Four Months!

Makai is now officially 4 months old and 20lbs of handsome cute chunkiness!! One of the things he enjoys right now is being sung to by Nana. A couple times a week she'll come up and hold Makai and sing to him. Sunday when she picked him up and started singing he started to giggle. This is the first verse of the song she sings:
Tuli mai Tuli mai
Tuli mai Tuli mai
Tuli mai le Aitu
ma le sau'ai a
maua e ai.
I jokingly asked, "What are you singing to my baby?!" She said, it's about two ghosts chasing each other and whoever loses gets eaten! Hello! The second verse is even stranger...it's about some guy with a hairy back chasing some girls? No wonder he laughs.
I thought this picture was funny. What is Makai enjoying so much? The basketball game! Yep...like father like son! Then I had to take these pictures just to show his size.
Remember at two weeks Michelle took a cute picture of Monty and Makai. Well...thankfully we have a memory because he's a different baby now!

We love you Buddha!

Dude.... either Monty is getting smaller or Makai is just a whole chunk of Buddah Lovin. I absolutely love his thighs... That song that Sereisa sings is hilarious. Believe it or not, many Samoan women sing that to babies. I never understood why though because it is a pretty scary song when you think about the actual meaning of the song. In fact, I tend to sing along when they do it...lol..

:) Love the "scare your kid to sleep" tactic! My grandma used to sing us a sing about a girl and boy who were supposed to get married and the girl went and hid in a chest and the groom couldn't find her and she ended up dying there. Lovely huh?

Makai is seriously cute. I love all that chubbiness!
