Elijah is three months old!

Elijah has just turned three months old, and we fall more and more in love with him everyday. He has made lots of new friends here, and has become the star of our hc on Sunday. He continues to grow bigger and taller and does lots of new things all of the time. He loves to stand up (with our support of course), loves to laugh, loves to sit and read books with mom and dad, and loves to stare at Chinese people. He loathes to have to take a nap in his stroller which used to be an alltime favorite. He is very active and loves to be on the move and constantly entertained (sometimes we have to make him practice his independence though). He has almost outgrown all of his 3 month clothes and is about to graduate to 6 month clothes! He loves to "talk", and I'm sure that the other day I heard him call out "Mama" to me. How sweet. We love out little papoose!

Touchdown China! - Elijah in his new crib

We arrived back at our home in China about a week ago, and we have had many adventures already. Elijah has been quite the trooper as he has adapted to a new time zone, a new language, a new culture, a new home, and even a new bed. All of our Chinese friends and neighbors say that he is such a content baby. Well, I guess they just haven't seen him during his fussy time of the day! But when he is in his crib staring up at his mobile (thanks Nana and Papa!) he is just as content as he can be- so content in fact, that at just 12 weeks old Elijah is already sleeping 11 hours. What a blessing!
