These three (and a half) months have been good. Challenging, but good. There were (are!) days I'm not sure I'm going to make it, but it is definitely getting better. Kioko cries a LOT. Of course, babies do cry, but he seems to cry excessively. At his two month appointment his doctor said he has colic which is why he cries so much, needs to be held all the time, hates his car seat, etc. Babies generally grow out of it by 3 or 4 months, and I'm happy to report it has already gotten so much better. She also said that colicky babies are often the ones to fly the nest early and to do very interesting things in life. So, we have that to look forward to.
Some pictures/videos from the last few weeks.

won't smile for camera. Serious. Always serious. At least Kyalo smiles!

Three Months || Oct 1 2016 || Chubby
at his 2 month appointment (Sept 19) was weighed and measured:
24 inches (65 %tile)
12 pounds 9 oz (31 %)
Our first baby who is in a higher height percentile than weight! (For comparison, Malaiakah is 2% for height!)
A perfect, spectacular fall day warranted a trip to the park. Obligatory photos followed. They did not go as hoped.
Oct 12 || working on his Elvis snarl.
Malaikah was not pleased to be plopped down into the leaves. Where's her sense of fun?
Malaikah really loves Kioko. She likes to give us full reports on him. "Koko WAKE!" "Koko CRIES!" " Where Koko?" She loves to take care of him and give him kisses (which are generally big clonking head butts to his forehead, but I captured a video of her giving a genuine kiss!)
Then there was the hand holding during songs in Music Together recently.
And then she began working on her babysitting skills this week. Keeping the kid from crying? Win. Crashing into walls? Fail. But she can only go up!
sharing her baby. he's not so sure.
proof he sleeps. occasionally.
So that takes care of the last few weeks. Here's hoping I'm not so late next month.
