Now Weighing in at 8kg (17lbs 6oz)!

The following pictures are from my 22nd week of life (Mama's still a bit behind, but she's trying hard to catch up).
One of my favorite daily activities--sitting and singing with my Gogo.
I eagerly wait everyday for Gogo's arrival. She always sings me the same song in Kalenjin and I am usually all smiles. Today I just didn't feel like smiling for the camera.
Baba and I were having a photo shoot.
Mama took me to the clinic this week for my monthly weight check. As you can see by the rolls in my thighs, I'm still off the top of the charts...now weighing 8kg (17lbs 6oz).
Finally, the day I had been waiting for arrived this week...Mama gave me my first taste of something besides breastmilk. What was on the menu today? Nothing other than butternut squash from our shamba (farm)! Though my face does not show it, it was delicious. Thanks, Mama! And thanks to Baba for planting the squash.
Oh, I just love my squash!
Yummy!
My big brother, Solomon, loves to hold me and entertain me. He sings lots of songs to me.
Mama says that I probably weigh almost as much as Solomon!
Sporting my new hat from Gogo and Agui. I can count on them to keep me in style.
Sunday afternoon on the veranda with Baba and Solomon, drinking chai and watching the cows graze.

I can now grab my fishy all by myself and make it play music. Watch out, I've got a strong grip.
