This little guy is now 9 weeks old and his passport is almost full w/ visa and border crossing stamps. After his arrival in Thailand, we drove to Bangkok (16 hrs) to get his emergency passport then drove back one day later (16 more hrs). The next day we crossed into Laos, then 5 hours south to our town. When he was six weeks old, we were back on the road again, 18 hrs through Thailand and 18 hrs back. He is the happiest little traveler you ever did see.
Here is what I've learned about Elijah in his short 9-week lifespan.
He wrinkles his brow when he's scared, and that's almost always. He loves to bury his face in my arm... it's like he's trying to shut out the world. He sleeps through Eva's poking, grabbing, banging, and trying to shove the pacifier in his mouth. He hates to be left in a room by himself, even when he's sleeping. He loves to watch me as I work. His ears are big like mine. He has a dimple on his left cheek like Nathan. He has major difficulties with burping and this frustrates him horribly. He isn't nearly as excited about eating as Eva was. And is. He has never been to the states, and while I will probably always call that home, he just may never do that.
