Grain of Rice

Mr. Joakim is 4 months now and getting so big and fat! He was 15 lbs, 4 ozs at this past week’s pediatrician appt. He has truly found his voice and is “talking” up a storm. He is also laughing out loud a lot and this is such a joy for us (enjoy the video of this).
He is still very strong; trying to stand up on our laps all the time. He has also found his feet. He immediately grabs his feet when we put him down. He has rolled over from his back to his stomach a few times now. We are hoping that this will mean tummy sleeping is coming soon! He grabs anything in sight and then puts it into his mouth. He is a master drooler at the moment. His personality comes out more and more each day. He reacts when you take him away from something he likes or when you take away a toy he still wants. For ex, he loves the photos on our refrigerator. If I walk away before he is ready, he gets upset.
Saxton has made sure that he’s ready for baseball season. Eveyday he puts on the cubs hat or outfit and watches a spring training game with him…I guess it’s like our music, whether he likes it or not, he will have to be a part of it.
His big blue eyes still kill me! Blond hair & blue eyes are rare on this island and so everywhere we go he is quite the hit! EVERYONE stops and comments on him. Needless to say, I love it :). He is truly a handsome child.
Enjoy all the new pics and the video. Till next time….Happy Easter!
