Yep, that’s right, Kai is going through the Akinyele phase and everything he grabs he puts in his mouth. Here he is trying to fit his furry little friend, Mr. Sapito, in his mouth. I guess the “fur” on his tongue doesn’t really bother him.
Kai enjoys a fun filled afternoon with his cousins during Sunday brunch. This was a great day for him; he didn’t fuss, cry, nor complain about anything (almost). He was quite at first, in and out of naps; but once the fun started with the cousins he was excited. Hmmm, maybe he needs a little brother?
For some strange reason Kai has the face of an adult-baby (yeah, I said adult-baby) when he sleeps. It’s the strangest thing. Here he is doing what daddy does best; sleeping on the couch.
So Kai had his 3 month doctor’s appointment on March 1st, and much to our surprise the doctor diagnosed him with being a bit too “stiff” and in need of a workout. Being the dad that I am, I immediately started him on push-ups, sit ups, and pull ups routine. Unfortunately he refused to do any of that stuff, and requested to be put in the play gym. There he is, having fun and working those muscles.
In the beginning, taking a bath was not one of Kai’s favorite activities; especially since it was more like a scrub down really, and not a “real” bath. Being the music lover that I am, I made up a song on the fly for whenever it was time for him to get a “scrub down”.
Kai is taking a shower
and he’s not crying
and he’s not crying
he’s a big boy
Believe me, it’s better sung than written. Anyway, now that he’s bigger and is able to take more of a “real” shower, his attitude has completely changed, especially once I start singing the shower song. This is a picture of before the song, and during the song.
Hands on Bottle
For as long as I can remember, Kai has always made some sort of an attempt to manage his bottle. At a few weeks old he would ball up his fist and place them on the sides of the bottle as if to say “keep away, this is mine”. Now he’s actually able to open his hands, put them on the bottle, but he can’t quite get a grip just yet. Keep working at it little buddy!
So on carnival Sunday, we decided to take Kai out to the Panamanian West Indian Fair. As you can see, he was clearly having a good time doing what he loves. Loud music!? No problem, I can sleep through that, as long as it’s constant. This was during The Beachers’ performance.
So, Kai was invited to his first pool party, and he didn’t hesitate to RSVP with a “do I really have to wear diapers in the pool!?!” Lucky for him, they sell some especially for these type of situations, so he went with the “Finding Nemo” pool diaper. While he seemed to be relaxed and somewhat enjoying himself in the picture, he wasn’t a fan of the experience, mainly because the water was a bit too cold for his preference. Maybe next time if the temperature is right he can reminisce about his days in the uterus.
This was Kai’s second outing. We decided to leave the adventure for another day, and we actually went back to the same spot as last time; Balboa, by the Panama Canal Administration building. By the looks of this picture, I think he likes it there.
Kai smiles a lot when he’s sleeping. I could only imagine what he’s dreaming about that brings him so much joy (pooping or breast milk probably). But on this rare occasion, I was lucky enough to get him smiling while awake. Priceless!
