Grain of Rice

Joakim is just over 3 months now and is SO cute! He’s 14 lbs, 10 ozs and looking fatter and older everyday. I swear this week he started giving me kisses. He’s probably just wanting to put my chin and cheeks in his mouth like everything else, but he seems to be imitating me. I give him lots of kisses on his cheeks and play eat under his cheeks. He gets very excited and opens his mouth and goes for my cheeks and chin, giving me big wet smooches, all the while smiling and giggling. It’s so cute!!!

He continues to reach for things, grabbing and pulling at them. He actually gets frustrated when he can’t pull the toys down on his activity mat. He brings both hands together often and can lift his head to a 90 degree angle when he’s on his tummy. He’s holding his head and neck very steady almost all of the time and loves to stand when we’re holding him. He has some strong legs! In general, he is very strong.

He also continues to talk, laugh and squeal, each day getting more expressive. I wish you could hear and see him! Enjoy the new pictures!
