It has been so hard to free up time to update Joaquin's blog. I am going to skip ahead because it seems so much happens every day and trying to catch up is nearly impossible. I have pictures I want to upload and a funny story I want to tell.

It is amazing to watch his progress. He is much, much more interactive than he was when my parents visited. When they were here in early November, you could coax a litte smile out of Joaquin. Now, he looks at you, smiles, coos and even makes noises to get your attention. It is so much more satisfying for me to get some interaction from him rather than just screams and yells.


Here are a few pics of Joaquin sitting on Grandma Hintz's lap. I think this might be one of his first smiles ever captured on film (memory card :o))


Two peas in a pod! We don't want Thor too close to him because he is a bit jealous. Thor will step right on top of the little guy. You can even find Thor sleeping in his bassinet.

Bad Kitty!

Grandpa Hintz holding Joaquin.

HEY! Whachu lookin' at Sucka! His face has gotten so much fatter, it makes me laugh!


What more is there really to say...THE CUTEST KID IN THE WORLD! I know, it's my son, but I am unbiased!

Here is a picture of Penny, her sister Jessica, her mother and little Joaquin.
Ladies, please forgive me if I chose photos you do not approve of.
It is the happy little Hintz family!

Here is Joaquin with Grandpa Kelley. He was wiped out after the photo shoot and filling his diaper!

What a killer smile! Wait until he gets some teeth!

Ok, Joaquin is bored of pictures, so we will upload more later...

We will leave you with a picture taken by Penny's sister of the happy family and a funny story about a trip to the doctor's office.

Penny had her 6 week check up at the doctor's office. So, I met her there so I could look after Joaquin while she was in with the doctor. She called me and told me she was leaving, so I left work to meet her there. I was surprised when I saw her car there when I arrived. The waiting room was pretty full, so I quickly surveyed the room and I didn't see her. I felt bad because the whole reason I was there was to occupy Joaquin while she went in with the doctor and I was too late. So, I sat down and was looking for a magazine when I heard a baby cry. I immediately knew it was Joaquin and looked to the corner of the room. There was Penny and Joaquin!!

It is amazing that you can hear a child cry and know immediately if it is your child. I never knew I had that in me...I guess I am becoming the father I never knew I could be!
