Then (3/1): Still willing to let Dad help him drink from a water sachet.
Now (9/10): I can do it myself -- and eat a fried bread ball at the same time.
Then (3/5): Baby face!
Now (9/12): All boy! I wonder what he'll think when we go home and water doesn't come in bags anymore...
Packing, cleaning and sorting have begun in earnest. Actually, I've been pleasantly surprised to find that packing to go back is WAY easier than packing to come over here. At the moment, it looks like we will have just three checked bags to deal with on our way home, and I don't even think we'll have to weigh them. My bathroom scale has not seen so much use as it did in the days (and hours) leading up to our departure in February, and all four of our checked bags were within ounces of the 50-pound weight limit. Those bags, in addition to Elliot's frame backpack a couple carry-ons and the giant monster that is his car seat, should be a cakewalk between the three (well, 2.5) of us!

Wow, it's only 2 weeks until you come home? Some days it seems like it's been forever, others it seems like it went by really fast. I'm sure you feel the same. Good luck with the packing and safe travels HOME! :)
What a cute idea to show how Elliot has matured in these past months. Lots of change and more to come for the little guy. We, too, wish the three of you safe travels. Looking forward to seeing you soon on this side of the big water.
