Wow! The reserved and solemn Aliya has morphed into a cherubic fireball!!! She has a lot to say, a lot to grab, and a lot to throw. She is crawling with a drunken, swaying gait, and believes she can pull-up and cruise WITHOUT ANY HELP, thank you! - even though each time we let go she promptly lands on her bottom. I'm exhausted, but I'm so relieved - her staid little demeanor on our last two trips had me worried. She's quite content riding in the peanut shell sling (thanks Lorie and Rick!) and has just about outgrown this small hotel room and the small suitcase's-worth of toys we brought. She is sleeping great - 11ish hours at night without a peep, and also a nap during the day, though the actual schedule has been quite varied each day (whihc must be a shock to her, after the regimentation of the baby house). Wish I could say the asame of us - we are both very jetlagged. Hopefully we'll be able to quickly return us & her to a fixd routine once we get home. She has used the toilet three times, though she's also gone through quite a few diapers. She is eating at restaurants with us, but without high chairs or any child-friendly amenities, the meals are quite an adventure. This girl is ready to get home!
OK, that's about all the text my fried brain can handle. Love to all back home!!!
