee and raita. I understand fluent hindi but I get tired when speaking it. (Not sure if you know but both my parents are Indian, and I was born and raised in the UK). OMG when you were discussing dada and Dadi's favourite Kerala food with them I felt sooooo EXCITED. Esp about south Indian Mysore Dosa. I will always prefer south India to north India. Annika is such a loving child. Calling her little friend on the train her bhua (bro) soooooooo SWEET. Johanna I know form watching your vlogs that from the.bottom of my heart I will live on the road again for a v long time ❤️
Ps... Hope you enjoyed your Diwali celebs ❤️ Having lived in both Kerala and the UK I feel that Diwali is far more celebrated in the UK than it is in Kerala. We embrace the festival of lights along with Western festivals. ❤️
I can definitely understand how it could be tiring to speak a language one's not very fluent in. Heck, sometimes I get tired with English too and I'm very fluent :'D But trying to find ways to express the things you want to say when you don't have the words for it or trying to sound intelligent in a foreign language... It's a lot of work!
OMG can't wait to watch 😀❤️🎥
ha ha ha ..bhaiya come,,,,,down...come...aaja
Bhayyaaa come ♥
Wow u video shoot amazing
Enjoy it
If you love train journeys. you have to do Trivandrum to Mumbai in monsoon. It is THE most spectacular train journey. Just amazing. Also Bangalore to Mangalore in the vista dome!! :)
4:27 Since making idiyappam is harsh on hands, it is better if men squeeze the dough through (for both press type and screw type). Getting the dough in the right consistency needs some practice.
Check You tube videos on how to make idiyappam. 👍
Johanah if possible pliz make a video interaction with European tourist...
💐💐💐
luv u baby annika❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hai Johanna sis😇✨HOW ARE YOU ?......which is the favourite food for Annika #LOVE YOU SO MUCH My Fam✨💖
She loves roti and paratha 😊
@@JohannaNorth 🙃😋yummy
What vinod do for living?
Johnna ji🙏,app ki beti pura hindi bhath ker rahi hai😊😊🥰 bhohugh hasi aya app tho her vakth finish me bath kerthe ho pls my sunna chahithi hu thaki Annika ka Finnish wala vedio pls do one blog with Annika Finnish language if u don't mind dear Johanna.
Nice Sweety
Bhaia, come 😂😂😂
to increase viewership, start learning hindi and speak as much as possible in vlog u will see your views will automatically increase because most of the Indian can connect with u with Hindi
Her viewers are mainly from South India. If she starts speaking Hindi, then we won't be able to understand and she will lose followers from here.
Annika speak Hindi words
Yes Annika prefers Hindi the most 😊
@@JohannaNorth don't be sad.. she will speak finish when she grows up. The kid is small. Doesn't understand too much. She speaks what she understand and like. I know you must feel little disheartened. It's okay.
👍
@@SPbest2222 i wouldnt say i’m sad. Annika understands Finnish really well and knows how to speak it too, but her preference currently is English and especially Hindi which we expected living in a country and a community where it is the majority language and it being her dad’s native/family language too. Most people around Annika speak Hindi but only i speak Finnish so it’s not surprising 😊
She needs a brother or sister to play with.
You could dress properly a little bit Johanna.
Hallo John you not eating food 🥑 you too much slim what happened and you and Anika always old clothes you were 🆕 clothes you not going shopping 🛍️ hall what happened 🙏🎎🙋
Yay johanna love ur wholesome videos
Yes Johannas videos are definitely wholesome. I found her channel whilst I was living and travelling in Kerala. That was in 2020, and I have watched her vlogs ever since ❤️😀
