My 20th Week

I have been sooo busy lately.  I got to ride on a plane across the Pacific, and I was pretty good about
sleeping and eating, and didn’t bother the other Business Class passengers too much.  Daddy got to manage a blowout in the tiny airport bathroom, which I thought was pretty funny, but other than that, the trip was
uneventful for me.  I didn’t have any problems with my ears, which was something I had been warned a lot about. 

We spent three days in Bali, which I didn’t like too much because it was hot and sticky.  I got to take a nap
in the shade by the pool, which was ok, but then my arms were a little red for the next few days, and my eyes hurt so I was cranky at night.  But I slept really well at night and got to sleep in every day and take long naps.  I also discovered how to suck my thumb, which meant I was able to keep myself a little happier when we were out getting breakfast or dinner. 

Once we left Bali we headed to our new home on the island of Papua.  I really didn’t like that since I got
woken up at 2am to catch the flight.  But once we got there, I got in my carseat and slept all the way up
to Tembagapura.  Mom was a bit worried since the drive is very bumpy, but I was nestled in and didn’t wake
up once.  I like our new home better than Bali since it isn’t so hot.  Plus, our first day here, I got my
first tooth, which would explain why I’ve felt so cranky lately and have been trying to chew on everything!

It’s still just a little white stump on my bottom right side, but it feels like maybe the one on the left is
coming in too.  I guess that mom didn’t think I’d be teething yet, because she sent all of my teething toys
in our airfreight shipment.  But she says that should be here this week, so I’m excited.  Plus, my crib will
get here soon, which means I’ll get to set up my room.  It’s nice to finally be in the same place for a while,
and everyone here is so nice to me.  There are also a lot of other babies and kids here, and our house is a
two minute walk from a playground, so I’m really looking forward to getting a bit bigger so I can play more.

I’ve been busy, but super happy, so all is well.
