We have had such a great first week with our sweet Joaquin (which is pronounced 'Wa-keen'!) He is a miracle child and a gift from the Lord. We chose his name for 2 reasons. First, it is Carlos's Grandfather's name. Second, it means, God will establish. God really has established Joaquin in our life as a huge show of God's love. We are overwhelmed!!!!! Praise Him. Things are going well....sleep is scarce, but Joaquin is eating well and sleeping some. He is healthy and he is doing great.
He absolutely loves to use his arms for everything. We have to swaddle him to feed him, and it never fails that his arms start to work their way up to his face. He must have spent a lot of time like that in the womb!!!

He also has been very alert! He has Carlos's big brown eyes, which I think are so adorable (I'm a little bias!!)
