joel - the first year

2 months

People always comment that Joel is 'stout' or 'chubby'. I guess it's just a nicer way of saying 'fat'. Yes, I see those "extra lines" on his arms and thighs, and fear that he's slowly becoming the Michelin man. ;p

Whenever he's outside and makes some noise, well-meaning aunties and grandmas will tell me "He's hungry, he's hungry... See, he stick out his tongue" But it seems our baby loves to play with his tongue - even when he's NOT hungry. Heehee... ;p

Maybe all that eating is making Joel a strong little baby. At 3 weeks, he's able to turn his head from left to right while lying on his stomach. At 1 month, he's able to lift it up. Recently, he suddenly realised the toys on his bed (just above his head where he sleeps), and can lift his head up high for a few minutes...then rests and lifts it up again. I'm looking forward to the time when he can do a flip, sit, stand, walk, run...and SHOP with me! ;)

The sounds he makes now are...ang-gu...an-groo...ah...aii...eerr...hehehe...hi...hello...angry... Yes (!!!), and he sure looks ANGRY! Haha...

Hi jo!
Joel sure is getting ready for some big stuff! Enjoy every moment with him, even now - when he hasn't mastered the skill of crawling or walking yet. Last time before Noah could do anythg, i wished he was walking or moving around. Now that he can walk, i wish he can just sit and be still. But he just caaannn't! Haha! So cherish the moments when Joel is still quiet and not mobile yet. ;)
