So we were reading about "tummy time" this morning and how its good for the baby to strengthen neck muscles etc... and we thought we would try it. As we put Malaki on his tummy within minutes he flipped his whole body over. We thought "he isn't even 3 weeks yet, surely this is impossible". We would like to say possible! We put him for the second time on his tummy and in under 2 minutes once again he flipped his whole body over. Usually the norm would be 2-3 months at earliest from what we read, how amazing strong is our little man! We also wanted to give a nice glimpse of the moment his cord fell off, on our anniversary June 3rd! Malaki amazes us daily by his strength, alertness and just loving personality. We go Friday to get his passport and birth certificate in the capital... how funny it will be to have a passport picture with a 3 week year old on it! Something to remember and keep as a precious moment in the end I guess! Something Malaki has been famous for recently is making sure every time we go to change his diaper and are literally moving the dirty one away and putting the clean one, he loves to pee EVERYWHERE! Isai and I have a nice technique we have been using to not get pee all over, its fun moments we share together laughing. All our love...
Here is Malaki... almost 3 weeks old and getting so big! In this photo, he is sleeping just like his daddy. Its very cold here in Muramvya; when we try to tuck his hands in the blanket to keep him warm, he throws his hands up and wiggles them out somehow every time... just like his daddy of course. Isai can't sleep all bundled up either. Its amazing to see different traits he has that are just like us! Here are also our "princess's" Maya is 1 year and Kay is about 6 months. They are always funny to be around, we thought at one point that Maya was pregnant because her nipples were so swollen; come to find out Kay had been licking and sucking on them. (We caught her in the act!) Kay is our very emotional dog... Isai says they get the word Chaos from Kay. As for us, we are doing good; getting used to our days broken in 3 hour intervals feed, burp, change, put to sleep (and have about 2 hours to get things done) until the next intervals! Enjoying our new life with our amazing little one. We have been reading the books of Malachi and Daniel to our son lately just thinking about the impact he will one day make upon this world. We love and miss you all greatly and long for the days where we can be together again. All our love...
Today was a sad day. Isai was looking in on the farm animals and right before his eyes, our big aggressive rooster pecked at one of the baby chicks and snapped its neck. As the mother saw this, she began stomping and being very protective... and accidentally stomped on another one of the baby chicks snapping its neck. There are 3 remaining... As for me, I say we eat that mean aggressive rooster. Everyone who enters the chicken house has to carry a stick, just to protect themselves from him trying to attack... I hope before the end of the week he is sitting nicely on our plates to be eaten! Also pictured above are our baby rabbits; we have 3 also, one being albino. Many of you were asking to see some of our farm animals, so here they are! All our love...
