Hello again...We're back!

Sorry y'all! It has been awhile since the last post and we're sorry. Between looking for jobs, researching grad schools to apply to, going on interviews, etc. the blog got left behind. But we are back! Ra has gotten so big. We will find out exactly how big in 10 days. Let's just say that he is now wearing clothes for 9 to 12 month olds. HE IS ONLY 4 MONTHS OLD!!!!! Well, in the first post we were talking about Ra's elusive smile and how we could never really catch him on film. We have now, although Ra definitely didn't make it easy:) Isn't he cute! He has almost mastered sitting up on his own and, as of a couple weeks ago, he began laughing. Another thing we have discovered is that Ra has become quite the ladies man. He is one of the biggest flirts we have seen in a long time. In the presence of women he is all dimples and cuddles. Wonder where he got that from??? HMMM! Like father, Like Son! The last thing we have discovered is that he has begun to teethe. Everything is fair game...clothing, fingers, toys & shoulders all get chewed on. He is also not stingy with the drool...everybody gets some. He has been a bit cranky in the evenings, but he fights naps like the plague. He is not fond of teething rings, so toys and fingers have become his favorite substitutes. We pray that this phase is not long lived, so that he can be his charming self in the night time, as well as the day. Here is Ra sitting calmly (for the time being) with his Auntie Imani.
Peace & Luv,
Des, Hasan & Ra
