Travelling with Munchkin

We flew for the first time this weekend...a long weekend to visit my dad in Almería...Ori is an excellent traveller...he made friends with the old guy in the aisle seat next to us who gave us the evil eye when we sat down..little did he know, instead of a screamer, he got a charmer..

On the way back we learned the basics of high altitude diaper changes...good training for what's to come...

Ori, you're cheeks say it all...
You are almost rolling over, mesmerized by food, singing yourself to sleep (or when you have to burp...sometime really hard to tell the difference of what is what), drooling like a puppy and pretty much happy as a clam...oh oh oh, I'm melting a little bit more everyday sweetikins..

Time

Time is currently lost on me...maybe it's the effect of all those night feedings we're still having...but I feel like the days keep passing by at lightning speed...I think I should probably stop acting surprised in these blog posts that it's been xyz long since I last posted...it's probably not surprising to anyone else...I'm not sure anyone even reads this blog actually, besides my mother (HI mom! :)) ...but that's ok..I hope Ori will read it one day...when he's old enough to appreciate it..Or at least take an interest in it..I got to thinking tonight how having a child has changed me.  How I see all children differently now...my compassion has grown exponentially and my ability to love has reached new heights..'skies the limit really...

Oricito, you're going to be 5 months next week...your dad and I stayed up late the other night watching videos and looking at photos from your first weeks...you were so tiny...like a little potato..now you are like a whole sac of potatoes..!  You are long and lean, but with small little folds in all the right places...It's been cold in our apartment and you have been coughing a little bit...so these past few nights I've been holding you extra close to try and keep you extra warm.  You are just about to start to giggle and have been grabbing things for sometime now.  You are fascinated by food...I'm not ready to give you anything yet, but we're starting to think about it...I'm enjoying every minute we spend together these days...you are just SO precious, I can't contain myself..
