My poor babe's huge belly....with his skeleton body.




Not so sure about the whole "taking a bath" situation...




But he was very forgiving!

He is the sweetest BABY in the entire universe. He may be five years old, but he is very much a baby....like having a 6 month old. He has to have a diaper bag, extra clothes, diapers, diaper wipes, his own cup, his own bowl, his own food, his own toys, a stroller....not exactly what I signed up for, but loving it. He is TINY....I don't know if you can tell by the pictures, but tiny, tiny, tiny. The size 24 months clothes I brought him are huge on him, but we can manage.

Hopefully, we will get our passport Monday, have our first embassy appointment Monday, then visa pick up on Tuesday and hopefully come home Wednesday. Please pray for the passport to come and for the man to stay healthy. I have been feeding him bread soaked in milk, yogurt, baby food meats, baby food fruits and thickened water with a packet of pedialyte in it and so far, so good. I feed him 4 small meals a day. His gut is working. He has had two dirty diapers and he is peeing good, not too much, not too little....I am hoping to keep him healthy until I can get him home and then start feeding him some real food once we have access to medical care.

  9. My pumpkin had a big stomach but not that big. Her's was an enlarged liver and spleen. A round of antibiotics and some good food and it went away. Saying prayers for a quick journey home.
