I took my lil 3 month Elijah on a world tour, well not really but we are currently in Negril, Jamaica. We had to take 3 different planes & a shuttle ride of 1 1/2 hours. I must admit that he did extremely well during the ordeal. He only got fussy during boarding & deplaning, which is normal for even the most well seasoned traveler.
He has adjusted well to island living~I guess it's pretty easy for a baby as long as he can nurse at will. I swear he has gained at least a pound & grown half an inch in the past two weeks. We had one little mishap with him....my poor baby rolled off the bed & hit is head on the cement floor. I thank the Most High that he was not badly injured. He had a little bump on his head which went away after a day or two. He now has a crib that his grandfather & father built for him. He sleeps in it pretty well & I have to say I sleep much better knowing he is safe! The crib is painted in the same colors as our house...white & yellow.
Here is a handcrafted mobile made for him by our friend Laura. Not only is it pretty, but it also serves to keep bad spirits & duppies (ghosts) away.
Elijah has connected very well with his dad & his dad has done a pretty good job so far of looking after him. Of course he brings him to me if he starts fussing too much.
So that pretty much sums up my last two weeks or so. Here are a few pics of the baby and of course the cliffs across from the World Famous Ricks Cafe. I will try & do a better job of blogging about the daily life here inna Jamaica.
