What a fun week we had! Eli is now 9 months old, and had never met his grandmother (oba) until now. Just one of the downsides of living overseas for almost 4 years. We are so happy to be back in America now, so that he can see his family again. (Even if it does look like we are moving far again)
Up until now, all Eli has seen of his Oba was her face through a computer screen. Even though he got excited every time he saw her (when he wasn't too busy eating) he enjoyed being hugged and kissed by her even more. He loves all the love and attention Oba and Tomo have given him. He is spoiled rotten with diaper changes, spoon feeding, and tubbies! We even got out to the park at the Marine Corps museum. (I'm feeling like this is a place we will be spending a lot of time!
Eli also had his 9 month appointment this week. Luckily, he had no shots, and we were happy to hear that he is developing perfectly. Doctor was pleased to hear that he is still being nursed (and I plan to continue until at least his first birthday) and that he gets homemade organic baby food. His height and weight were still on the lower end of things, but at least he's on the charts. Someday those chunky thighs will catch up to him!
